Build a timer that walks through your routine, one named step at a time. Interval Timer for Tasks lets you chain intervals into a single timer. Give each interval its own name, duration, sound and colour, and the app calls out every step as it passes. Watch the progress ring wind down, or close the app and let a notification tell you when the current interval has ended. Save as many timers as you like, and run more than one at the same time. Add a start delay so you can get ready, and a finish delay so you can wrap up. LOCK SCREEN ALARMS Turn on Lock Screen Alarm for a timer and each interval rings like a system alarm, so it still reaches you when the screen is off. Requires iOS 26.1 or later.

Speed is the to-do list for people who want to do, not just plan. Most task apps bury you in features and endless lists. Speed strips it down to one idea: see the next thing, do it, move on. A clean, all-black interface keeps your attention on the work — not the app. — SPEED MODE — Tap one button and everything disappears except your current task and a timer. One task at a time, full screen, zero distraction. Finish it, swipe, and the next one slides in. It's the fastest way to get through a busy day. — EAT THE FROG — Pick your one most important task each morning and Speed pins it to the top, front and center. Do the hard thing first and the rest of the day feels easy. — PRIORITIES THAT ACTUALLY GUIDE YOU — Rank tasks P1–P5. Your highest priorities rise to the top automatically, so you always know what matters most right now. — THE EISENHOWER MATRIX — Not sure what to work on? Sort tasks by urgent vs. important in a few taps and let Speed organize your day for you. — REWARDS THAT KEEP YOU GOING — Earn points for every task you finish and cash them in for real rewards you set yourself. Turn your to-do list into a game you actually want to win. — SPEED AI — Chat with Speed to add, plan, and organize tasks — by text or voice. Ask it to plan your week and it drafts a balanced schedule across your days — frogs, priorities, and all. (Bring your own API key.) — EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT, DONE RIGHT — • Today, Up Next, Someday & Scheduled — organize by when, not just what • Recurring tasks — daily, weekly, monthly, or after completion • Subtasks, notes, and multiple color-coded lists • Voice input — add tasks by talking • iCloud sync — private, automatic, across all your devices • Built for iPhone with a beautiful dark interface No account. No ads. No clutter. Just you and the next thing to get done. Download Speed and feel the difference momentum makes.
