Habit Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Reflect is a habit app built around a simple idea: focus on one habit at a time. Instead of tracking everything every day, Reflect works in clear, finite cycles β 7, 14, or 21 days. Each cycle helps you observe a single habit, log your activity, and understand how it fits into your daily life. There are no streaks to maintain and no pressure to be perfect. Missing a day doesnβt reset progress. The goal is awareness, not performance. How Reflect works β’ Choose one habit to focus on β’ Select a cycle length (7, 14, or 21 days) β’ Log your activity once per day β’ Optionally tag how the day felt β’ Review insights when the cycle ends What makes Reflect different β’ One habit per cycle β no overload β’ Finite timelines instead of endless tracking β’ Reflection over streaks β’ Clean, distraction-free design β’ All data stored locally on your device Insights and reflection At the end of each cycle, Reflect summarizes your activity in a clear, visual way. Review completion patterns, daily logs, and reflections to decide what worked β and what didnβt. Your first cycle includes full access to insights, so you can understand the value before continuing. Designed for privacy Reflect does not require an account. Your data stays on your device. Reflect is for people who want clarity, not pressure. One habit. One cycle. One step at a time.

Chip
Read full descriptionHide full description
Chip is the to-do app for people who hate to-do apps. One task at a time, right on your lock screen, with distracting apps blocked until it's done. No projects. No tags. No inbox to process. No methodology to learn. Type the one thing you want to do, and start. When it's done, mark it done. That's the whole app. Chip puts your active task β your chip β on your lock screen, in the Dynamic Island, and on home-screen widgets, where you'll actually see it. Focus Mode quietly hides the apps that would pull you away. When you finish, the next chip in your queue takes its place automatically. No reorganizing. No weekly review. No tax for using the tool. WHY THIS WORKS The hardest part of most to-do list and task manager apps isn't doing the work β it's maintaining the app. Tagging, sorting, re-prioritizing, processing the inbox, keeping the system "current." That overhead is invisible until you've spent twenty minutes managing your task manager and not done a single task. Chip removes the overhead entirely. There's nothing to maintain because there's nothing to organize. One chip is active. Up to ten can queue behind it. Five routines, five scheduled reminders β caps on purpose. The structure is small so you don't end up curating it instead of using it. WHAT'S INSIDE β’ One chip on your lock screen, in the Dynamic Island, and on home-screen widgets β’ Focus Mode β an app blocker that hides distracting apps while a chip is active β’ Routines β recurring tasks that put a chip on your lock screen at the times you choose β’ Scheduled chips β one-off reminders that fire at a specific date and time β’ A daily planning prompt that gently asks "what's your one thing today?" β’ Siri Shortcuts to start a chip by voice β’ A 7-day chart of what you've actually done BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS, USEFUL FOR ANYONE ADHD brains know the failure loop: install a productivity app, set it up beautifully, never open it again. The setup is the work, and the work is exhausting. Chip removes the setup entirely β an ADHD-friendly task app with zero maintenance. If you don't have ADHD, Chip is still the calm, single-tasking home for the thing that matters today. No streaks. No 47-item list. No "productivity system" demanding your attention before you've done anything. DESIGNED FOR iOS Chip lives where your attention already is β the lock screen, the Dynamic Island, the home screen. The Live Activity shows your active chip with a one-tap "done" button. Widgets in medium and large sizes let you complete chips without opening the app. Everything syncs across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. FREE AND PRO Chip is free forever. The free tier covers the active chip loop, the queue, widgets, the Live Activity, stats, and Siri Shortcuts. Chip Pro unlocks: β’ Routines β recurring chips on the schedule you choose β’ Scheduled chips β one-off reminders at a specific date and time β’ Daily prompt β the morning nudge for the one thing today β’ Focus Mode blocking β the actual app-blocking Available as a monthly or annual subscription. Cancel anytime. Privacy: Chip stores your chips locally and syncs through your private iCloud account. We don't sell your data, run ads, or track you across the web.
