Get your evening back. Calmshift helps you finish work in your head, not just on your laptop. The unanswered email. The decision you keep postponing. The task you're afraid to forget. Your mind keeps them all running in the background. That's why work follows you home. Calmshift is not another planner or to-do list. It's a short evening ritual: write down everything that's still open, decide what waits for tomorrow, and let it go. You don't have to finish everything to finish work: every open item just needs a place to go. You do the work; your head no longer has to keep track of the rest. The evening is actually yours, and your head is clear. DURING THE DAY Something surfaces, you capture it in a couple of seconds as an "open loop", and you go back to work. No sorting, no categories, no deciding. AT THE END OF WORK A short ritual walks you through four quiet steps: • Review what piled up, so nothing slips through, not even the small thing from this morning • Decide on each open loop (tomorrow, a specific date, later, or done with it), so nothing stays in your head overnight • Choose 1–3 priorities for tomorrow, so in the morning you know where to start • Note one good thing from today and how you feel, so the day ends on what went well, not on what's left Then you close the day, and a star appears on your night sky. One for every day you close. Over time, the sky becomes a record of your calm evenings. WHAT BUILDS UP OVER TIME • A night sky that grows with you: one star for every day you close, a planet every twenty days, an aurora for a week you close completely, and a comet at rare milestones • Tap any star to reread that day's reflection, or share your whole sky as a single image • A mood chart drawn from your own reflections, plus honest observations like "Best weekday: Thursday", shown only once there's enough data to mean something BUILT AROUND REST • A streak that counts only your work days. Weekends and days off never break it • Vacation mode silences every reminder and freezes your streak while you're away • Reminders that learn: Calmshift notices when you actually start and close your day, and nudges you around that time instead of a fixed hour YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No ads, no tracking. Your tasks, open loops and reflections never leave your iPhone. Calmshift only counts anonymous usage, like how many rituals get closed, to make the app better. You can export all of it (tasks, reflections, closed days, settings) to a single file at any time, and import it back on a new phone. Available in English, Polish, Japanese and German. SUBSCRIPTION Free to try for 7 days. After that, choose: • Monthly • Yearly (best value) • Lifetime: one payment, no subscription Prices are shown in the app and vary by country. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
