Tendify keeps track of the things a calendar was never built for. The water filter gets changed "every month or so." The plants get watered "when they look thirsty." You call your parents "regularly." None of it fits in a calendar — so it slips. Tendify watches the one thing that matters here: how long it's been. • Every item shows the time since you last did it • Set how often it should happen: it turns amber as the day nears, red once you're late • One tap marks it done and the count starts over • Widgets on both screens, a Control Center button, Apple Watch, Siri and Shortcuts • Reminders, if you want them Everything above is free, and stays free. The "In-App Purchases" line on this page is a tip jar: a coffee, a burger or a pizza for the developer, if the app earned it. It unlocks nothing, because nothing here is locked. No subscriptions, no account. No account, and no server of ours: your list lives on your device. iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch stay in step through your own iCloud, which we cannot see into.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tendify at none against Inkcode's 2. Tendify also leads on device support (5 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
