Glances+ vs Effery

Glances+, a new way to track your deadlines. Sync your deadlines across Apple devices with support for iPad as well. One thing a calendar app never shows, number of days to an event, never count from one calendar day to another. Glances+ enables people to organize their deadlines and projects efficiently and intuitively. Whether you're a college student or a busy parent, Glances+ helps you sort out your day in a simple and ingenious manner. Glances+ can import events from the Calendar App to increase efficiency and format the events into the Glances+ format. You can also setup Glances in other time zones. For example, setup a Glance for the next Apple Event in California time zone and see it when it will happen in your local time zone. This homegrown app is for everyone, I wanted users to be able to create and input deadlines quickly and easily. I also wanted them to be able to see their deadlines in chronological order. Now, Glance away all your deadlines. Please read our Terms of Service here: https://glancesplus.com/termsofservice

Some things aren't meant to last. A grocery list. A Wi-Fi password. A recipe you'll try once. A thought that only matters today. Effery is a note-taking app where every note has a countdown. Set a timer — one hour, three days, a month — and when it's up, the note disappears. No clutter. No archive guilt. Just the notes that still matter. DESIGNED TO VANISH Every note gets a time-to-live. Pick from 1 hour to 1 month. When the timer runs out, a 24-hour grace period kicks in. After that — gone. BEAUTIFUL BY DEFAULT Notes appear as book spines with hand-crafted patterns. 24 colors across 8 families. 12 base patterns. 6 hidden patterns to discover through gestures, timing, and exploration. 18 PATTERNS. 6 ARE HIDDEN. Shake your phone. Open the app at dinner time. Use a specific color. Place your phone face-down. Each secret pattern unlocks through a different interaction — no instructions, just play. 14 THEMES From warm Sepia and Paper to AMOLED black and Nord blue. A Japan theme inspired by traditional off-white. Find the one that feels like yours. PRIVATE & ENCRYPTED AES-256 encryption. Face ID or password lock. No accounts. No servers collecting your data. Your notes exist on your device and your iCloud — nowhere else. iCLOUD SYNC Seamless sync across your Apple devices. Encrypted end-to-end. Your notes follow you. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Get reminded before a note expires. Alerts from 1 to 24 hours ahead so nothing important vanishes before you're ready. 5 LANGUAGES English, Italian, German, Spanish, French. ORIGIN I wanted to bake pangoccioli — Italian chocolate chip buns — for someone I love. I needed somewhere to save the recipe. Just for that night. I built this app for that one recipe. Then I kept building. Completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Just a small app made with care.
