You remember the ten o'clock meeting. Lunch. The call that ran long. But the two hours in between? At the end of the month you estimate. And because you are a decent person, you estimate against yourself. Nostora brings those hours home. One tap on play and the timer runs β€” no project to create, no client to pick, no form to fill. Time tracking never fails in week one. It fails in week three, when the tracking itself becomes the work. TWO DIRECTIONS, ONE PATH The way back records what happened β€” to the minute, no guessing. The way forward is the Day Planner. It drafts your day from what your real weeks have revealed about you. Not a wish-list calendar that collapses at five. SIX LIVES, ONE APP Tobias, student. Twenty hours of assistant work, a master's thesis, a hackathon team. On Fridays, a PDF to his boss in under a minute. The follow-up questions have stopped. The Sommer family. Three profiles on one device, each with its own colour and its own statistics. After two weeks David corrected his β€œclub business” from one hour a day to two and a half. It was a peaceful evening β€” the numbers had taken over the arguing. Marie, UX consultant. For years she gave away ten to fifteen percent of her hours. Today her rates live on the categories, the timer starts from her Apple Watch, and Fridays are for invoices. Markus, engineer. Timer off, and the worklog is on the Jira issue β€” to the minute, with his note. No server in between. Friday at 4:30 pm has lost its terror. Carla, therapist. What convinced her was not a feature but a sentence: there is no server anything is sent to. Jan, project manager. He imports his 400-line project plan and gets a planned-versus-actual comparison that carries the next quote. WHAT IS INSIDE - Unlimited timers, categories, activities, notes - Day Planner with templates for every weekday - Statistics, weekly review, PDF and CSV reports - Hourly rates, flat fees, weekly budgets - Places with automatic detection - Apple Watch, widgets, Siri, Shortcuts, calendar - Profiles with their own colour and logo - Jira integration, import of MS Project plans YOUR HOURS BELONG TO YOU No account. No sign-in. No cloud. No ads. No tracking. There is no server anything is sent to β€” there is simply no server. Where Nostora uses artificial intelligence, in the weekly review and the Day Planner, it runs on your iPhone with Apple's on-device models. WHAT IT COSTS, HONESTLY Free: up to six active tasks and two profiles. Nothing else is held back β€” timers, statistics, the weekly review, PDF and CSV reports, Apple Watch, widgets, calendar and places are all included. The limit counts active tasks only; finished ones free the slot and stay in your reports. Plus, one-time: unlimited tasks and profiles, backup across all profiles, Day Planner with suggestions and an AI draft. Pro, subscription: everything in Plus, plus the Jira integration. If you don't use Jira, you don't need Pro. Project Import, one-time: MS Project and ProjectLibre plans, planned-versus-actual reports. Independent of the rest. Anyone who bought Premium before version 5.0 keeps Plus and the Jira integration for life. Nostora β€” from nΓ³stos, the homecoming, and hora, the hour. The hours are not gone. They are just not home yet. Built by devForPeople, a one-person workshop in Oelde, Germany.

About

Everly

Read full description

Everly is built for things that recur at their own pace: a pill twice a day, a dog's worming tablet every 3 months, or a vehicle check-up once a year. Unlike traditional habit trackers that push for unbroken daily streaks, Everly focuses on what actually matters: knowing when your task is due and never missing the next one. KEY FEATURES: β€’ Seamless iCloud Sync: Keeps all your habits, progress, and entries in sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. β€’ Flexible Intervals: Set items to repeat every N days, weeks, months, or years. β€’ Multiple Doses per Day: Track tasks required multiple times daily (e.g. 2Γ—/day). β€’ Rolling Schedule: Tick late and the next due date automatically shifts from the day you completed it. β€’ Smart Reminders: Notifications fire only on the days tasks are actually due, or a few days before as a heads-up, and the grid marks the day each one will come. β€’ Visual Progress Grid: Scrollable matrix shows your history, completed days, covered intervals, and upcoming due dates. β€’ Interactive Widgets: Check off tasks right from your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Mac Desktop. β€’ Year-at-a-Glance: Detailed breakdown of your activity over the entire year. β€’ Folders & Color Customization: Group habits into folders and assign custom color themes. β€’ Private & Secure: Your habits and notes sync through your own iCloud and stay strictly yours. Only anonymous usage counts are sent, never your content.
