About

Tenets

Features
Read full description

Most planning tools optimise for output. Tenets starts with your values โ€” and works backwards to what your year should actually look like. Tenets is a private, on-device life planning tool for people who want to live deliberately, not just productively. VALUES FIRST Before you plan a single goal, Tenets asks what your life stands for. Three reflective questions โ€” with on-device Apple Intelligence to suggest values if you want the help โ€” become the three to five principles everything else serves. Every domain you plan links back to a value, so your year is grounded in what matters, not just what's measurable. ANNUAL OKRS FOR YOUR LIFE Domains replace teams. Objectives stay ambitious. Key results stay honest. The framework that runs great organisations, applied to the one project that actually matters. A guided wizard proposes a full year structure in minutes โ€” you decide what stays. A WEEKLY PULSE Ninety seconds. Energy level, a theme, values alignment, a short note โ€” typed or dictated. The compound effect of staying honest with yourself, week by week. The dashboard tells you when a pulse is due; the widget keeps your progress on your desk. A MONTHLY REVIEW Rate each key result, then talk it through with the council โ€” four on-device AI personas (the Auditor, the Scientist, the Witness, the Philosopher) that read your actual data and ask the questions a good coach would. Every review becomes a written record you can revisit. A LONG VIEW Time Machine shows year-over-year trends, monthly activity heatmaps, and key result history โ€” the shape of your years, not just the last 30 days. IN SYNC, PRIVATELY Your plan follows you โ€” Mac, iPhone, iPad โ€” synced through your own private iCloud. No account with us, no server of ours, no analytics. All AI runs on-device with Apple Intelligence (macOS 26 / iOS 26; every feature has a full manual path without it). Works fully offline without iCloud, and your data is exportable as plain JSON at any time. BUILT FOR THE KEYBOARD โŒ˜K jumps to any domain, objective, or key result. โŒ˜1โ€“โŒ˜5 switch views. โŒ˜N logs a pulse, โŒ˜โ‡งR starts a review, โŒ˜Z undoes. Deliberate planning at the speed of thought. Now on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

About

Inkoum

Read full description

Inkoum is a calm, all-in-one productivity app that brings your tasks, notes, calendar, habits, goals, and focus sessions into a single, unified flow โ€” so you stop juggling five different apps just to plan your day. Everything lives together and works together. A task can carry a due date, a reminder, a checklist, and a project. A calendar event can turn into a focus session. A habit streak feeds directly into your weekly review. Nothing is disconnected. WHY INKOUM - One flow, not five apps โ€” tasks, notes, calendar, habits, goals, and a focus timer, all in one place - Fully offline by default โ€” your data lives on your device, no account required to start - Calm, distraction-free design โ€” built for daily use, not to maximize your screen time - Fast capture โ€” get a thought out of your head and into the app in seconds FEATURES Tasks & Lists Create tasks with priorities, due dates, checklists, and recurring schedules. Organize them into projects and quick lists for anything from groceries to packing lists. Notes Write notes that stay tidy and searchable, with attachments when you need them. Calendar See tasks, events, and reminders together in one calendar โ€” no more switching between your task manager and your calendar app. Focus Timer A built-in focus/Pomodoro timer to help you protect blocks of deep work, with session history so you can see where your time actually goes. Habits & Goals Track habits with streaks, and connect your daily habits to longer-term goals, so the small stuff visibly adds up to the big stuff. Whiteboard Sketch out ideas, plans, or diagrams on a simple whiteboard, right inside the same app. Reminders Gentle, on-device reminders for tasks and standalone items, scheduled locally rather than routed through a server. Insights & Reviews See your progress over time โ€” completed tasks, habit consistency, and focus time โ€” so you can adjust instead of guessing. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Inkoum works fully offline by default. Your tasks and notes stay on your device unless you explicitly turn on optional cloud sync. We don't sell your data and we don't use it for advertising. Whether you're planning your week, tracking a habit, or just trying to get your thoughts out of your head, Inkoum is built to be the one calm place you keep coming back to.
