This app is perfect for you if: - You want to understand where your time goes. - You want to set goals and track your progress. - You need assistance with learning or training activities. - You want to receive reminders throughout the day about your routine. - You want to plan any day in advance. - You want to fall asleep quickly or relax when you’re irritated. The first app with a no-subscription model. One coin - one perfect day. Coins can be earned in the app through your efforts or purchased. Coins do not expire. Three types of tracking: 1. Stopwatch. Suitable for tasks with uncertain durations, such as “Commuting to work” or “Cleaning.” You can set an approximate time, and the app will remind you when it’s up while continuing to count until you stop it. If you forget to stop the stopwatch on time, you can adjust it on the fly. 2. Timer. Perfect for time restrictions. 3. Interval Program. Ideal for techniques like Pomodoro, HIIT, and Tabata. 4. Manual input of start time and duration. The app offers a rich set of analytics widgets that are always available, even if you have no coins in your account. Balance Wheel, Daily Reports, Monthly and Yearly Summaries, Time-of-Day Analysis, and more. Highly customizable sound settings for timers and interval programs. Want ticking sounds every second? Or at the halfway mark? Or maybe voice announcements? Easy. Plan your days in advance. You can create day scenarios, such as “Weekdays,” “Weekends,” or “Emergency.” Each scenario can include activities and a schedule for each. Using scenarios allows you to quickly set up your plan for the day. The app includes built-in activities: "Falling Asleep," "Meditation," and "Calm Down." Using vibration, they help regulate your breathing. Just follow the assistant’s instructions, and you’ll be able to fall asleep in 15 minutes, even if you don’t feel like sleeping. If you’re irritated, start the "Calm Down" activity and deeply relax. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

MorgenKlar

Messages about your kids come from ten different places. MorgenKlar gathers them in one place – and tells you the evening before what's happening and what goes in the bag. SHARE WHAT YOU GET Take a screenshot of the message from school, after-school care, the club or another parent – or share the message directly if the app allows it. Tap Share and choose MorgenKlar. A screenshot, a PDF or just the text. ONE MESSAGE, SEVERAL CARDS A week plan can hold something to bring, a sign-up and homework. MorgenKlar splits it up so each thing lands on the right child and the right day. The color is the child, the icon is the type: appointment, bring or to do. The message's own words stay with the card. WHEN WE'RE NOT SURE, WE ASK Clear information goes straight into the plan. If we're unsure about the child or the date, we ask one question – with buttons – and the card waits in the Inbox. Payments always need your approval. If the school and the class group write about the same trip, it becomes one card. THE EVENING BEFORE At 7 pm you get one notification about tomorrow: appointments, things to bring and to-dos – per child. Tick things off until it says you're ready for tomorrow. On Sunday evening you get the week ahead, and deadlines are flagged as many days ahead as you choose. If there's nothing tomorrow, we say nothing. THE WEEK AT A GLANCE Each child has their own color and row. Search for a word from the message, and filter to one child or one type. Regular activities like swimming and handball appear on their own – even when a message moves a single practice. SHARE WITH THE OTHER ADULTS Invite the other parent, a step-parent or a grandparent to see a child's appointments, things to bring and to-dos – they pay nothing. You decide whether they can edit or only view. You can each pack from your own phone. HOW WE HANDLE YOUR DATA There is no separate MorgenKlar account – the app uses your iCloud. Children and cards are stored on your phone and in your iCloud; our server doesn't store messages or cards. Shared files are read by AI at Anthropic, and only after you've said yes. The image stays on your phone (not in iCloud) and is deleted 7 days after it's read, or after the time you choose. SUBSCRIPTION The first 14 days are free. After that, One year or Month to month – only one person in the family pays. The subscription unlocks reading of shared files; everything you add yourself works without it. It renews automatically until you cancel at least 24 hours before in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ LANGUAGES MorgenKlar is available in English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German, Spanish, French and Italian.
