For ADHD brains dealing with Time Blindness and Executive Dysfunction, a to-do list isn't the problem. Knowing how long anything actually takes is. Loopily takes what you need to do out of your head, breaks it into steps, and gives every one its own countdown, so you always know where you are and how long you've got left. HOW IT WORKS Write a routine as a list of steps, each with how long it takes. Loopily adds them up and tells you when you'll finish before you start. Run it one step at a time: a big countdown on screen, and a Live Activity on your Lock Screen so the clock is there when you put the phone down. Run over on a step and the clock keeps counting. Loopily just moves your finish time. One soft chime by default. Turn it off, or make it repeat, in Settings. Give a routine its days and a start time, and Loopily can remind you five minutes before. Switch on "Alarm at the start time" and a real alarm rings when it is due, even with the phone on silent (iOS 26 and later). ONE ROUTINE, NOT SEVEN Most routine apps leave you two options: keep seven near-identical routines in step with each other, or skip the bits that don't apply today and hope you notice. In Loopily a step keeps its own days. Bins out on Tuesday, hair wash Monday and Thursday, the meds that are Monday, Wednesday and Friday: all in one routine, each appearing only when it applies. Individual checklist items can do it too, so the gym kit only shows up inside "pack the bag" on training days. IT LEARNS YOUR REAL PACE Every run is saved. After a few goes at a step, Loopily compares your estimate with what actually happened and offers a better one on the summary screen. Tap it and the next run starts smarter. Forgot to stop the clock in the shower? Correct the finished run, and the record and the suggestions follow. The User Guide in Settings shows each feature in action, one short page at a time. FREE • Two saved routines, unlimited steps in each • Checklists on any step, with auto-complete • A reminder before a routine starts, and an alarm at its start time • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • A notification when a step's time is up • The clock keeps running if you leave the app • Past runs, with how long each step actually took LOOPILY PLUS • Unlimited routines • Steps and checklist items that only happen on certain days • The full calendar: day, week, month or agenda, with routines you can move to a new time in a tap • Events, so appointments sit on the same schedule as your routines • Quick lists: type a few steps and start the clock, or put them on a day, with nothing to set up • The Archive: anything you delete, back in one tap • Family Sharing: one subscription for your whole family One week free trial.
