When scrolling turns automatic, Loopdrop steps in and gently redirects you to something that actually matters. How it works: • Detects when you spend too much time on distracting apps • Interrupts the scroll at the right moment • Suggests quick, meaningful tasks • Helps you build better habits over time What you can do with Loopdrop: • Set custom goals and micro-tasks • Get real-time nudges when scrolling takes over • Block apps during focus sessions • Track your progress and time regained • Turn small actions into real momentum Why Loopdrop? Because the problem isn’t scrolling - it’s losing control of your time. Loopdrop gives it back.

Location reminders that fire when you arrive or leave — and land on your Lock Screen the moment they matter. Paloma turns a plain sentence into a reminder. Type "pick up flowers when I leave work" and she reads the place, the time and the trigger straight out of it. No forms, no menus, no date wheel. WHAT PALOMA DOES Geofence alerts, set to your radius. Get nudged the moment you leave home or arrive somewhere new, with a trigger radius you set yourself — from a tight 25 meters out to 500 — so a reminder fires where you meant it and not a street early. Lock Screen widgets. Your next task on the glass as a circle, a rectangle or a single line. A Live Activity counts a timed reminder down in the Dynamic Island. Home Screen widgets. Two sizes, and you can tick anything off without opening the app. Just type it, like you'd say it. "Bins out every Tuesday." "Dentist on the 20th." "Text mum when I get home." Paloma reads the place, the date and the repeat out of the sentence as you write it. Or say it. Tap the mic and speak the reminder instead. Recognition runs on your device, so the audio never leaves your phone. It speaks Spanish. Type or talk in Spanish and the parser handles it natively — dates, places and repeats included. Not a translated menu; the sentence reader itself is bilingual. Repeats you set once. "Every Tuesday", "every other Friday", "the first of the month". Change one later by tapping the repeat chip — no retyping. A heads-up before the thing itself. "Remind me 30 minutes before" gives you the warning as well as the reminder, and it carries across a whole repeating series. Your day, sorted in seconds. Everything lands in one calm, day-grouped feed. Nothing to file, nothing to drag anywhere. Paloma noticed. Put the bins out three Tuesdays running and she offers to make it repeat, so you can stop typing it. The Sunday sweep. Whatever has been sitting a while, dealt with in a couple of minutes once a week. Your year. Every day you finished, on one screen, with your current streak and your best one. On your Mac too. A real Mac app with its own window, sidebar and search — and Option-Space opens the capture bar from any app. The rest of the phone. Spotlight finds your reminders, Shortcuts and Siri can add them, and a Control Center button gets you to a new one straight from the Lock Screen. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Reminders sync through your own iCloud account. Speech recognition happens on device. There is no Paloma server holding your day, because there is no Paloma account to make. Built for people who think in sentences, not settings screens. Say where and when; Paloma handles the rest.
