TaskCard turns your day into a visual time grid. Block out your hours, drag a card to a new time, and get reminded the moment a block starts. PLAN BY TIME, NOT BY LIST Add a task with a start time and a duration and it becomes a block on a 24-hour grid. The current time line is always visible, so you can see what is now and what is next at a glance. DRAG TO RESCHEDULE Plans change. Drag a card to a new hour, pull its edge to make it longer or shorter, and the rest of the day stays readable. Tasks that run past midnight stay visible on both days. SEE THE WEEK, MONTH AND YEAR Pinch the grid to zoom out to a week, then a month, then a year, and pinch back in to the day. Every level is anchored on the day under your fingers, so you never lose your place. MAKE THE CARDS YOURS Pick colors, gradients, fonts, patterns, icons and emoji for every card. Start from a preset library with ready-made tasks for work, study, fitness, home and daily routines. REMINDERS AND ALARMS Get a notification when a block starts or when time is up, plus an optional alarm for the blocks you cannot miss. A Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. REPEAT AND PRIORITIZE Repeat daily, on weekdays, weekly, or on your own pattern. Set a priority from low to urgent and spot what matters by color. WIDGETS AND SYNC Put today's schedule on your Home Screen and Lock Screen with TaskCard Pro. Your plan syncs across iPhone and iPad over iCloud, and analytics show how much of each day you actually finish. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY One main screen, no setup, no clutter. Create, complete, move, or delete from the same view. TaskCard is for anyone who thinks in time blocks: people protecting deep work, students planning study sessions, and anyone with ADHD who needs the day laid out visually instead of as an endless list. FREE AND PRO TaskCard is free to use with up to 3 cards a day, including reminders, alarms, iCloud sync and analytics. TaskCard Pro adds unlimited cards every day, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and the Live Activity countdown. FOR SCHOOLS AND TEAMS TaskCard can be distributed to many iPhones, iPads and Macs through Apple School Manager and Apple Business Manager. TaskCard Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Eligible new subscribers may get a free trial; its length is shown before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings.

One rule. Every day. Don't break the chain. Most habit apps drown you in features, charts, and reminders you ignore. Lock In does the opposite. It's built around a single, unbreakable rule: pick your "one do," show up every day, and don't break the chain. Miss a day and your streak resets to zero. That's the whole point — the cost of skipping is what makes you actually show up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a 60-second quiz. Tell us your goal, what's been holding you back, and what kind of person you're trying to become. We build a personalized plan around your answers — not generic advice. 2. Sign your pact. Press and hold to commit. "One do. Every day. No skips." 3. Pick your one do. Start tiny — read 10 pages, drink water, walk 5k steps, no phone in bed. The smaller the do, the harder it is to skip. 4. Lock in daily. Open the app, check the box, watch the streak climb. Miss a day? It's gone. Start over. WHAT'S INSIDE – A streak engine that actually means something. No "streak freezes," no second chances, no participation trophies. The rule is the rule. – A custom-designed daily home screen built around your streak — clean, focused, no clutter. – Your Dos: track multiple habits without losing the focus on your primary lock-in. – Streak stats and XP. Watch the chain grow. See how far you've come. – Daily reminders. One ping at the time you choose. Adjustable, optional, and never spammy. – Cross-device sync. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — your streak follows you everywhere. – Sign in with Apple is fully supported with privacy-respecting authentication. – Premium experience with no ads, no tracking pixels, no dark patterns. WHO IT'S FOR – People who've tried every habit tracker and given up. – Builders, lifters, readers, writers, founders, students — anyone with one thing they want to do every single day. – Anyone tired of streaks that don't matter and "gentle nudges" that change nothing. WHY LOCK IN IS DIFFERENT Most apps soften the rules to keep you happy. Lock In keeps the rules sharp to keep you honest. The streak isn't a number — it's a contract with yourself. The only way to win is to show up. The only way to lose is to skip. That's it. SUBSCRIPTION Lock In offers a yearly and monthly subscription. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
