A calmer take on the pomodoro technique: real blocks, real breaks — and the next block is always your choice. Calibrate is built for the moment before you begin. The task is big, the hour is open, and starting is the hard part. START FROM YOUR LIST Swipe any to-do and you start with three easy minutes. Then your block carries on by itself. REAL BLOCKS, REAL BREAKS Each block ends with one question: how was your focus? Answer, and your break begins. Come back when you're ready. YOUR LOCK SCREEN DOES THE WORK The whole session lives on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch — the countdown, the check-ins, the next-block choice. Nothing needs unlocking. You never have to open the app. EMPTY YOUR HEAD FIRST Brain-dump every loose thing into one list for today. Spaces keep work, home and health apart, so today stays short. Every to-do gets a day — or waits, without nagging you. AN HONEST WEEK, NOT A SCORE The weekly recap shows what actually happened — facts, never grades. No streaks, no scores. Miss a day, nothing breaks. WHO IT'S FOR Students in long study sessions. ADHD brains — the app never punishes a wandered mind, it just asks kindly. Anyone who's tried blockers and streak apps and wants something gentler. Calibrate helps you notice. It never notices for you. Focus sessions, to-dos, spaces, lists and keeping track are free — all of it, unlimited. Calibrate Plus adds the long view: your weekly recap, your sharpest hours, and every day you turned up. Monthly, or one purchase that's yours for good. Privacy policy: https://usecalibrate.app/privacy.html Terms of use: https://usecalibrate.app/terms.html

If Apple Notes is too much and Reminders is the wrong tool, MiniLista is the app in between. It does one thing: lists. Shopping, packing, interview questions, monthly bills — anything you want to keep in order, without the overhead of a task manager. No due dates. No priorities. No notifications. Just fast, focused lists that feel like typing in Notes — tap to add, tap to edit, drag to reorder. DESIGNED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD A split-view layout keeps every list one tap away in the sidebar, with the selected list open beside it. On iPad, the sidebar scales to the screen and hardware-keyboard shortcuts (⌘N, āŒ˜ā†©, and more) keep your hands on the keys. BUILT FOR SPEED • Create a list with a single tap — no menus, no save buttons • Add and edit items inline — tap the text and type • Drag to reorder lists and items • Delete with a swipe; undo a deleted list from the toast • 16 hand-picked colors and four bullet styles (none, numbered, bullet, dash) • Copy any list or share it straight to Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, and more • Dark mode by default, light mode when you want it FREE • Up to 10 lists, 30 items each • Copy and share as plain text • Light and Dark themes PREMIUM • Unlimited lists and items • iCloud sync across all your devices • Copy and share as Markdown or CSV • Custom list colors — pick any color per list • Five extra themes, each with its own accent Premium is an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. One purchase covers your whole family — up to six people — through Family Sharing. MiniLista collects nothing about you. Free lists stay on your device; Premium syncs through your own private iCloud, which even we can't see. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. MiniLista Premium is an auto-renewable subscription: $9.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. A one-time lifetime purchase ($24.99) is also available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
