Gym every 3 days. Laundry every 7. Call mom every 5. Life runs in cycles, not calendars. N-day tracks the tasks that repeat on your schedule, shows you what's due, and stays out of your way. No streaks to keep alive. No guilt when you skip a day. Just a calm list of what matters next. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY LIVE You've tried apps with streaks. You've tried calendars. You've watched 47 overdue tasks pile up and felt like the problem was you. It wasn't. The system was. Complete a task and its clock resets. Fell behind? Tap "Catch up to today" and the count starts fresh from today, with no backlog. Changed your mind? Undo it. Bad week? Tap "Illness" and your schedule shifts forward. Going away? Tap "Vacation" and your tasks wait for you. HOW IT WORKS • Any interval: every 2 days, every 3 weeks, every 2 months • Completing a task resets its cycle • Buffers move the schedule when life gets in the way • Clear status at a glance: overdue, due today, coming up • One calm daily summary instead of a stream of pings WORKS WITH YOUR APPLE DEVICES • Siri: "Complete my tasks in N-day" • Widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen • Apple Reminders sync • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac • Spotlight search for any task PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads. N-day works offline from the first launch. Your tasks stay on your device and, if you choose, in your iCloud. Export or import your data any time. Anonymous usage analytics can be switched off in Settings. ONE PRICE, YOURS FOREVER N-day Pro unlocks Siri, iCloud sync and Reminders with a single purchase. No subscription. Made by an indie developer who uses it every day.

Time blindness isn't a discipline problem. It's a visibility problem. PACE gives you two instruments. Routines handle the next ten minutes. Journeys handle the next ten months. Both do the same thing: they take the arithmetic you can't do in your head and put it on screen, continuously. ROUTINES — for the parts of the day that keep slipping Give each task a time limit. Start the routine. PACE tracks you against the plan in real time and tells you whether you're ahead or behind — not at the end, but right now, on the task you're doing. - Live pace tracking. Every task shows time remaining and whether you're gaining or losing ground. - Adaptive timing. Started fifteen minutes late? PACE shortens the tasks you've allowed it to shorten, proportionately, so you still make it. - Arrive targets. Add a destination and PACE folds in live travel time — driving, walking, or biking — then works backwards to the exact minute you should start. - Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. The countdown lives outside the app. You don't have to unlock your phone to know where you stand. - Apple Watch. The last seconds of every task buzz your wrist. Advance without touching your phone. JOURNEYS — for the goals that take months Twenty minutes a day is invisible until something counts it. Journeys log every session against a long-term goal and show you the total you've actually accumulated. - Sessions, hours, and milestones tracked automatically. - Honest progress math: how far along you are, and what this week still owes you. - Time banked — the hours you put in that you'd never otherwise have noticed. NEEDS ATTENTION — nothing slips quietly One list on the home screen surfaces everything drifting. Amber for overdue or behind pace. Gray for gone quiet. Green for on track today. You see it the moment you open the app. BUILT FOR - Adults with ADHD and anyone who loses time without meaning to - People who keep starting the same habit and can't tell if it's working - Anyone who does the morning routine every day and is somehow still late - Students who need a system for keeping track of assignments, projects and study habits. Keep pace with time — minute to minute, and month to month. PACE Pro subscription: $6.99/month or $49.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase; the subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.thepaceapp.info/privacy
