Get stuff done... tomorrow! mañana is a calm, minimal to-do app for people whose lives do not always go according to plan. Most task apps slowly turn into a backlog of guilt: due dates, categories, reminders, priorities, projects, labels, and endless lists of things you have not done yet. mañana takes a different approach. Start fresh each day. Review what you didn't get done yesterday. Decide what matters now. Let the rest wait until... mañana! WHAT MAKES MAÑANA DIFFERENT A blank list every morning Each day starts clean, without yesterday’s unfinished tasks staring at you. A quick daily review Unfinished items are not lost. Review them when you are ready and choose what belongs on today’s list. An easy way to say “not today” Some tasks are real, but not urgent. Move them to mañana without guilt. Simple gestures Swipe, tap, review, move on. No complex forms. No project management system pretending to be a to-do list. THREE VISUAL STYLES Choose the version of mañana that feels right: Original, Modern, or Retro. Each style keeps the same simple workflow, with a clean design that stays out of your way. WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Add tasks quickly. See what is on your list. Start your daily review from your Home Screen. mañana includes useful widgets designed for quick glances and fast action. NO NONSENSE No sign-up No login No email address required No adverts No tracking No selling your data No AI trying to organise your life No bloated task system to maintain Your tasks are yours. mañana does not ask for an account, and you do not need to share any personal details to use it. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE mañana is for busy people, tired people, parents, teachers, carers, students, people with demanding jobs, and anyone who needs a simple way to keep track without feeling judged. It will not shame you for leaving things unfinished. It just helps you decide what matters today, and what can wait until tomorrow. Built by a high school teacher who needed something simpler.

About

Pomodoro Study

A calmer take on the pomodoro technique: real blocks, real breaks — and the next block is always your choice. Calibrate is built for the moment before you begin. The task is big, the hour is open, and starting is the hard part. So you don't start with 25 minutes. You start with three. JUST START Swipe any to-do and you're in — three minutes with it, that's the whole deal. At the checkpoint, you decide: another block, a break, or stop here. Stopping counts. You started. REAL BLOCKS, REAL BREAKS Work in blocks that end with one honest question — how did it go? Breaks get their own clock, and coming back is a choice too. Nothing auto-starts. Nothing runs you. YOUR LOCK SCREEN DOES THE WORK The whole session lives on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch — the countdown, the check-ins, the next-block choice. Your phone stays locked. You never have to open the app. EMPTY YOUR HEAD FIRST Brain-dump every loose thing into one list for today. Spaces keep work, home and health apart, so today stays short. Every to-do gets a day — or waits, without nagging you. AN HONEST WEEK, NOT A SCORE The weekly recap shows what actually happened — facts, never grades. No streaks, no scores. Miss a day, nothing breaks. WHO IT'S FOR Students in long study sessions. ADHD brains — the app never punishes a wandered mind, it just asks kindly. Anyone who's tried blockers and streak apps and wants something gentler. Calibrate helps you notice. It never notices for you. Focus sessions, to-dos, spaces, lists and keeping track are free — all of it, unlimited. Calibrate Plus adds the long view: your weekly recap, your sharpest hours, and every day you turned up. Monthly, or one purchase that's yours for good. Privacy policy: https://usecalibrate.app/privacy.html Terms of use: https://usecalibrate.app/terms.html
