Welcome to the No-Deadline Zone TickMeOff is planning made for creatives who prefer to flow over deadline guilt. Create your space based on your personal context and areas of interest, and start jotting down all your ideas whenever they arise. In TickMeOff, planning is not a “due date” action, but an evolution. You have the spark, the project evolves, and when you are ready, it can just start. No reshuffling a bunch of scheduled tasks. And that website you want to check out later or the photo you need for a project can all be shared to the app and become projects or searchable references. Meeting notes or written ideas can easily be processed into projects or tasks using Apple Intelligence–powered features* like Plan mode and Refine Project actions. Your projects and files should not be kept locked in one place. It’s your personal data. Mirror Folder allows your files to be kept in storage you trust, so you can create backups or even let your AI agents create deeper integrations. All of this with no extra account or subscription, so you are always in control. And about those cool things you want to achieve? Tick them all off. *on supported devices Full feature list: Organize - Areas & Focus Groups — group projects by context so you see only what matters, when it matters - Horizons — projects evolve from a "Maybe Someday" spark to an active goal - Stay in context — your workspace only shows what's relevant now based on your areas of interest and groups - Roles & Lenses — define your workflow by creating flexible ways to visualize your projects Capture - Share-in (WebClip & references) — share links, photos, or notes; content lands in your projects as projects or searchable references Move forward - Apple Intelligence — extract tasks from a brain-dump, suggest where an idea belongs, surface what's worth tackling next; on-device. - Smart Suggestions — a hint when you're unsure where an idea goes or what's next — never a demand - Integrated Pomodoro — a built-in timer keeps you in the zone without leaving your project - Weekly Review & GTD essentials — tools to help you plan without forcing a rigid workflow Own your data - iCloud Sync — everything in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Mirror Folder — your projects live as human-readable Markdown in a folder you control; edit them in TickMeOff, any text editor, or with AI - Total privacy — no accounts, no tracking, no data lock-in - Free first — full-featured for free, with optional "treats" to support independent development

Truly Simple Inventory was built to help you track the things you own. Whether you’re a homeowner documenting belongings for insurance purposes, a renter keeping track of personal gear, a collector bringing order to your hoard, or just someone trying to remember all those serial numbers and warranty dates, this app gives you a reliable, easy-to-use record of your possessions. It's designed to be calm, practical, and highly functional. You can easily record where each item is kept in your house, what it cost, its serial number, and safely store photos of receipts and PDFs of user manuals. There's a one-time, lifetime in-app purchase that allows for an unlimited number of items and unlocks the export tools, but you can add up to 10 items and use all the core features for free, forever. Features: • Organize items by location (Living Room, Garage, Office, etc.) and drag them between rooms. • Full item records: easily log name, make, model, serial number, and purchase price. • Attach photos of the item, along with its receipt and user manual. • Set warranty expiration dates and get automatic alerts before they run out. • Maintenance logs: track service history, dates, costs, and notes (great for appliance repairs or oil changes). • Generate an "Insurance Report" export—a clean PDF grouped by location specifically designed for home insurance claims (CSV and general PDF exports also available). • Use your camera to automatically scan and read serial numbers. • Data syncs automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud.
