Read full description

TickTappy is one-tap time tracking that’s fast, visual, and built for real life. Create colorful tags and tap a circle to start tracking. Tap again to stop — and if you switch to another tag, TickTappy automatically stops the previous timer (unless you pin it). Made for Apple devices: • Home Screen widgets (Small/Medium) with interactive tag circles • Live Activity for your running timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Control Center widget (iOS 18+) • Apple Watch app + complications so your timer is always one tap away Why you’ll love it: • One-tap start/stop on tag circles • One timer at a time (with optional pinned background timers) • Quick time adjustment right after you start/stop (fix “oops” moments instantly) • Start retroactively (e.g., “started 30 min ago”) • Offline-first: track anywhere, sync later when you’re online • Day & week summaries with charts and progress bars • Organize tags into groups, reorder with drag & drop, and archive tags without losing history • Optional sound reminders per tag • Full entry management: view, edit, and delete past time entries No account required. Everything works offline, stays on your device, and there is no limit on tags or entries. Sync & Premium: TickTappy is fully usable offline with local storage. Premium adds cloud sync and cloud backup, so your tags and entries stay the same on every device you use. The Apple Watch app, widgets and Live Activities are free.

About

Day Mark

Features
Read full description

Day Mark is a to-do app that remembers what you finished. • Calendar heatmap: see what you did on any day at a glance. Color only shows how much got done — it's a ruler, not a medal. No streaks, no scores. • Lead time: every task shows how long it took from creation to completion. • Journal: write a few lines about a day and read them next to what you finished. • To Do: one list, sorted into today, later and no date. Mark what matters as a priority and it moves to the top. No folders to manage. • Focus: Pomodoro or stopwatch, with an optional soundscape (rain, tide, a distant bell) and a soft ticking clock, all synthesized on the device. • Your data stays yours: syncs across iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud, and the app keeps a readable Markdown/JSON archive you can copy from the Files app. • No servers, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.
