Track your New Year's resolutions with intention: set goals, break them into small steps, build lasting habits, hit your numbers, and reflect on your progress throughout the year. Resolutely is a goal journal built for the long haul. Set milestones, build habits, track targets, pick Today's Three, and reflect. Every day you show up becomes a drop of rain, and your goals grow from there. Go at your own pace, no guilt. THREE WAYS TO TRACK • Steps: break goals into milestones with target dates and reminders • Habits: build routines with daily, weekly, or custom schedules • Targets: track any number toward a goal (weight, savings, scores, anything measurable) • Mix all three in the same year GROW EVERY GOAL • Each goal has a Grow tab, where every day you worked on it falls from the cloud as a drop • Tap a drop to see what you did that day • Get three ideas to keep going, written for your goal on your device: one to add to Today, a reminder, and a question to reflect on • Reflection questions start from where you really are, like "On pace for 24 books. What's been working?" TODAY'S THREE • Each evening, pick three things to improve tomorrow: one of your goals, or anything you write yourself • They sit on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so they stay in sight • Check one off and add another, with up to three open at a time • Look back on each one and on the day as a whole, then set tomorrow's three • Link one to a goal and see how it went in that goal's Journal • History keeps every day's three. Tap a day to see everything you wrote SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Three home views, one tap on the sky apart: your year with a growing plant, this month's rain, and your reflection tree • The rain shows a drop for every day you made progress, worked on Today's Three, or reflected • The tree grows a leaf for every day you reflect • A countdown of the days left in your year • Year, month, and week views for habits, with your consistency and running streak • Habit streaks glow, and the flame grows at 7, 30, and 100 days • Line chart with drag-to-scrub for targets • Pace check for targets: see if you're on track to hit your number by your deadline STAY ON TRACK • Catch Up flow flags overdue steps, missed habits, and stale targets so nothing slips through • Reschedule steps with an inline calendar, no extra screens • Guided reflection questions that change based on where you are with each goal • Optional milestone reminders APPLE HEALTH • Link a target to Apple Health and your body weight or steps fill in on their own WIDGETS • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for Today's Three, your goals, a single goal, your growth, and your reflection streak ORGANIZE YOUR WAY • Custom categories with icons • Group goals by category, goal type, or end month • Sort by year, status, or your own order • Track goals across multiple years • Progress bars at a glance iCLOUD SYNC Access your goals on all your devices. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Your goals deserve a distraction-free space. Optional tips support continued development. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays on your device and in iCloud. No account required. No tracking code. Your goals and reflections belong to you. GOOD FOR • New Year's resolutions you want to keep • Long-term personal goals • Building habits without a streak guilt trip • Hitting a number by year's end (weight, savings, scores) • Breaking big plans into steps you can check off • Keeping three priorities in sight each day • Getting a fresh idea when a goal feels stuck • People who want milestones, habits, targets, or all three Set your goals. Build your habits. Hit your targets. Pick today's three. Reflect on what matters. Watch it all grow.

The shift calendar for people on a rotation. Pick your pattern once and ShiftCheck fills in every shift, from last month to a year ahead.

YOUR ROTATION, MONTHS AHEAD • 12 presets named the way crews say them: 2-2-3 (Panama), Pitman, DuPont, 4 on 4 off, 48/96, 24/48, Kelly, 14 on 14 off, 3×12, Continental, 5-5-4, and 4 on 3 off (4×10s) • Or build your own repeat • Picked up an extra shift? The pattern never overwrites a day you changed by hand, and a rotation day you erase stays erased • Unlimited shift types, each with its own color EVERY DAY, AS IT REALLY WENT • Mark a shift as a pickup, charge, or cancelled, and add a note • Stayed late or left early? Record your actual hours and the estimate counts the real minutes • Vacation and sick days on the calendar AT A GLANCE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: your next shift and your week • Apple Watch app with complications for your next shift • A reminder 12 or 2 hours before each shift, off until you turn it on • On shift, a Live Activity shows your earnings on the Lock Screen • Works on iPhone and iPad ON ALL YOUR DEVICES iCloud sync keeps your iPhone and iPad in step through your own iCloud.

SHIFTCHECK PRO: THE PAYCHECK, AND YOUR PARTNER'S CALENDAR The calendar is free, including a basic pay estimate for the month. Pro is a one-time unlock that adds: • Partner calendar sharing: your shifts go into a "ShiftCheck" calendar in Apple Calendar that you share with your partner, family, or coworkers. It updates when your schedule changes, and they don't need the app • This paycheck, for your pay period: weekly, every 2 weeks, twice a month, or monthly • Overtime the way your employer counts it: weekly, daily, California, the 8/80 hospital rule, or 7(k) work periods for fire and police, with limits you set, and off-day pickups paid as overtime if that's your rule • Night, weekend, and holiday premiums, split correctly across midnight • Paid time off in the forecast, a take-home estimate, and your next payday • More than one job, each with its own overtime rules and paycheck • A different rate on any single shift • Paycheck reports with CSV export One-time unlock. No subscription. No ads. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your schedule stays on your devices and in your own iCloud. No account, no ads, and nothing is sold. ShiftCheck sends anonymous usage counts (which screens and features get used, with a random ID that isn't tied to you) so we can see what to fix and improve. It never sends your schedule, pay, names, or notes, and you can turn it off in Settings › Privacy. Free calculators and schedule guides: stackcurious.com/shiftcalendar

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Resolution Tracker at every 8 days against Shift Calendar's every 2 weeks. Shift Calendar's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
