Silo is a Pomodoro-style focus timer built for Apple Watch and iPhone. It uses subtle wrist haptics to guide focus and break sessions without loud alerts, distracting notifications, or constant phone checking. Perfect for students, people with ADHD, deep-work professionals, and anyone who wants a calmer way to stay on track. Silo is especially powerful on Apple Watch: a tap on your wrist tells you when to focus, when to take a break, and when to return. It’s ideal for libraries, offices, meetings, and anywhere silence matters. “To add something to your daily life without intrusion or complication—that’s what the Apple Watch is about, and this app does a great job of that.” — Apple WatchCast Podcast FEATURES • Apple Watch-first focus timer • Pomodoro-style focus and break sessions • Gentle haptic alerts on your wrist • Adjustable timer intervals on Apple Watch and iPhone • Pause and resume anytime • Quiet, distraction-free design • Great for silent environments • Works great with Airplane Mode SILO PRO • Apple Watch Complications • Plan your day with tasks and reminders • Assign tasks to focus sessions • Mark tasks complete • Custom focus presets • Track daily and weekly focus stats • iCloud sync for tasks and stats Support: support@silofocus.com Terms: silofocus.com/terms Privacy: silofocus.com/privacy
Recuro

Life is full of things that repeat — bills to pay, filters to change, checkups to schedule, chores to handle. Recuro is built for exactly that. Unlike general to-do apps where recurring tasks are an afterthought, Recuro is designed from the ground up to help you stay on top of everything that comes back — weekly, monthly, or once a year. VISUAL DASHBOARD See your life at a glance. The orbital dashboard shows what's overdue, what needs attention today, and what's coming up — all in one calm, focused view. SMART RECURRING ENGINE Set tasks on a fixed schedule (every Monday, 1st of the month, yearly) or based on your last completion (every 14 days after you finish). Skip when you're on vacation. Complete early and let the schedule adjust. COMPLETION TRACKING Every completion is recorded. Add notes to track what matters — "paid $85", "dog weight: 12kg", "replaced HEPA filter". Build a history you can look back on. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Group tasks into Areas — Home, Health, Finance, Work, or anything you need. Each area gets its own color and icon. Filter and focus on what matters right now. STATISTICS & INSIGHTS See your completion rate by week, month, or year. Track streaks. Spot which areas of your life run smoothly and which need attention with the activity heatmap. REMINDERS THAT WORK Per-task reminders, daily summary notifications, and app badge so nothing slips through the cracks. Sync tasks to Apple Calendar for a complete picture of your schedule. WIDGETS Small, medium, and lock screen widgets to keep your tasks visible without opening the app. Filter by area to see only what's relevant. BUILT FOR YOUR PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No account required. No tracking. No ads. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Recuro is free to start with up to 5 tasks. Unlock unlimited tasks, areas, statistics, calendar sync, and all widgets with a single purchase — no subscription, ever. Perfect for tracking bills, home maintenance, car service, medical appointments, pet care, household chores, and every recurring responsibility in your life.
