Weekfolio is a quiet companion for people who plan on paper. If you love writing by hand but wish your planner didn’t disappear into a drawer at the end of the week, Weekfolio helps you keep what you write — without changing how you plan. Simply take one photo of your weekly planner. Weekfolio stores it securely in your personal iCloud and turns it into a searchable, week-by-week archive. For supported planner layouts, Weekfolio can also recognize events you’ve written down and let you review and add them to your digital calendar — no retyping required. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can provide optional smart insights: gentle summaries of your week, detected themes, and helpful context — all processed directly on your device. Nothing is sent to external servers. What Weekfolio does • Back up your paper planner, one week at a time • Organize weeks automatically by date • Search across handwritten planner pages • Detect events from your planner and add them to your calendar • Offer optional smart summaries powered by Apple Intelligence • Sync safely via your personal iCloud Designed with care Weekfolio works with many common weekly planner layouts and lets you choose or calibrate your planner style for better results.

Deep Work Timer

Start before you're ready. That's the whole idea. FocusTimer is a Pomodoro-style focus timer built for the part everyone else skips: actually starting. Write down what's pulling at your attention, pick the one thing you're doing next, and go. No rigid 25-minute lock-in, no to-do list to organize first, no tree that dies if you look away. WHAT'S PULLING AT YOU? Brain Dump gets everything out of your head in one pass: one line, one thing, no pressure to sort it. Stamp the one you're taking, and the room goes dark around it. Everything else is still there when you come back to it. A TIMER THAT BENDS, NOT BREAKS Every session is adjustable: pause without penalty, add time mid-session, finish early and it still counts. Rigid 25/5 lock-in is the thing every other Pomodoro app charges you to escape. Here it's just how the timer works, free, always. STREAKS, NOT GUILT TRIPS FocusTimer tracks what you actually did. No cartoon pet to starve, no tree to kill, no streak-loss shame for a bad day. A missed day costs you nothing but a missed day. FOCUSTIMER PRO Three things, all built, all real: • Presence: your session on the Lock Screen and Home Screen. Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and widgets, no need to open the app. • Patterns: where your focus actually goes. By task, by time of day, and week over week. • Sound: room tones (rain, café, white noise) and a choice of end chime, on top of the one you already get free. The timer, the brain dump, your streaks, and your full session history are free, always, with no limit and no account. Pro is never a wall on what you've already built, only the tools around it. FocusTimer Pro is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and it's yours on this Apple ID, forever. No subscription, no renewal, no recurring charge.
