About

Tempo

Features
Read full description

Tempo combines your to-do lists with routines that you're wired to complete. Put a routine in order, hit Start, and work through it with a timer for each task. Add Pomodoro breaks if you want. Finishing your morning routine before lunch is a perfectly respectable goal. Set tasks to repeat, keep notes on one-offs, and check your history. You can run a routine from your Apple Watch while your phone stays in your pocket. Like this description, it’s built for simplicity and no fluff. Free to use - no subscriptions either. Syncs across all your devices and stores your information securely on the cloud. No account needed to get started if you want to keep everything local.
