The closest thing to a paper planner on your iPhone. WeekPad is a weekly planner for iPhone and iPad built to feel like paper: one week to view, you swipe to turn the page, and it sends no notifications at all. Not fewer — none. You already have notes — on your phone, on sticky pads, in the margins of last year's diary. WeekPad gathers them somewhere calm: your year, one clean week at a time. Write your days, drop in photos, tick off your lists, then turn the page. No feeds. No pressure. A weekly planner and agenda for people who think in weeks. WHY IT FEELS LIKE PAPER • One week per page — the whole app is built around it, not an infinite scroll • You turn the page. Swipe from week to week, at your pace • No notifications, no reminders, no alerts — there's no setting to disable, because there are none • No streaks, no completion scores, no analytics. Nothing is measuring you • A blank page — write what you want, how you want, in plain text • Your handwriting belongs here too — photograph or scan a handwritten page, sticky note or ticket, straight onto the day • Works fully offline. No account, no sign-up, no server • Separate notebooks for separate parts of your life. They never mix WHAT IT ISN'T WeekPad isn't a calendar and doesn't try to replace one — no invites, no meetings, no availability. There's no stylus or Apple Pencil input either; you type. But your handwriting still belongs here: photograph or scan a handwritten page, a sticky note or a ticket, and it lands on the day it belongs to. There's no PDF export or printing. And it won't nag you into using it. WHY PEOPLE STAY • A full year at a glance — 52 weeks, one clean page each • Write freely — notes, bullets and checklists, in plain text you fully control • Keep the real stuff — photos, document scans and sticky-note snaps, right on the day they belong to • Share into WeekPad from any app — a photo, a note, a link — straight onto the right day • Search across every planner at once • Scroll, swipe from week to week, and journal if you like • Export anytime — your data, in your hands ONE PLACE FOR EACH PART OF YOUR LIFE Work shouldn't live next to your journal. Keep separate agendas for work, family, training and studies — each its own clean notebook. They never mix. WHAT YOU PAY, AND WHAT YOU GET Get WeekPad once and the whole app is yours — as many agendas as you like, with notes, photos, checklists, search, sharing and Export, all working offline. No free tier that runs out, no limits, no in-app unlocks, no ads. • WeekPad Sync PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to create. No servers of ours. No database. Turn on Sync and your planner lives in your own iCloud — only you and Apple can reach it, never us. No ads, no trackers, no analytics, no data brokers. MADE BY ONE PERSON WeekPad is built and maintained by a single independent developer, not a company. THE HONEST PART Sync keeps your devices matching each other — it isn't a backup, and a change or deletion travels to your other devices. We can't see, control, or recover what's in your iCloud. Export regularly, and keep anything important stored safely elsewhere too. One week per page. Your year, on paper that syncs. IMPORTANT WeekPad is winding down. This is the last planned update. There will be no further updates, WeekPad may stop working with future versions of iOS, and iCloud Sync is now unsupported — it may stop working from 31 December 2026. Everything you have written stays on your device, exactly as it is. Nothing has been removed or locked. Please export your planners and keep your own copies of anything you care about.

You know exactly when you have to be out the door. Somewhere between the shower and your shoes, you lose track. outtimer only cares about one time: when you have to leave. It tells you how many minutes are left, out loud, while you're holding a toothbrush, a hair dryer, or a cup of coffee. WHAT IT DOES Set the time you need to leave and tap Start. That's the whole setup. Every 1 to 5 minutes (you choose), you'll hear "12 minutes left." For the last 10 minutes, Final spurt steps it up to every minute, so the deadline never sneaks up on you. When time's up, it rings. FOR WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE WET • Keeps announcing with the screen off and the app closed • Turns your music down instead of stopping it, so your podcast keeps playing underneath • Vibration only, with three distinct patterns, for when someone's still asleep • Lock Screen widget, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island: see the countdown without unlocking MADE FOR TIME BLINDNESS you just can't feel 20 minutes slipping by, a silent clock won't help. You have to look at it, and looking is exactly what you forget to do. outtimer tells you instead. PRESETS Weekday mornings, gym nights, the school run. Each preset saves its own deadline, interval, and sound or vibration. Repeat it on the days you choose, or use it once and it turns itself off. SUBSCRIPTION INFO Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your Account Settings after purchase.
