Nomad Routine vs FASTER

"Quitting the 9-to-5 just meant working 24/7." If you're a freelancer, digital nomad, indie hacker, or content creator, you know the struggle. The biggest lie about working for yourself is that you control your time. Instead, the boundary between work and life completely collapses. You answer client emails at dinner, edit videos on the weekends, and even when you're supposed to be "relaxing," you're consumed by the guilt of not being productive. You are always online, always operating in a 24/7 state of low-level anxiety. Nomad Routine was built specifically to solve this. We are not just another productivity tracker trying to squeeze every last drop of hustle out of your day. Nomad Routine is an Anti-Burnout Rhythm Engine. We help you achieve razor-sharp, distraction-free focus when you are on the clock, and—more importantly—give you the absolute permission to completely disconnect when you are done. Maximum efficiency output. Zero-guilt living. Core Features Designed for the Independent Creator: The Tri-State Flip (Total Work/Life Isolation) Achieve true work-life separation. When you tap "Clock Out," the app physically shifts. Work tasks are aggressively hidden, the interface becomes warm, and you are forced to transition into "Life Mode." You are off the clock. Go touch some real grass. Custom Workflows (Your Life, Your Labels) [NEW] Not everyone fits the standard "Work / Learn / Life" mold. Now, you can entirely customize your state names to fit your reality. Rename them to "Client Work / Deep Code / Family Time" or "Filming / Editing / Unplugged." Build boundaries that actually make sense for your specific career. The Fluid Bucket (Strict Daily Limits) Set a hard limit (e.g., 6 or 8 hours) for your workday. The system will alert you when you've hit your daily capacity, shutting down the hustle and reminding you that today's work is officially done. Reality Check (Cure Your Optimism) "It'll just take 30 minutes" is a classic freelancer trap. Track your estimated time versus your actual time spent. Discover your personal "Time Inflation Rate," dial in your focus, and finally cure your blind optimism. The Rhythm Archive (Historical Tracking) [NEW] Stop wondering where the month went. Review your comprehensive history logs to analyze your past weeks. See when you peaked, identify habits that lead to burnout, and use your own data to build a healthier, more efficient rhythm for the future. The Nomad Contract (Your Rules, Enforced) Define your ideal week. Want Wednesday to be a strict "Learning Day"? Want to work half-days on Friday? Set your contract, and the system acts as your strict mentor, violently rejecting any work tasks you try to schedule on your off days. Stop letting "freedom" turn into a 24/7 prison sentence. Download Nomad Routine, sign your Nomad Contract, and take your life back. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

You know the feeling. You work all day and still go to bed with the sense that nothing truly got finished. The list grew. The tasks blurred together. You were busy — but busy is not the same as done. FASTER was built for that moment. FASTER is a simple time management app for choosing what matters and getting it done. It is based on the method in Jeff Morris’s book, FASTER: A System for Finishing What Matters, and turns those ideas into a daily practice. HOW IT WORKS Each morning, choose the tasks that truly must get done today. Not everything you could do. Not everything you want to do. Only what matters most. Then estimate how long each task will take. FASTER adds up your daily workload before you begin, so you can see whether your plan is realistic. Your Must Do Today list holds a maximum of 10 tasks. That limit is intentional. When everything is a priority, nothing is. Finish all 10? Only then add more. FOCUS Tap Focus to start a countdown timer for a task. No distractions. No task switching. Just the work in front of you. When you finish, mark it complete. FASTER tracks your estimated time against your actual time, helping you plan more accurately and work more deliberately. FUTURE TO-DOS Everything that matters, but not today, goes here. Work. Home. Personal. Other. Four simple buckets. One trusted place. Capture it. Clear it from your mind. Move on. Your brain is for thinking, not for storing reminders. THAT’S THE APP. No project boards. No tags. No integrations. No bloated system to maintain. FASTER is deliberately simple because complicated productivity systems often create more friction than progress. Your data stays on your device and backs up through your phone’s built-in cloud. No accounts. No passwords. No servers tracking what you do. FASTER is the companion app to the book by Jeff Morris, a lawyer and executive coach who helps busy people regain control of their day. The app is free. The book shows you how to use the system fully. If other productivity apps have left you feeling organized but still behind, FASTER is different. It does not promise that you will get everything done. It helps you finish what matters. FASTER is for busy people, like freelancers, professionals, parents, students, and anyone who wants to regain control of their day. Your day is finite. Make it count.
