Super simple planner without the fuss. Tweek feels as natural as pen and paper. It's a minimal weekly planner and to do list built around one clean week view, with no hourly slots and no clutter. Organise tasks, reminders and notes, share your week with your family or team, and sync it both ways with the calendars you already use. - Week, day and month views Tweek opens in the week view by default, with no hourly scheduling. We think it's the best way to organise your life and work without stress. You see the whole week at a glance and simply move things around. Zoom into a single day planner when you need focus, or switch to the month view for the bigger picture. Use it as a weekly planner, a shared family calendar, or a simple day planner. - To do list, notes, checklists and subtasks Note down your thoughts in a text editor, break big items into subtasks, and build checklists. Attach files to any task, so the document you need sits right where you'll look for it. Everything lives next to the day it belongs to. - Two-way sync with Google, Outlook, Apple Calendar and Reminders Full two-way sync, not just import. Add or edit something in Tweek and it shows up in Google, Outlook and Apple, and anything you change there flows straight back into your week. - Web, iPad and Mac apps Tweek works on iPhone and iPad, on Mac, and in any browser. Start your week on your phone, plan it properly at your desk, tick things off on the go. Your calendar and your tasks are the same wherever you open them. - Colours and custom themes Paint any task any colour you like, and build your own colour theme for the whole calendar. A cosy highlighter and paper feel, in an aesthetic minimalist design. - Reminders and custom recurring tasks Get reminders by email or push notification so nothing slips. Set up recurring tasks on your own pattern: every few days, on specific weekdays, or whatever your routine actually looks like. Build it once and let it run. - Share and collaborate Share your whole weekly planner or just a single task, and work on it together with your team or family. A shared calendar that people actually read. - Your printable paper planner template Go beyond online planning. Print your week filled out or empty and do whatever you want with it: pin it to the wall, use it for a brainstorming session with your team, or hand your schedule to a client. Questions or ideas?

About

Brain Dump

Read full description

Start before you're ready. That's the whole idea. FocusTimer is a Pomodoro-style focus timer built for the part everyone else skips: actually starting. Write down what's pulling at your attention, pick the one thing you're doing next, and go. No rigid 25-minute lock-in, no to-do list to organize first, no tree that dies if you look away. WHAT'S PULLING AT YOU? Brain Dump gets everything out of your head in one pass: one line, one thing, no pressure to sort it. Stamp the one you're taking, and the room goes dark around it. Everything else is still there when you come back to it. A TIMER THAT BENDS, NOT BREAKS Every session is adjustable: pause without penalty, add time mid-session, finish early and it still counts. Rigid 25/5 lock-in is the thing every other Pomodoro app charges you to escape. Here it's just how the timer works, free, always. STREAKS, NOT GUILT TRIPS FocusTimer tracks what you actually did. No cartoon pet to starve, no tree to kill, no streak-loss shame for a bad day. A missed day costs you nothing but a missed day. FOCUSTIMER PRO Three things, all built, all real: • Presence: your session on the Lock Screen and Home Screen. Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and widgets, no need to open the app. • Patterns: where your focus actually goes. By task, by time of day, and week over week. • Sound: room tones (rain, café, white noise) and a choice of end chime, on top of the one you already get free. The timer, the brain dump, your streaks, and your full session history are free, always, with no limit and no account. Pro is never a wall on what you've already built, only the tools around it. FocusTimer Pro is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and it's yours on this Apple ID, forever. No subscription, no renewal, no recurring charge.
