ClockTimer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Even if you can’t do it today, you can always start again. ClockTimer is a simple app that connects clock, timer, ToDo, and routines in one place. A simple tool for time management and focus. It’s not a Pomodoro timer. And it’s not a detailed scheduler. Just add a task like a quick note, decide “I’ll do this for a few minutes,” and start the timer. When the timer ends, the app asks: “Did you do it today?” “Yes” or “Not yet.” Both are okay. If you couldn’t do it, just start the timer again. ClockTimer isn’t about perfect planning. It’s about giving you a chance to try again. ◆ What you can do with ClockTimer ◆ • See the clock and timer together Check the current time and the time you’re using on a single screen. • Quickly add tasks as they come to mind Capture ideas like notes.

Tidy Note

No ads. No sign-up. No subscription. Add one room and color tracking starts right away. Each room's or task's tile slowly shifts through four colors — Sparkling, Tidy, Getting dusty, Time to tidy — based on the days since you last marked it done. The sakura cat never nags or shames you; it only ever suggests, like "Want to tidy up together soon?" ROOM LEVEL OR TASK LEVEL, YOUR CHOICE - Add a room and color tracking starts immediately - Break a room into tasks (sink, range hood, and so on) for finer-grained tracking - Choose a frequency for each: Daily, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly, or your own custom days NEVER PRESSURES YOU - No overwhelming list of everything you've been putting off, no streak-shaming - The sakura cat's messages are always phrased as a gentle suggestion HISTORY - See each room's and task's color history as a simple day-by-day chart - See at a glance how many times something reached "Time to tidy" EASY TO SEE, EASY TO USE - Color-blind friendly mode (adds a pattern, not just color) - Three text sizes; haptics can be turned on or off - 9 languages: English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese and Portuguese YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE - No account.
