Simply Things vs OffShelf

Simply Things is a minimal todo list for people who want to capture tasks quickly, stay focused, and keep daily planning light. No project-management noise. No crowded dashboards. Just a clean place for the Things you need to do, with the Apple-platform details you expect. WHAT MAKES IT SIMPLE - Fast capture for tasks the moment they come to mind - A focused list that keeps today's work readable - Pin important Things so they stay at the top - Reorder and rename Things as your day changes - Widgets that show your pinned Thing and the rest of your list - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Keyboard shortcuts for fast iPad and Mac workflows BUILT FOR FEWER DISTRACTIONS Simply Things is designed to stay out of the way. It gives you enough structure to keep your tasks clear without turning your personal todo list into another system to manage. If you like low-clutter planning, quick capture, and a task manager that feels native on Apple devices, Simply Things is built for you. EARLY BIRD ACCESS Simply Things is still growing. A subscription tier is planned for later, and current Early Bird users keep access to future Simply Things features. Have feedback or a feature request? I read every message: hello@simplythings.app

OffShelf is a study timer and study tracker for anyone whose phone keeps winning. Start a focus session, block the apps that pull you away, and watch your study hours add up, alone or with friends. Pick a topic. Press start. That is the whole ritual. — A FOCUS TIMER THAT KEEPS COUNTING — • Pomodoro (25/5), long deep-work blocks, or open-ended sessions • Face-down mode: the timer only runs while your phone lies face down. Pick it up and it pauses. • Runs on wall-clock time, so locking your phone or taking a call can't pause it or inflate it • Live on your Lock Screen, in a Live Activity and on your Home Screen widget • Timer styles you'll want to look at: a candle under the night sky, a train, a gravity timer that tilts with your phone, an hourglass and more • Study to rain, white noise, a fireplace or the forest — BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS (PREMIUM) — Pick the apps that steal your time, like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat or Netflix, and OffShelf blocks them with Screen Time for as long as your session runs. — A STUDY TRACKER THAT KEEPS THE RECEIPTS — Every finished session is filed under a topic, so your progress stacks up into a record you can actually look at: • Study hours per topic, with levels that climb as they add up • A daily streak, with a weekly Streak Freeze so one bad day doesn't erase a month • An activity heatmap and a daily study chart • Milestones, achievements, coins and Focus XP • Tap "Distracted" to log what pulled you away — STUDY WITH FRIENDS — • Pair with a study buddy: see when they're studying and what they finished today, and nudge them when they go quiet • Start a live co-study session and share one clock • Take on your friends in weekly focus competitions • Climb Today's Focus League, a daily leaderboard of real focus minutes — PLAN YOUR WEEK — • One weekly planner for every topic: tap to add a study block, drag to move or resize, repeat it weekly or keep it to one day • Daily focus goals for the things that can't wait • Don't know where to start? "Pick for me" chooses your next topic based on what you've been neglecting — A STUDY FRIEND THAT CHEERS YOU ON — Your study mascot keeps you company while you focus and talks to you about your day. — WORKS OFFLINE — OffShelf starts fast and works without a connection. A weak signal never stands between you and a focus session.
