Ever had one of those days? Busy from morning to night, yet by bedtime you can't say where the time went. The plan was long, and only a few things actually moved. OwnState puts what you meant to do, what you actually did, and how it felt on the same timeline. At the end of the day you don't get another half-checked list. You get an honest record. A few days in, you start to see yourself clearly: where your time really goes, what keeps getting pushed back, and what kind of day leaves you at your best. Record. Review. Adjust. Change starts with seeing clearly. MORNING: FIT TODAY INTO REAL TIME • Drag tasks, habits, and favorite timers onto the timeline and see at a glance whether today is overbooked. • Mark what matters so it doesn't get buried under small stuff. DURING THE DAY: JUST START, OWNSTATE KEEPS TRACK • Start a timer with one tap and follow it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Check the task off when you're done and the time is saved automatically. Forgot the timer? Add the time afterward. • The day ring draws today's plan and what actually happened in one circle, so the gaps are easy to spot. • With widgets, Shortcuts, and Apple Watch, you can start a timer or jot something down without opening the app. EVENING: A FEW LINES TO KEEP TODAY • Journal entries line up day by day, with each day's mood visible at a glance. Formatting happens as you type, and everything saves automatically. • Notes written while a timer runs are linked to that task, so later you know what you were thinking at the time. WEEKEND: LOOK BACK, THEN ADJUST • Overview opens with one sentence on the biggest change in this period, then expands by day, week, month, quarter, or year. • Compare plan with reality and this period with the last one. Months and quarters can also be compared with the same period last year. Find the one change that's really worth making. • See long-term habit trends and a calendar heat map. Break goals into milestones and next steps, so they don't stay on a wish list. YOUR PERSONAL CONTENT STAYS IN YOUR HANDS iPhone, iPad, and Mac can sync between your own devices through iCloud, and you can turn on automatic encrypted backups on this device. "OwnState will keep being developed, because I use it every day to keep my own record." — Rikka Hong Use every feature free for 3 days after you download: plan on day one, act on day two, look back on day three. That's enough to tell whether it fits you. The trial simply ends when it's over, and you won't be charged. If you like it, buy OwnState Pro once, with no renewal, for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

Verdict

The call

Recallify's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
