Logbook

Features
Read full description

Logbook is a timestamped notes app for people who want to stay focused, aware, and honest about how they spend their time. Built around the practice of interstitial journaling — jotting a quick note between tasks — Logbook helps you stay anchored to what you're working on, notice when you've drifted, and build a clear record of your day without ceremony. Why use it? - Stay focused. A quick "starting on the Q3 report" note keeps you accountable to the task in front of you. - Recover from interruptions. When you come back from a Slack rabbit hole, your last entry tells you exactly where you left off. - Remember what you did. Standups, weekly reviews, performance reviews, invoicing — all easier when the day is already written down. - Notice patterns. Looking back at a week of timestamps shows you where your time actually went, not where you thought it went. Perfect for: • Meeting notes with automatic timestamps • On-call incident logging • Project status updates • Daily standup records • Client call documentation Key Features: • Automatic timestamping - just type and press Enter • Separate logbooks for different projects or events • iCloud sync across all your devices • Clean, distraction-free interface • Searchable history Terms of Use: https://www.ussherpress.com/logbook/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://www.ussherpress.com/logbook/privacy/

Randobeep plays a beep at random intervals — never at the same moment twice. You set a minimum and a maximum in seconds. Every cue lands somewhere inside that range, which means you can't anticipate it. That unpredictability is the entire point. WHAT IT'S FOR - Reaction training — respond to a signal you can't see coming, whether you're drilling footwork, sparring, or working on sprint starts - Language practice — force yourself to produce a sentence on cue instead of rehearsing one in your head - Meditation and breathwork — return attention to the breath at irregular moments rather than settling into a rhythm - Focus checks — a nudge that asks whether you're still on task - Coaching and dog training — mark moments without falling into a predictable pattern HOW IT WORKS Drag the MIN and MAX sliders to set your range, anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds. Tap the orange button to start. The counter tracks how many cues you've heard. Tap again to stop. Set MIN and MAX close together for near-steady pacing. Spread them apart for genuine unpredictability. KEEPS GOING WITH THE SCREEN OFF Lock your phone or drop it in a pocket and the beeps keep coming. Built for sessions where you're moving, not watching a screen. NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET, NO DATA Randobeep runs entirely offline. No sign-up, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. Nothing you do in the app ever leaves your phone.
