Pebble — step-based habit & task tracker Build momentum, not just checkmarks. Pebble lets you break any task into small steps you can swipe to record—so even “one line of code” or “10 pages read” counts and keeps your streak alive. Why Pebble? Traditional to-do apps are all-or-nothing. Pebble tracks the progress inside the task. You decide what a “step” means: Progress units (e.g., 1 step = 10 minutes of coding), or Weekly frequency (e.g., basketball 2×/week = 2 steps). How it works Create a task with an emoji and choose the number of steps. Swipe a step whenever you make progress—tiny or big. Set reminders for the exact days and time you want a nudge. Watch your streak grow and your targets fill up. Features Step-based tracking: capture partial progress with satisfying swipes. Weekly goals: set steps to represent how many times per week you’ll do something. Flexible steps: increase/decrease step count anytime; add labels or emoji inside steps. Smart reminders: pick specific weekdays and a time (e.g., Tue/Fri 19:00). Streaks & targets: stay motivated with clear progress bars and completion states. Quick controls: Shift, Reset, and Delete for fast adjustments. Themes & language: Day, Night, and Chill Vibes; English & Turkish. Daily quote: optional inspiration to keep you moving. Great for Coding daily, reading, workouts, language practice, instrument sessions, study blocks, side-projects—and any habit where progress > perfection. Pebble turns tiny actions into visible momentum—one swipe at a time.

taskru is a to-do app built for restarting — not just finishing. Tasks pile up, deadlines slip, and most apps quietly guilt you about it. taskru helps you get moving again instead. (AI features require iOS 26 or later, an Apple Intelligence-compatible device, a supported language and region, and Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings. All AI processing happens on device. You can use taskru’s task management features without AI.) YOUR TO-DOS, READY TO RESTART Home keeps today in focus. Filter by Today, Overdue, Todo, or Doing, reuse recent searches, and change status with a swipe. A short summary of where things stand can be generated, partly with the support of Apple Intelligence, directly on your device. CATCH UP ON OVERDUE TASKS The Due screen gathers everything past its deadline into one calm list. Switch between Agenda and Month views, or narrow down to Today, the next 7 days, or everything at once. RESCHEDULE IT, FINISH IT, OR LET IT GO Overdue Support gives every stuck task a way forward: do it today, push it by a day or three, pick a new date, remove the due date, mark it done — or drop it on purpose. Add an optional note about why it was delayed, so future you understands. PICK UP RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Coming back after a few days away? A Return Summary shows what you finished, what is still open, and a sensible next move — so restarting never means starting from zero. SEE HOW YOUR TASKS ACTUALLY MOVED taskru keeps task changes as an event log. The Timeline shows created, done, and dropped tasks over time, so you can see how your week really went — not just what is left. SPOT WHEN YOU FINISH — AND WHEN YOU STALL Completion Analysis breaks your finished tasks down by priority, tags, and weekday. Learn when you are strongest, and where things tend to get stuck. CHECK & ADD FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN The widget shows your current counts and recent tasks, with a quick route to adding a new one. AND MORE Projects, tags, priorities, subtasks, and repeating tasks. Import unfinished reminders from Apple Reminders. Paste task lists generated by your favorite AI chatbot. Export everything to CSV, Markdown, or JSON. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Your tasks are stored on your device, with optional iCloud sync that you control.
