Most task managers set fixed schedules, like washing laundry every 5 days. If you wash early, the reminder still comes when it's not needed. Choreissimo resets the schedule from the last completion date, making reminders timely and relevant. I've been using Choreissimo daily for months to keep my household tasks in check. I designed it to meet my own needs, but it might be just what you need too! # Key Features: ## Recurrent Chore Tracking with a Twist: Instead of rigid schedules, Choreissimo tracks chores based on when they were last done. This way, your chores adapt to your life, not the other way around. ## Graspability: You can see what's going on at a glance. The interface is designed to be clear and straightforward, so you always know where you stand with your tasks. ## Handy Widget: No need to open the app every time. The widget keeps your chore list glanceable right on your home screen. ## Built for Real Life: I made this app for myself and have been using it daily. It's practical, reliable, and designed to handle everyday life. ## Inactive chores Not all chores need to be tracked all the time. With inactive chores, you can set tasks aside without deleting them. They’re excluded from tracking and reminders, while keeping all their settings intact—ready to be reactivated whenever you need them again. Give Choreissimo a try and see how it can simplify your chore management. It's not about marketing hype—just a genuinely useful tool to help keep your life in order.

Visual Timer & Day Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
A gentle day planner that lays today out as pictures and bands of time. A list of words is hard to hold in your head, and not knowing what comes next is unsettling. This is a planner you can see. - How long something takes, shown as the size of a block Plans are laid out as coloured blocks with an icon, and the length of the band is the length of the time. A card at the top of "Today" counts down how long is left in the current plan (or until the next one) as a shrinking bar, so "how much longer" and "what is next" are answerable at a glance. - Nothing tells you off - There are no marks for what you did not do, no completion rates and no streaks. A finished plan is finished; an unfinished one is "this far for today". That is all. You are not scored. - Notifications that do not hurry you - A notification says only that it is time for something. No urgent words, no exclamation marks. - Made to be safe to use - No ads - Everything stays inside this device only (nothing is sent anywhere) - No photos and no personal details are collected Daily routines repeat by day of the week, and a one-off for today can be added on top. Choose from 8 colours and 16 icons. Because you can see it, it is easier to keep going. Basic use is free. Only exporting your schedule as a text file is a one-time in-app purchase (a single payment of ¥200 in Japan, no subscription; the price is shown in the store). The app connects to the internet only to confirm a purchase, and your records are not sent anywhere. Gently, quietly, today made visible.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Choreissimo at none against Visual Timer & Day Planner's 1. Visual Timer & Day Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
