QuietSession is a discreet haptic time-boundary tool for sessions, meetings, talks, coaching calls, consultations, and focused work. It helps you keep track of time without sound, alarms, or visible interruption. Create or choose a preset on iPhone, start a session from iPhone or your paired watch, and receive quiet haptic cues on your wrist as the session approaches its end. If a conversation runs long, a gentle overtime signal repeats until you confirm — and the extra minutes are tracked in your history. QuietSession is useful for: • therapists, coaches, and counselors running client sessions • consultations and 1-on-1 meetings • interviews, presentations, and talks • focused work blocks • any situation where checking a timer would feel distracting Core features: • built-in session presets • discreet wrist haptic cues • 5 min reminder, 1 min reminder, and end signal • pause and resume a running session • optional overtime signal with overtime tracked in History • start sessions from iPhone or your paired watch • start your last preset right from the watch face (complication & Smart Stack) • Live Activity on iPhone: time left on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Lock Screen widget for one-tap start • optional notifications • quiet running screen with Invisible Mode • local session history • available in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian • no account, no ads, no tracking QuietSession Pro unlocks custom presets, custom durations, profession preset templates (Therapist, Coach, Consultant), adjustable haptic signal setup, signal intensity controls, full history calendar, and CSV export for billing and timekeeping. QuietSession is not a generic timer. It is designed for moments where time boundaries matter, but interruptions do not.

Red is a hand drawn habit tracker with real stakes. You want to adopt a red panda? Well the Matron wants real proof you can look after your own red panda. So keep your habits for 30 days and she’ll let him come home with you. Until then, he stays put. Red helps you keep track of the things you keep meaning to do, with a small, deeply concerned panda for motivation. ▶ Set daily, weekly or monthly habits. ▶ Check off your tasks and track progress towards weekly and monthly goals. ▶ Set reminders for the things you tend to forget. ▶ Earn Sad Bucks and buy fun customisations while he waits. New chairs, rugs, backgrounds. Make it weird. ▶ Negotiate with the Matron to change a habit or take a short break. You only get so many favours. ▶ Keep a family album of the pandas you’ve adopted... and the ones you haven’t. You only get three strikes, or the Matron takes him back. Hand-drawn characters, painted rooms, and a panda who would really appreciate you drinking that glass of water. Don’t let him down.
