Maelstrom vs HelpDo

Maelstrom helps you stick to your routines and habits. Create routines by breaking them down into individual tasks with a duration. When you start a routine, the app will guide you through it one task at a time with a timer. When the time is up, it will alert you to move on to the next task to make sure you complete the routine. Additional features include: - Individual task schedules (e.g. "Journal every Sunday") - Minimum time for positive habits (e.g. "Read for at least 5 minutes") If this sounds helpful, give it a try. The app is free without subscriptions, ads or tracking. It is a personal project with no commercial intention.

HelpDo is the productivity app that turns your goals into a daily plan — and lets the people you trust actually help you reach them. Most goal apps leave you on your own. HelpDo lets you invite a friend, partner, mentor, or coach to follow a specific goal, see your progress, and keep you on track in real time.
