Duro is a perfect app for users who love accomplishing habits through visualization. Unlike one-size-fits-all trackers, Duro recognizes that every goal has its own rhythm. With tailored visualizations and a frictionless interface, Duro turns your daily discipline into a work of art. ------ TAILORED DISPLAYS Every habit is unique, so why track them all the same way? Duro provides customized displays for each habit. By choosing the visualization that best fits the nature of your goal, you optimize your performance and gain a clearer understanding of your progress. INTUITIVE DASHBOARD Keep the big picture in focus. The Duro dashboard brings all your active habits into a single, streamlined view. Manage your daily routines and monitor your consistency across the board without ever feeling overwhelmed. EFFORTLESS LOGGING WITH DURO CARD We believe tracking should never feel like a chore. With the Duro Card, you can record your progress directly from the main screen with a single tap. No deep-diving into menus or switching tabs—just tap, log, and get back to your day. Speed is performance. PRIVACY FOCUSED Your habits are your business. Duro is built with a privacy-first philosophy: we don’t collect your data, period. Everything stays exactly where it belongs—securely on your device. -------- Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.privacypolicies.com/live/acffd0c8-62fa-4547-b54c-d6bfd0bf4c9a
Akai

Akai holds your day and hands it to you one piece at a time. The problem isn't that you don't know what to do. It's that you know it all at once. Akai starts from the opposite assumption: days fall apart, things get forgotten, and it isn't your fault. Holding them together is Kai's job. NOW One thing in front of you, with the time it needs and what comes after. Start, "I can't do it" or "another one": three answers, none of them wrong. JOURNEY The whole day, hour by hour, with the gaps written in. Tap the plus and a gap becomes a thing. Or it stays a gap, and that's a plan too. KAI Kai reads your calendar and open things and answers like someone who knows your week. Ask what's on tomorrow, have it write an email, or tell it you slept badly: it rebuilds the day. YOUR TIME Hours in meetings, hours for your own things, hours still free. No goals to hit, no red charts. FROM ADVICE TO TWO HANDS Kai always tries the lightest step first: it tells you, it prepares, and when something needs real hands it passes it to a person from Grazie Mille. Nothing gets paid without your yes. Also: home-screen widgets, Live Activity, share from any app, Google and Apple calendars, Italian and English. Free forever on the base plan. Akai Pro unlocks more Kai and is billed through your App Store account; it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
