You know that feeling when you look at the clock and realize you should've left 10 minutes ago? Yeah. Me too. That's why I built this. Lately is a lateness app for people who are always running late. Whether it's time blindness, ADHD, or you just can't seem to get out the door, this actually works. Here's what it does: - Visual Timer on your lock screen, dynamic island, and watch so you always know when you need to leave - Travel Time Estimation so you stop underestimating how long trips actually take - Smart Travel Time that updates as you move and accounts for your travel method and traffic - Multiple Alerts leading up to the leave time (because one reminder has never been enough) - Alarm at leave time for when you've completely spaced out or in executive dysfunction paralysis - Points and Badges for arriving on time (surprisingly motivating) - Recurring Timers for your regular routines (don't have to set it up every time) No destination? No problem. You'll still get a visual timer, notifications, and alarm — whether you need to leave, make a call, or start anything on time. I made this because I was tired of feeling so guilty and stressed. If you're tired of being late, give it a shot. Terms: https://www.getlately.app/terms Privacy: https://www.getlately.app/privacy

Follow the air pressure around you with a clear forecast. Save a place or use your current location, explore the pressure chart, and choose alerts for high, low or rapid changes. When you want to, log how you feel in a quick check-in. Review your recorded days, severity and pressure context in Trends. These summaries describe what you recorded; they do not establish that pressure caused a feeling or predict a health event. Atmosfix works with a free core: forecasts, configurable pressure alerts, check-ins and basic history. A Home Screen widget, Apple Watch companion and App Shortcuts offer quick access on supported devices. Optional Health views read sleep, mindful-session and step information only after separate permission requests. If enabled, derived 24-hour summaries can be saved with check-ins in protected storage on that device. Raw Health samples are not copied, and derived Health context does not sync with iCloud. Ask Atmosfix uses saved derived context only after a separate opt-in. Check-in sync with iCloud is on by default when available, and you can turn it off in Settings. Saved places and alert preferences stay on each device. Forecasts and optional weather context need a network connection; you can still make a check-in without weather. Support Atmosfix is an optional, renewing subscription using the existing App Store products. The free core remains available without it. Prices and renewal terms are shown by the App Store before purchase. Atmosfix is a weather and personal-record tool, not a medical device or a source of medical advice.
