TimeStory vs Wakemark Tasks

TimeStory for iPad/iPhone is a paid app (one-time purchase or annual subscription) for creating graphical timelines--project plans, roadmaps, personal journals, histories, and more, on scales from days to centuries--quickly and easily, while avoiding the complexity of project management tools. The free download lets you open, view, and share timelines created on TimeStory for Mac. If you want to create and edit timelines on your iPad/iPhone, you can activate the built-in free trial, and then, if you choose, pay once or subscribe annually. The free trial does not auto-renew into a subscription, so there’s no risk. Use natural touchscreen gestures to navigate and scale the timeline. Create an event just by tapping one of the New Event buttons then tapping or dragging on the timeline where you want it. Attach photos or image files. Divide your timeline into sections. Import your own SVG or PNG icons to mark points in time. Apply background colors, fonts, event shapes, text alignment, and more. Share your work in PDF or PNG format, exporting an entire timeline or just a section of it. On iPad, TimeStory has great support for Apple Pencil and external keyboards and pointers, works great in Split View and other multitasking modes, and supports multiple windows so you can open multiple documents at once or keep it open next to your research. Versions: This version of TimeStory was built to natively support iPad and iPhone. **Note: TimeStory for Mac is a separate purchase.** More info at https://timestory.app/get/ Web: Learn more on our website (https://timestory.app/), with example timelines, release history, and documentation.

Most to-do apps treat every task the same until you manually sort them. Wakemark does the opposite: it shows you what actually threatens your deadline, and lets everything else fade into the background. Every task you add gets a slack number, literally, how many days of buffer it has before it starts putting your deadline at risk. No manual prioritizing, no drag-to-reorder guesswork. Tap "Why?" on any task and see the exact math behind it, not a black-box score. DESIGNED FOR DEADLINE-CRITICAL WORK Wakemark isn't a general habit tracker or a team project board. It's built for the specific shape of work where a real date is coming: client deliverables, launches, submissions, filings. See your project as a simple list or a lightweight board, switch anytime, both are just two views of the same underlying critical path. SWIPE TO DONE, AND FEEL IT Setting a task's status is a single, satisfying swipe, no menus, no taps through a picker. Finishing the last task standing between you and your deadline is the biggest moment in the app, and it's built to feel like one. BREAK WORK DOWN WITHOUT LOSING THE BIG PICTURE Every task can carry its own simple checklist. Group related tasks into sections within a project, or group whole projects together when you're juggling several for the same client. Nothing here changes how urgency is calculated, organization is just a lens on the same honest numbers underneath. SEE HOW YOU'RE ACTUALLY PACING A burndown chart shows your real progress against an ideal pace, no red flags, no guilt, just the honest shape of where you stand. Wakemark also learns, entirely on your device, how your own estimates tend to compare to reality over time, and uses that to make future suggestions sharper. ON-DEVICE AI THAT SHOWS ITS WORK Describe a project in plain language and get a suggested task breakdown. Type a messy note and have it turned into a structured task. Ask "why" a task is urgent and get a real explanation grounded in your actual numbers, not a guess. Every suggestion is yours to accept, edit, or ignore, nothing is ever applied without you. A WIDGET, NOT A NOTIFICATION Wakemark never pings you. Add a home screen widget to see what's most urgent when you glance at your phone, on your schedule, not the app's. BUILT DIFFERENTLY, ON PURPOSE Wakemark is part of My Honest Apps, a personal promise, not a corporate policy. No accounts. No ads. No analytics SDKs. No data collection of any kind. Everything lives on your device; if you want it synced across your own devices, that's an opt-in choice using your own private iCloud, never anything else. The only way Wakemark makes money is an entirely optional tip jar. Nothing is ever locked behind it. If that sounds like the kind of app you wish more of your apps were, you'll feel at home here.
