On-Timer helps people with ADHD be on time for meetings, with a three-stage reminder sequence that coaches you through getting ready. HOW IT WORKS On-Timer reads your calendar and lets you set three reminders for any meeting: โ€ข Get Ready (30 min before): start wrapping up what you're doing โ€ข Get Set (15 min before): head to your desk and gather what you need โ€ข Go (1 min before): join now Each reminder names the meeting and tells you how long you have. All timings are configurable in Settings. AUTOMATIC ALERTS BY CALENDAR Choose your calendars once in Settings, and every upcoming meeting in them gets a blue Alert without a tap. Your choices always win: a meeting you switch off stays off, and a meeting you change keeps your change. TWO REMINDER LEVELS โ€ข Alert (blue bell): a standard time-sensitive notification โ€ข Alarm (red bell, iOS 26+): a prominent AlarmKit alarm that breaks through Focus and silent mode, so you'll always hear it RELIABLE BY DESIGN โ€ข Each occurrence of a repeating meeting gets its own reminders โ€ข Stopping or dismissing a reminder silences it on iPhone and Apple Watch together, and the later reminders still come; to switch a meeting off, tap its bell โ€ข iPhone, Apple Watch and the live view stay in step, even when the app is closed VISUAL COUNTDOWN A full-screen countdown view with a kitchen-timer dial and chevron stage indicator shows exactly how long until your meeting. The chevron motif (orange, yellow, green) tracks your progress across the app, widgets, Dynamic Island and live view. Tap any meeting to view full event details (attendees, notes, location) without leaving the app. APPLE WATCH A full Apple Watch app with meeting list, countdown view, alarm toggle, and "I'm Ready" rewards. Paired iPhone and Watch sync over Bluetooth for near-instant updates, so an alarm set on one appears on the other right away. Four complication styles (corner, circular, rectangular and inline) keep your next alarm visible on any watch face. ICLOUD SYNC Blue-bell Alerts sync between your iPhones and iPads via iCloud, so the alarms you set on one device follow you to the others. Red Alarms stay on the iPhone where you set them, and are shared with its paired Apple Watch. LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND For meetings with a red Alarm, a countdown on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on Apple Watch from Get Ready until the meeting starts, even with the app closed. It names the next stage as it goes. You can keep it up for a few minutes after the start in Settings. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Small and medium Home Screen widgets, plus circular, rectangular and inline Lock Screen widgets, all with chevron progress indicators. AI MEETING PREP On-device Apple Intelligence suggestions help you prepare for each meeting based on its title, timing, attendees and notes. Requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device on iOS 26+. "I'M READY" REWARDS Tap the button during Get Ready or Get Set to celebrate with confetti and unlock a personal micro-reward from your custom list. ALSO โ€ข Volume-off detection warns you if your phone is silenced and offers to upgrade to the red Alarm tier โ€ข Past alarmed meetings shown for quick reference โ€ข Pull-to-refresh, and automatic refresh when your calendar changes REQUIREMENTS โ€ข iOS 17.6+ (core features) โ€ข watchOS 10.6+ (Apple Watch) โ€ข iOS 26+ for the red Alarm โ€ข iOS 26+ on an Apple Intelligence-capable device for AI Meeting Prep โ€ข iCloud account for sync between devices โ€ข Calendar and notification permissions

Beat time blindness and task paralysis with AuraPlan, the visual daily planner built for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent minds. Say your goal out loud, watch a giant countdown ring tick down, and finally see your day. WHY AURAPLAN IS DIFFERENT Most planners hand you a blank grid and blame you when it stays empty. AuraPlan starts with your energy and your words. A friendly AI copilot turns "clean the kitchen" or "study for finals" into small, timed steps with icons and pastel colors. A ring-shaped visual timer shrinks in real time, so five minutes actually feels like five minutes. BUILT FOR NEURODIVERGENT BRAINS - Visual countdown ring, not a shrinking bar of guilt - Pastel palette designed to prevent sensory overload - Every tap answers with gentle haptic feedback - VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and high-contrast Dark Mode - No streaks, no shaming, no red numbers everywhere WHAT YOU CAN DO 1. AI COPILOT โ€” Type or speak a fuzzy intent. Aura returns a step-by-step routine you can drop into today with one tap. 2. VISUAL TIMELINE โ€” See the whole day as color blocks. Long-press and drag to reshape it in seconds. 3. FOCUS TIMER โ€” A ring so big you can read it from across the room. Overrun turns soft red instead of stopping you dead. 4. ROUTINES LIBRARY โ€” Save "Morning Launch", "Deep Work" or "Wind Down" once, apply forever. 5. ENERGY-AWARE PLANNING โ€” Tap Low Energy and AuraPlan quietly moves your hardest tasks to tomorrow. 6. INSIGHTS โ€” Weekly focus time, completion rate and energy patterns, without judgment. WHO IT HELPS - Adults and teens with ADHD or executive dysfunction - Autistic users who thrive on predictable routines - Students juggling classes, jobs and side quests - Remote workers, writers and creators fighting context-switching - Anyone who has ever stared at a to-do list and justโ€ฆ frozen PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your day is your business. AuraPlan works fully offline in Anonymous Mode โ€” no account required to try the core loop. Sync uses strong TLS, and only anonymized event names leave your device. GDPR and CCPA supported, with one-tap export and deletion. FREE VS PRO Free forever: visual timeline, up to three routines, core focus timer. AuraPlan Pro unlocks unlimited AI planning, unlimited routines, weekly insight reports, custom themes and icons, and future Apple Watch complications and calendar two-way sync. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Ready to make time visible?
