In the hustle of modern life, our minds are constantly bombarded with information, making it a challenge to keep track of everything. HiccupAI aims to serve as your private personal memory(not chatbot!), extending your brain's capabilities through AI. It's an app where you can safely store thoughts, ideas, reminders, and reflections without the fear of forgetting. Imagine being able to communicate with snapshots of your past selves, accessing a time capsule of your thoughts and experiences. **How Does It Work?** This is not just another chatbot or chat assistant. You can enter your notes through the input on the homepage, or you can use the speech-to-text feature just next to the input area to take notes. You need to fill in some items to create your personality before you can interact with your AI experience. We use a credit-based billing system; upon registering, every user receives 50 free credits to explore the app's capabilities. There's the option to purchase additional credits as needed—no subscriptions or hidden commitments. Credits are only spent when you interact with AI; you can enter unlimited notes without incurring any cost. **Privacy is not Optional** Your privacy is paramount. We ensure that all user data remains stored on your device, never on our servers. **Join Us on This Journey** HiccupAI is in its formative stage, and we invite you to participate in shaping its future. Privacy-focused, versatile, and user-centric. We aspire to become an ecosystem for nurturing your digital twin. Support us, and let's embark on this journey together to explore the vast potential of our minds with HiccupAI at our side.

TaskLock is a to-do list, habit tracker and calendar for iPhone and Apple Watch with a built-in app blocker. Choose the apps that distract you, and they stay locked until you finish the task, complete the habit or the event ends. No timer to wait out, no "ignore limit" button: you stay focused until the work is actually done. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a task, habit or event, or sync your Apple Calendar. 2. Pick the apps, categories or websites to lock: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, anything you choose. 3. Opening a locked app shows a shield with the tasks still keeping it locked. 4. Check the task off on your iPhone or Apple Watch and the apps unlock. Locks are optional. Without one, TaskLock is a simple, fast to-do list. APP LOCKING • Lock until a task or habit is done, or for the length of an event, such as "Study" from 2 to 4 pm. • Lock single apps, whole categories like Social or Games, and websites. • Lock groups: save sets like "Social media" and assign them in one tap. • Start a lock later in the day. • Stay honest: a confirmation countdown before completing or removing a lock, and a daily limit on lock changes. Set it to "no changes" for strict mode. TASKS • One daily card with today's tasks, events and habits, other days a swipe away. • Timeline of everything past and upcoming, with filters. • Move missed tasks to today in one tap. Move or copy any task to another day. • Saved task lists for things you add often. • Reminders, notes, links with previews, locations, search and Control Center quick add. HABITS • Every day, chosen weekdays or every N days, up to several times a day. • Streaks, a history strip and a progress page with rings. • Skip a day, change today only, or edit from today on while past records stay intact. • Habit lists such as "Morning routine". CALENDAR • Two-way sync with Apple Calendar, including iCloud, Google and other accounts on your iPhone. • Private calendars that live only in TaskLock. • Timed and all-day events, repeat rules from daily to custom, reminders, locations and meeting links. APPLE WATCH, WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITIES • Watch app: see today's plan, add tasks and events, and check off a task to unlock apps on your iPhone. Complications and Smart Stack widgets included. • Home Screen widgets, plus Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. DESIGN • Minimalist, one main screen. Light and dark themes, nine accent colors or your own, alternative app icons. Available in 47 languages. PRIVACY • No account, no sign-up. Your data stays on your iPhone, and the app works offline. Optional backup to your own iCloud Drive. • App blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time framework. TaskLock cannot see what you do in other apps. PRICE Free to download. The free version limits how many tasks, habits and events you can create. TaskLock Premium removes those limits. Made for students, remote workers and anyone who wants their phone to wait until the work is done.
