About

To Do List

Features
Read full description

Dumb Calendar is a productivity app that helps you plan your week in the most non-distracting way possible. It achieves this goal by limiting your view to one week at a time and clearly dividing each day into a limited amount of tasks. Our calendar / to-do list has all the essential features you would need: you can copy the same task for multiple weeks using 1-month or 3-month repeats, you can satisfyingly toggle tasks you've already completed, and you can fly through your list with intuitive keyboard navigation. Plus, using Review Mode, you can motivate yourself to do more by automatically highlighting days you've done nothing. Feel free to leave your reviews and suggestions. We are a small team, but we would gladly implement community-favored features into future releases.

About

Recall

Features
Read full description

Recall is a personal memory app for iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac. Speak, type, or snap a moment โ€” Recall files it away with the place and time it happened. CAPTURE HOWEVER YOU WANT โ€ข Voice โ€” tap to record, see your words transcribed live on screen โ€ข Text โ€” type a quick note when you can't talk โ€ข Photo โ€” snap with the camera or pick from your library TAGGED WITH PLACE AND TIME Every memory carries the location, address, and the moment it happened. Browse a Map view to see where you've been thinking. When you add an old photo, Recall offers to use the photo's date and original GPS instead of your current spot โ€” so memories from the past land in the right place on the map. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI AND APPLE WATCH Say "Hey Siri, save to Recall" from iPhone, Apple Watch, or HomePod โ€” your iPhone files the memory away even while the app is asleep. Override the vault inline: "Hey Siri, save to Recall in TravelLog." Capture from your Watch by voice or tap, and it syncs back to iPhone the moment it reconnects. MULTIPLE VAULTS, YOUR FOLDERS Keep work, travel, and ideas in separate vaults. Vaults are just folders โ€” yours to organize. Link any folder from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or your Mac's iCloud Drive, and your memories land where you want them. YOUR FILES, NOT OURS Every memory is a plain Markdown file with YAML frontmatter โ€” open it in Obsidian, Apple Notes, any text editor, or just Finder. There's no proprietary database, no lock-in, and your vault folder IS the export. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY Recall has no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no accounts, and no servers we operate. Voice transcription uses Apple's on-device speech engine. Location tags only your own memories. Files live in iCloud or any folder you choose โ€” nothing is sent to us. Available on iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac. Free, no in-app purchases.
