Anchor vs LifeLab

A place for your tasks, projects, and daily plan. Anchor organizes your day around focus blocks. Group tasks into a block, give it some time in your calendar, and work through them at your own pace. When plans change, move things around. CAPTURE YOUR TASKS Type a task as it comes to mind. Use Smart Dates to add a date as you type, or hold New To Do and talk through several things at once. Anchor turns what you say into tasks, with projects, dates, and urgency levels, privately with Apple Intelligence.* KEEP PROJECTS ORGANIZED Keep related tasks in projects. Add dividers to separate sections, notes to hold the details, and urgency levels to show what needs attention. Drag tasks into the order that works for you. PLAN WITH FOCUS BLOCKS Bring tasks into a block alongside your calendar events. Set up repeating blocks for the regular parts of your week. Focus on one block at a time, and move unfinished tasks forward when you need to. PICK UP ON ANOTHER DEVICE Your tasks, projects, and focus blocks sync through your private iCloud. Anchor is also available on Mac, so you can continue there. CONNECTED TO YOUR DAY • Apple Calendar and Reminders sync • Widgets and Live Activity • Siri shortcuts • Repeating blocks and custom icons • Works offline • No separate Anchor account required Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. MADE INDEPENDENTLY Anchor is designed and built by an independent developer. No ads, no venture capital. Just an app that keeps getting better with feedback from the people who use it. *Voice capture requires Super Anchor and a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled, using a supported language.

Most productivity apps ask you to commit to forever. LifeLab asks you to test. LifeLab is a quiet, non judgmental space designed to help you run small, structured self experiments on your lifestyle, health, work, and routines. Instead of chasing streaks or feeling guilty about skipped days, you frame your goals as questions and collect evidence on what actually improves your focus, energy, and mood. HOW IT WORKS 1. Frame a Question Turn any goal or curiosity into a test. Example: “Will a 10 minute evening walk improve my sleep quality?” 2. Define a Minimum Version Set a micro goal for low energy days. Example: “Just step outside for 2 minutes.” 3. Choose Your Length and Rhythm Run your test for 3 days, 1 week, or 4 weeks. Track daily, weekly, or on specific days. 4. Check In and Log Mark occurrences as “Done”, “Minimum”, or “Skipped”, which is treated as valuable data, not failure. 5. Reflect and Learn Review insights at the end of the experiment and decide whether to continue, modify, or archive the routine. KEY FEATURES • No Streaks, No Guilt Skipping a check in is just useful data to understand why a routine did not fit. • Flexible Scheduling Perfect for non daily routines like Mon/Wed/Fri workouts or Sunday journaling. • Minimum Version Support Keeps you consistent without burning out. • Custom Metric Tracking Log energy levels, focus, sleep, or custom notes alongside your experiment. • End of Experiment Reviews Deep dive statistics and AI assisted summaries to help you make decisions. WHY LIFELAB? LifeLab is designed for overthinkers, creators, freelancers, and anyone tired of traditional high pressure habit trackers. We believe self improvement should feel like a calm personal laboratory, not a chore list. Start your first tiny experiment today and build a lifestyle tailored to who you actually are.
