QLoop is built for recurring reminders on any scheduleβso you can remember the little things and build habits. Create Qs (Cues) that βloopβ automatically until you pause them or they reach an end condition. Choose a simple repeat (like every 45 minutes) or a calendar schedule (at a specific time). SCHEDULING THAT FITS REAL LIFE β’ Two modes: time-based repeat and calendar-based β’ Time-based repeat: any number of minutes, hours, days, or weeks (ex: every 45 minutes) β’ Calendar recurrence: hourly, daily, weekly (select multiple days), monthly (pick a day of month) β’ Pause & resume any Q anytime β’ Automatic scheduling so your Qs keep repeating without extra setup β’ End conditions (Premium): stop after a certain number of completions (tapping Done) or stop on a date β’ NEW FREE FEATURE: Set an active window for Qs with intervals of 30 minutes or more. Example: Every 1 hour, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM β’ NEW PREMIUM FEATURE: Edit a Q to enable completion tracking. A colored bar will appear on the Q showing completions for the last two weeks. When Qs are marked as done from the notification, the tracker is updated and the colors in the bar become less transparent. Tap on the bar to view all completion history in two-week blocks. Tap on an individual square to view counts. NOTIFICATIONS THAT DO MORE THAN βPINGβ β’ Actions right on the notification: Snooze (5 min), Pause, Done β’ Snooze appears only when your repeat is longer than 5 minutes β’ Tap a notification to open the Q for quick editing β’ Built to respect iOS scheduling limits β youβll get a clear alert if your schedule is full β’ NEW FREE FEATURE: Set the snooze length per Q. Free includes up to 5 active Qs. Upgrade to Premium to unlock: β’ Unlimited active Qs (Cues) β’ Collections to group Qs together β’ End conditions (Premium) β’ Custom colors and icons β’ Custom sounds with in-app preview β’ Restore purchases support Privacy: QLoop is local-first β no account required. Notes: Notification scheduling is managed by iOS, which limits how many notifications can be pending at once. QLoop will warn you when the schedule is full.

Six data points. One question: is there a trend? LittlePlotter gives you a fast, beautiful answer. Type your values, swipe through eight curve types, and share a clean chart β in the time it takes to unlock your phone. No spreadsheet. No setup. No noise. EIGHT FITS, ONE SWIPE AWAY LittlePlotter covers the curves you actually reach for: β’ Line Segments β connect your points exactly as they are β’ Cubic Spline β smooth interpolation through every data point β’ Linear, Quadratic, Cubic β least-squares polynomial fits β’ Exponential, Logarithmic, Power Law β for data that grows or compresses nonlinearly The fitted equation is shown directly on the chart. If a fit can't be computed β wrong domain, too few points β the chart explains why. DESIGNED FOR SPEED The chart fills the entire screen. A single button opens the data table; edit your values and the chart updates live behind the sheet. Swipe left and right to move between fits, up and down to switch between fit families. Your data is saved automatically so you pick up exactly where you left off. SHARE-READY OUTPUT One tap exports a clean, high-resolution chart to your Photos. Press and hold for more: share via AirDrop, Messages, or any app, or copy directly to the clipboard.

If you've ever opened a spreadsheet just to plot six numbers, this was made for you.

The clearest difference is update cadence: QLoop at every 2 months against LittlePlotter's every 5 months. QLoop also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
