Cadence
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cadence is the recurring task tracker that doesn't nag. Water the plants. Change the sheets. Call your mum. Cadence keeps the rhythm of recurring life quietly on your home screen, so you can see what's due without a single push notification. Every household task, on a gentle loop. Set up a task once, choose how often it repeats, and Cadence takes it from there. When it's time, it shows up. When it's not, it stays out of the way. Your week, quietly organized. See today, this week, and later at a glance. Cadence groups tasks by when they actually matter, so you can scan the week ahead without scrolling through a wall of checkboxes. See it on your home screen. The widget is the whole point. One glance tells you what needs doing. Tap to open, mark things done in a single action. No badge to clear, no inbox feeling, no opening yet another app just to remember what you were supposed to be doing. Make it yours. Forty colours, dozens of icons, one tap to pick. Give "water plants" a leaf. Give "rent day" red. Your widget ends up looking like you, not like a productivity app. See your rhythm. Cadence tracks streaks, completions, and how far you've drifted over time, so you can notice the patterns without obsessing over them. The gym tasks you always skip. The weekly ones you nail every Sunday. A quiet record of what your week actually looks like. Stop worrying. Start doing. No push spam. No daily summary emails. No reminders piling up in Notification Center. Cadence shows you the right task at the right time, in the one place you already look, and otherwise stays silent. Your data, your device. No account required. No cloud sync you didn't ask for. Your tasks live on your device, full stop. Export anytime to back them up, import anytime to move them over. Cadence is for the stuff that comes back around. The gentle, unglamorous, every-few-days tasks that keep a life running. Set them up once, glance at the widget, carry on.
