Apple Reminders is reliable, private, and built right into your devices. For those who prefer a more visual, spacious approach, Cinch offers a calm alternative designed around intentional daily focus. Cinch is a clean, lightweight client built directly on top of your system's existing database. It brings an airy, timeline-based layout to the tools you already rely on, without forcing you to sign up for a new service or move your data. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Cinch doesn’t require an account or operate third-party servers for storing your tasks. Your reminders remain in Apple Reminders and sync through your personal iCloud account when iCloud synchronization is enabled. Changes made in Cinch remain available in Apple Reminders and through Siri. A CALM, SPACIOUS LAYOUT The interface is designed with generous spacing and simple typography to make your day easier to scan. β€’ Visual Timelines: Your tasks are organized chronologically by day. If you need to postpone something, just drag and drop the item to a future date. β€’ Integrated Dashboard: See your calendar events and reminders together in one place. Customize your view by pinning your most-used lists and adding a personal tagline for daily focus. PRACTICAL TOOLS β€’ Natural Language Input: Type tasks naturally, like "Review project details every Tuesday at 10am." Cinch automatically schedules the task and keeps the title clean β€” no complicated menus. β€’ Location Alerts: Receive an alert when you arrive at or leave a specific address, making location-based tasks useful at the right moment. β€’ Simple Organization: Customize lists with color schemes and sort tasks by priority or due date. On Mac, global keyboard shortcuts let you quickly add tasks from anywhere. Enjoy the trusted, private Apple foundation you rely on every day, paired with a calm and distraction-free workspace. Note: Natural language input is currently supported in English. CINCH PRO Cinch is free to use with one custom list. Cinch Pro is an optional auto-renewing yearly subscription that unlocks unlimited custom lists, inline calendar events, labels (tags & contacts), location-based tasks, and custom theme accents. Cinch Pro supports Family Sharing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the purchase is confirmed. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. -- Privacy Policy: https://getcinch.app/privacy-policy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
