TriggerFlo is the focus timer that runs your whole workday — track your time, manage your tasks, and bill your clients without ever leaving the app. Most timers stop when you switch apps. TriggerFlo doesn't. Its floating focus timer stays on top while you work, so a single tap keeps you accountable to the task in front of you. When the session ends, that time is already attached to the right task — and one tap away from a finished invoice. — FOCUS TIMER THAT STAYS WITH YOU — • Floating, resizable timer that lives on top of everything you do • Pomodoro-style focus sessions to beat procrastination and protect deep work • Each session links straight to the task you're working on, so nothing goes untracked • Live timer on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, plus desktop and web — TASKS & PROJECTS, NOT JUST A LIST — • Visual Kanban boards to move work from To Do to Done • Subtasks, due dates, priorities, and tags to keep projects organized • Drag-and-drop columns built for the way you actually plan your day • Team collaboration so everyone sees the same board in real time — TURN TIME INTO MONEY — • Tracked time rolls up into client-ready invoices automatically • Set hourly rates, add line items, and send a professional invoice in seconds • Perfect for freelancers, consultants, and agencies who bill by the hour • No spreadsheets, no copying timestamps, no lost billable hours — EVERYWHERE YOU WORK — • Native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, plus the web • Your timer, tasks, and invoices sync instantly across every device • Start a session on your phone, finish on your Mac — it just follows you WHY TRIGGERFLO Time tracking apps tell you where your hours went. Task managers tell you what to do next. Invoicing apps get you paid. TriggerFlo is the rare app that does all three and connects them, so the time you focus becomes the work you ship and the money you earn — automatically. Whether you're a freelancer protecting billable hours, a consultant juggling clients, or anyone who wants to stop multitasking and start finishing, TriggerFlo turns focus into flow.

Remember everything — without the effort. Note Recall is where you put anything you don't want to forget: ideas, plans, thoughts, facts, moments. Jot it down however you like — no folders, no format, no journaling habit to keep up. Note Recall organizes it for you, connects related notes, and hands the right one back the instant you need it. And you don't have to be the only one writing things down. The people who help you — family, friends, or a professional caregiver — can add notes to your app too. No account. No sign-up. No ads. No AI charges. No daily limits. CHAT WITH YOUR NOTES Ask a question in plain language and get an answer grounded in what you actually wrote, with the source notes cited. It's like having a search bar that understands you — no more scrolling to find that one thing you jotted down weeks ago. INSIGHTS THAT SURFACE ON THEIR OWN Note Recall notices recurring themes, follows up on intentions you set ("did that stick?"), and gently surfaces patterns across everything you've captured — so you see the bigger picture without doing any extra work. FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND CAREGIVERS CAN ADD NOTES FOR YOU This isn't just for professional care. A son or daughter, a spouse or partner, a sister, a neighbor, a home health aide — anyone you invite can send a note straight into your Note Recall. "The A/C repair man is coming Tuesday at 10." — added by Sarah They never need an account or a subscription — they install Note Recall, you send them one invitation, and from then on they write you a note right inside Messages, the same way they'd text you. It arrives with their name on it and works exactly like a note you wrote yourself — ask Chat about it later, and it shows up in your Insights too. You stay in charge of all of it. Every note waits for your OK before it's saved, you choose who is allowed to send, and you can remove anyone at any time. Invitations are required — a stranger can't add anything — and notes are encrypted so only your device can open them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - The AI runs entirely on your device. Your notes are never sent to us or any AI service — we don't even have servers. - No account. No sign-up. No ads. - Your notes stay on your device and, if you turn on iCloud, sync privately across your devices through your own iCloud account. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE - A home-screen widget to capture a note in a tap - Light and dark mode - Fast, offline, and yours. Chat and Insights work without Internet access. TRY BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE Turn on Demo Mode to explore Chat and Insights on a set of sample notes before you commit — no strings attached. FREE & PRO Note Recall is free for up to 10 notes. Subscribe to Note Recall Pro for unlimited notes; everything else works exactly the same. - Note Recall Pro (Annual): unlimited notes - Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Note: on first launch Note Recall downloads its on-device AI model (a one-time download over Wi-Fi). Nothing you write ever leaves your device. Requires: - iPhone 15 Pro, or any iPhone 16 or newer - iPad with an M-series or A17 Pro chip (These are the devices with the 8 GB of memory the on-device AI needs.)
