Break free from routine or start a new one with Stoobs! Receive randomly timed reminders that inspire you to try something new, shake up your habits, and bring more variety into your day. Unlike traditional calendars and reminder apps, where everything is scheduled for an exact time, Stoobs uses the power of surprise to capture your full attention, so it feels more natural, less repetitive and much harder to ignore. Instead of reminding you at exactly the same time every day, Stoobs delivers reminder notifications at random moments within the time ranges you choose. List reminders make Stoobs even more varied: you choose a theme and add several possible messages. Stoobs then picks both a random time and a random item from your list. A mindfulness reminder might send a breathing exercise one time and a short reflection prompt the next. A movement reminder might choose squats, stretching or jumping jacks. Stoobs doesn't limit how many reminders you can schedule. Whether you want a few reminders each week or dozens every day, Stoobs keeps them coming. Make Stoobs yours! Customize: • Notification text, color and notes • Daily, weekly, monthly or yearly intervals • Weekdays and time windows • Repetitions per interval • Minimum time between reminders • Random entries from your own list, such as messages, quotes or exercises around one theme Need inspiration? Explore our collection of examples: • Drink water four times a day • Stand up and stretch five times a day • Take a movement break three times a day on weekdays • Take a mindful breath three times a day • Practice a mindfulness exercise twice a day • Stop scrolling and put your phone away every evening • Read a page of a book once a day • Call some friends twice a week • Water your plants once a week • Review your budget once a month • Declutter one small area once a month • Back up your important files once a month • Change your passwords once a year • Schedule a dental check-up once a year • Review your personal goals once a month • Write down one thing you're grateful for once a day • Send yourself a motivational message twice a day • Get some fresh air twice a day • Practice a random mindfulness exercise three times a day • Receive a random motivational quote four times a day • Pick a random workout exercise once a day • Get a random journaling prompt every evening Your privacy comes first. Stoobs doesn't collect any personal data. When you start your journey, an anonymous account is created automatically—no sign-up, no personal information required. Your reminders are for you, and only you. Note: Push reminders require notification permission and internet connection

Verdict

The ChitChat App's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
