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.

This Order brings your whole day into one calm, focused list — your tasks, your calendar events, and your reminders, side by side and sorted into the order you'll actually do them. No endless backlog. No guilt-inducing pile of everything you've ever meant to do. Just your dateless tasks, today, and the week ahead — organized into Morning, Midday, and Evening so you always know what's next. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • One unified day. Your tasks live alongside your real Calendar events and your Reminders, so nothing falls through the cracks and you never have to check three apps to know what your day looks like. • Sorted by time of day. Everything flows naturally into Morning, Midday, and Evening. Set your own boundaries for when each part of the day begins. • To-do, Today, and Later. A home for tasks without a date, everything urgent or due today, and what's coming up this week — three focused views so nothing crowds everything else out. • Real two-way Reminders. Reminders due today and over the next week appear right in your list. Check one off here and it's marked done in Apple Reminders too. • Your Calendar, in context. Events sit next to your tasks so your commitments and your intentions share the same timeline. • Tags that fit your life. Eight ready-made tags — Self, Work, Spouse, Kids, Friends, Household, Financial, and Hobbies — that you can rename, recolor, reorder, or replace with your own. Group your list by tag whenever you want a different view. • Pick what shows up. Toggle individual Calendars and Reminders lists on or off, so only the parts of your life you want to see make it into your day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your tasks stay in your iCloud — synced across your devices, never sold and never shared. No accounts, no ads, no cross-app tracking. We use privacy-respecting, anonymous usage analytics to improve the app — and you can turn that off in Settings. BUILT FOR TODAY'S iPHONE Designed for the latest iOS with a clean, modern interface that stays out of your way and lets your day take center stage. This Order isn't about doing more. It's about seeing clearly what's in front of you — and doing it in the right order. FREE TRIAL & SUBSCRIPTION This Order is a paid subscription. A 3-day trial is available to new users. Continued use of the app after the trial requires an auto-renewing subscription. A one-time purchase is also available. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew in your Apple Account settings after purchase. TERMS OF USE (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
