About

Leaf Reminders

Features
Read full description

Leaf is a minimal, gesture-first checklist built around a single active list. No folders, no projects, no noise — just the 10 things that actually matter today. WHY LEAF IS DIFFERENT • 10 active task cap — forces you to pick what matters instead of hoarding an endless backlog • Priority through typography — high-priority tasks UPPERCASE, medium bold, low regular. No colored tags, no clutter • Gesture-first — swipe to complete, swipe vertically to change priority, swipe sideways between lists, two-finger undo, three-finger redo • One active list at a time — a unified carousel of your Leaf lists and Apple Reminders calendars BUILT FOR APPLE • Lock Screen, Home Screen, and StandBy widgets — every family (small, medium, large, circular, rectangular, inline) • Apple Watch app with complications across every family • Live Activities that update across list switches • Apple Reminders sync, so your existing lists come with you • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac SMART ACTIVATION • Time-based rules — Leaf switches to your morning list at 8am, your shutdown list at 6pm • Focus integration — a dedicated Focus Filter switches lists when you enter Work, Personal, or any custom Focus • Location triggers — walk into the gym, Leaf opens your workout list (requires Always-on location permission) PRODUCTIVITY POLISH • Inline math — type 47+83 and Leaf evaluates on commit • Hyperlink detection with tap-to-open • Pinch-to-share as Markdown • Drag and drop plain text to import tasks • Keyboard shortcuts on Mac, including a global hot key for instant show FREE FOREVER, UNLOCK WHEN READY Leaf is free to use with up to 3 active tasks. Unlock unlimited tasks, Apple Reminders integration, and Calendar events with a one-time purchase — no subscription. Buy it once and own it. Leaf is built by a solo developer. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Just a focused list for a focused day.

About

Braain

Read full description

Braain is the shared brain for your family — an AI-powered space that remembers everything, coordinates everyone, and quietly handles the mental load no one has time for. Tell it once. It remembers forever. A soccer practice. A doctor's appointment. The babysitter's number. The Wi-Fi password. The kids' medication routine. Braain captures it, files it, and surfaces it to the right person at the right moment. WHAT BRAAIN DOES • A shared family calendar with two-way Google Calendar sync • Tasks and reminders, routed to the right person • A searchable home for notes, instructions, and household info • An AI agent that learns how your family runs — and offers to help without being asked • Proactive check-ins ("every Sunday, plan the week ahead") • Voice-first capture — just talk, Braain figures out what to do BUILT FOR HOW FAMILIES ACTUALLY WORK No more "who's picking up the kids?" group chats. No more sticky notes that disappear. No more apps that take three taps to add one thing. Braain is built around a single idea: tell the AI once, and it handles the rest. PRICING Start free. Upgrade when you need more. • Free — your whole family, basic features • Lite — add personal scheduling • Plus — full agent capabilities • Family — everything, for the whole household Built by a small team who got tired of being the family's scheduler-in-chief.
