Most productivity apps are filing cabinets. You open them, you type things in, you close them. Whether anything actually happens is entirely up to you. Sofya works the other way round. It reads what you have going on, and it gets in touch. A PLAN EVERY MORNING, FREE At 7am the Morning Planner looks at what is due today, what is already overdue, and the habits you are trying to keep. Then it tells you where to start. You do not open the app. You do not stare at a list deciding. It arrives. This is free, and it stays free. WHAT YOU KEEP IN IT Tasks with priorities, due dates, tags and subtasks. Habits, daily or weekly, with streaks that are worth protecting. Goals broken into milestones you can see yourself moving through. A focus timer that knows which task you are on, with mindful breaks between sessions. All of that is free too. SIX MORE AGENTS, IN PREMIUM The Habit Coach checks in at 8pm when a streak is about to break, and names the one worth saving tonight. The Focus Guardian books your focus time on weekday mornings, before the day fills up. The Wellness Check notices when you have loaded more into a day than a day holds. The Smart Scheduler reads your deadlines and works backwards. The Goal Advisor reviews what you are building on Sunday evenings, and says so when goals are moving. FRIDAY, IN WRITING The Insight Narrator writes up what moved this week, from your real data. Not a chart to interpret. A paragraph to read. ALSO IN PREMIUM Apple Calendar sync, so due dates and focus blocks sit alongside your meetings. Streak freezes, for the days life gets in the way. Task breakdowns that turn something vague into the first three steps. ABOUT YOUR DATA Sign in with Apple is supported if you would rather not hand over an email address. Sofya asks for nothing it does not need, and you can delete your account and everything in it from Settings, at any time. SOFYA PREMIUM Available as a monthly or annual subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.

Cift turns scattered thoughts into a plan you can visualise and act on. Speak, type, or add a photo. Cift separates a brain dump into tasks and calendar events, understands dates and times, groups related items, and files everything into categories you control. Capture without forms: Say "dentist Thursday at 3" and the task is ready with its date, time, and category. Speak naturally, type several things at once, or combine words and photos. No menus, rigid commands, or repetitive fields. Turn photos into actions: Add a screenshot, whiteboard, timetable, or handwritten list. Cift can turn what it sees into organized tasks and events while keeping the original image with the result for context. One plan, four calendar views: Move between day, week, month, and year using the calendar controls. Tasks and events share the same timeline, so your list and calendar never tell different stories. Pinch the day timeline to zoom the hours in or out. Connect the calendars you use: Bring in selected calendars from one or more Google accounts, with changes synced both ways. See Apple Calendar events alongside them, and connect Cift tasks to Apple Reminders. Edit by saying what changed: Swipe right on a task, group, or event, then describe the change in plain language. Select several tasks with two fingers, or edit the events in the day, week, or month you are viewing. Cift applies the changes directly. Build a system that fits you: Create categories, choose their colors, group related tasks, pin what matters, and add rich notes with headings, lists, fonts, and links. Open any note full screen when you need more room. Keep today close: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your plan visible. Plus members can check, add, and edit tasks from Apple Watch, with changes synced back to iPhone. Private by design: Cift stores your core planning data on your device. Connected calendar and reminder data also live in the services you choose to connect. Cift does not sell your data or show ads. Limited usage and reliability data help us fix problems, and are never tied to your name, email, or anything you write. Cift is free to use. Cift Plus unlocks unlimited photo capture and Smart Editing, Smart Categories, Smart Details with auto-extracted context, Apple Watch actions, Apple and Google Calendar sync, Apple Reminders sync, Live Activities, and every future update. Choose monthly, yearly, or lifetime access. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
