A smart timer that guides you through every step. Most timer apps just count down. Ritmo walks you through what to do, how long, and what's next β€” with haptics and audio cues so you can close your eyes, put the phone down, or keep your hands on the pan. Tell Ritmo what you need β€” a Pomodoro sprint, a 4-7-8 breathing session, a perfect steak β€” and the AI builds the full step-by-step routine in seconds. Routines for: - Breathwork β€” box breathing, 4-7-8, coherent breathing - Focus β€” Pomodoro sprints, deep work blocks - Mindfulness β€” short grounding sessions, body scans - Cooking β€” steak, eggs, pasta, sous vide, anything with timing - Eating β€” slower, calmer meals - Anything else β€” describe it, the AI builds it A few things we got right: - Every step has its own duration, instruction, and cue β€” not one long beep at the end - "Up Next" preview so you're never surprised mid-flip - Haptics and audio that actually work eyes-closed or hands-busy - Live Activity and Dynamic Island support - Timing stays accurate even if you switch apps - No streaks. No leaderboards. No nagging notifications. No ads.

You forget things you wrote down because you never open the note again. Peekmo keeps short notes on your Lock Screen and in a Home Screen widget. Recycling day, a family birthday, taking your medication β€” the things you know but keep missing, back in front of you every time you pick up your phone. Write it, and it is on the widget One input field sits above the list. New notes are pinned by default, and only pinned notes reach the widget. No folders, no tags, no formatting β€” this app is the few lines you must not forget. Seeing notes on the Lock Screen Β· Lock Screen widget β€” press and hold the Lock Screen, tap "Customize" and then "Lock Screen", and add the Peekmo widget under the clock Β· Home Screen widget β€” press and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen and add it there Β· Pinned notes also stay visible in StandBy and on always-on displays Notes stay on the device No account, no server. Notes never leave the device, and deleting the app deletes them with it. Only the minimum is collected automatically: crash diagnostics (Firebase Crashlytics) and banner ad delivery (Google AdMob, non-personalized). No tracking. Free, with a banner ad Every feature is free. One banner ad sits at the bottom of the home screen. Privacy policy: https://cottonray.com/privacy/peekmo Contact: help@cottonray.com
