KeepCue is a day planner with a visual timeline that shows your calendar alongside. You can add your own tasks, activities, and routines. It comes with helpful ready-made routines that you can easily add to your planner. For those of us who need structure, routines, and flexibility in planning. VISUAL TIMELINE WITH YOUR CALENDAR See your work and personal life at a glance, alongside your existing calendar events. Your schedule and free time in one view: find the time you didn't know you had, fix an overlap you didn't intend, or swap an activity just for this week. KeepCue can show any calendar your Apple Calendar app can access, including iCloud, Google, Outlook, Holidays, Birthdays, and subscribed calendars. KeepCue only reads your calendars, and what it reads stays on your device. ADD YOUR OWN TASKS, ACTIVITIES, AND ROUTINES • Add activities and routines, anchored to time and real moments. • Unlimited one-time activities. Up to 3 repeating activities free. • Repeat daily, on chosen weekdays, or every few days or weeks. • Break anything overwhelming into a checklist of smaller steps. • Customize each activity with your selection from a variety of icons and colors. • Choose how completed activities look: a color tint, dimmed, or a strikethrough line. FLEXIBLE CUE-BASED ROUTINES Let your cues guide you back on track. Instead of fixed times, anchor activities and routines to approximate time blocks plus something that already happens in your daily life, e.g., when you wake up, when you walk through the front door, when you close your laptop. A cue is something that already happens in your day that you can tie to your routine, something that tells your brain the routine starts now. KeepCue provides 60+ cue ideas to get you started. READY-MADE ROUTINES KeepCue comes with real, helpful routines for morning, afterwork, night, and weekends that you can easily add to your planner. Morning: Core, Full Afterwork: WFH Afterwork Transition, Post-shift Recovery Night: Minimalist, Wind-Down, Work & School Weekends: Sunday Reset, Weekend Recovery DARK MODE KeepCue goes by your iPhone's settings, whether Light or Dark mode. There are also dark and tinted app icons, for when you customize your Home Screen icons to Dark or Tinted. REMINDER NOTIFICATIONS Get a reminder when an activity is about to start, or 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes before. Reminders cover your KeepCue activities only, not your calendar events. Tapping a reminder opens the activity's details. Completing an activity clears its reminder. HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS • Small widget: the activity you're on, or the next one. Also works in StandBy mode. • Lock Screen widget: see what's next on the Lock Screen. • (Pro) Next activities medium widget: a short list of activities coming up today. • (Pro) Checklist widgets: choose a routine and check off its steps right on the widget. You can add more than one checklist widget. PRIVACY No ads, no account, and your data is never sold. Your activities and routines stay on your device. FREE AND PRO KeepCue has a generous free tier with no time limit. It includes the visual timeline with your calendar, ready-made routines, up to 3 repeating activities, unlimited one-time activities, cues, checklists, reminders, and the small and Lock Screen widgets. An optional upgrade to KeepCue Pro adds the next activities and checklist widgets, unlimited repeating activities, and every future Pro feature. Choose monthly, yearly, or lifetime. Monthly and yearly renew automatically until you cancel. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with access forever. All plans support Family Sharing.
