FomoWave is a trend wave app that helps you track your own FOMO keywords and understand their flow at a glance. Add keywords you care about, set a start date, choose a trend duration in days, and decide whether each keyword should loop or expire. Each keyword moves along a wave over time, helping you visually estimate whether it is currently rising, peaking, or falling. Instead of simply listing keywords, FomoWave focuses on showing where each trend is right now. It helps you organize short-term interests, hot issues, and long-term themes more calmly, so you can reduce FOMO and follow what matters with better timing. Key Features Wave Graph Keywords appear as points on a smooth wave and update their position over time. Keyword Management Add, edit, and delete your own FOMO keywords anytime. Trend Duration Set the expected trend period in days and control how fast each keyword moves through its cycle. Loop On/Off Keep tracking ongoing themes or let temporary keywords expire after a set period. Custom Colors Assign unique colors to recognize each keyword instantly. Rising/Falling Indicator See whether a keyword is moving upward or downward with simple direction arrows. Google Search Shortcut Tap a keyword and choose Search to quickly look it up on Google. Widgets Check your keyword flow directly from the Home Screen. Settings Choose Light, Dark, or System theme and adjust basic display options for a clean experience. Recommended Uses Track anything that triggers your curiosity or FOMO, such as stocks, crypto, memes, game metas, trending phrases, people, events, or personal interests. Use short durations for temporary hot issues and longer durations for ongoing themes. With duration and loop settings, FomoWave gives you a simple visual way to follow trends without being overwhelmed by them.

About

Tsugitsugi Chain Timer

Features
Read full description

Tsugitsugi Chain Timer runs several countdowns as a chain: when A ends, B starts on its own. For cooking, studying, and workouts, you stop re-setting "the next five minutes" over and over. โ–  When one ends, the next begins Line up steps into a chain and start it once. An alarm rings at the end of each step and the next step starts automatically. It keeps going with the app closed and the phone in your pocket. โ–  Your Lock Screen shows what's running and when it ends Running chains live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: the step name ("Cook noodles"), the time left, and the end time ("Ends 7:41 PM"), all in words, never just a color or an icon. โ–  Rings until you stop it, even in Silent mode Alarms use AlarmKit in iOS 26. They ring through Silent mode and Focus, and they don't cut out until you stop them. Your music keeps playing. โ–  Several chains at once Run the pasta chain and the oven chain side by side. There is no artificial limit on how many run at the same time. โ–  Simple controls - Tap to start - Pause, resume, skip, cancel - Repeat a whole chain (e.g. Focus 25 min โ†’ Break 5 min ร— 4) - One-off quick timer - Per-step alert sounds (4 included) โ–  No ads, everything free No feature limits, no counters. If you like the app, you can tip the developer from Settings (tips don't change any features). โ–  Privacy The app never connects to the network. Your chains and timers stay on this iPhone and are never sent to the developer or anyone else. No tracking, no ads. Requires iOS 26.0 or later on iPhone (also runs on iPad).
