54% of people admit work is their top priority. A bigger priority than their families, relationships, and personal health. We get it. It's hard. You have big goals. You're trying to provide for yourself and your family. Work is important, having money is important, and your job can require long hours. "Work-life balance" implies you need some sort of equal time for all the important things. But we know this just isn't a reality. So what do you do? The solution is what we call "work-life harmony." This means seeing your life as one whole, not compartmentalized roles competing against each other. Work-life harmony isn't about equal time for each role. It's about ensuring each role gets the care it needs. This is why we built Harmony, to help you become more effective in all areas of your life, and to reach your full potential as a human. Inspired by principles taught in Atomic Habits, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Getting Things Done, planning with Harmony is simple yet extremely effective. Based on data from a pilot group of users, 77% reported "good" or "very good" health in all their roles after 30 days, compared to only 23% at the start. One user, after using the app for several weeks, commented: "Harmony has completely changed how I approach my weeks, and my life." So how does it work? There are 3 core steps: 1. Establish your mission First, take a step back. What do you really want in life? Harmony will help you create a Personal Mission Statement, establishing your deeper why. You really can't think about what's next week until you know what's at the end. Harmony also allows you to create long term goals, guided by your mission. 2. Plan your weeks based on roles We've found planning at the weekly level, based on roles, to be very effective. Daily planning or to do lists are a good start, but they're too short sighted. The week is a perfect frame of reference. Harmony will guide you every week in thoughtful planning sessions and suggest goals based on your mission. 3. Live it daily Rather than daily planning, we just review our weekly plan throughout the week. Harmony's AI will help you time-block your goals (or smaller tasks) and nudge you to do the right things at the right times, so you can live in accordance with your mission and plans every day. The app is simple to use and engaging. When you check off a goal, you'll see confetti fly in the air. When it's time for weekly planning, we will make you feel the urgency an Alarm that bypasses do not distrub. This app isn't going to magically do the work for you. But if you're someone who is striving to be a good person and just lack a some nudging and structure, this is the perfect app for you. Features: - Meditation-like mission statement builder - Role-based weekly planning - Simple 1-2 high-impact goals per role - Alarm notifications - Home Screen widgets for your mission and weekly goals - Weekly reminders to do your planning - Private, offline, encrypted on-device data - Dark mode --- Need help?

OpenDeck
Read full descriptionHide full description
OpenDeck is a viewer for self-contained HTML *documents* ("decks"), analogous to a PDF reader or a web browser opening a local page. Decks are content the user explicitly imports (via Files, AirDrop, or the share sheet) — they are not code downloaded to change the app's own features, and the app ships no in-app store or remote-content fetch. Each deck renders inside a sandboxed, cross-origin iframe served from an isolated origin (a custom deck:// scheme on iOS/macOS). The sandbox withholds top-level navigation, so a deck can never replace or reach the app shell or the native bridge. The app's functionality is fixed; decks cannot alter it. (Ref: Guideline 2.5.2.) To test presenting: on first launch the app preloads a short "Welcome" deck plus three example decks (illustrative HTML presentations) — open any of them from the library and move through the slides by tapping the screen (iPhone/iPad), using the on-screen arrow controls or the thumbnail rail, or pressing the left/right arrow keys. To test import: ready-made .deck files are downloadable from the "Examples" section of the home page at https://open-deck.org (smallest is "What Compounding Actually Does", 0.3 MB — direct link: https://open-deck.org/downloads/compounding.deck). Download one on the device, then open it via the system Share sheet → OpenDeck, or from the Files app — it is added to the library. Note: those three decks are also preloaded, and decks are content-addressed, so re-importing one simply refreshes it rather than duplicating; to watch a brand-new deck appear, first delete it from the library (••• → Delete) and then import the downloaded file. (AirDrop'ing any .deck to the device and choosing OpenDeck works too.) The bundled example decks are first-party sample content; any photographs in them are licensed stock imagery (Pexels License, which permits commercial and in-app use). The app collects no data and makes no network requests; everything is stored on-device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OpenDeck at none against Harmony's 5. OpenDeck also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
