“Turn wishes into progress — one realistic step at a time.“ WishLeaf is a gentle goal companion for the things you truly want to make happen. Start with a wish. WishLeaf helps you turn it into a path, find a step you can take today, and keep moving even when life doesn't go according to plan. Progress isn't about sticking to a perfect schedule. Sometimes the right next step is to do more. Sometimes it's to make the task smaller, change the plan, or simply begin again. - FROM WISH TO ACTION - Turn a long-term goal into a clear path with milestones you can actually follow. • Create your own plan, or let WishLeaf help you build one around what you want to achieve. • Bring that path into everyday life with practical steps you can take today. - HELP WHEN YOU GET STUCK - • A task feels too big? Break it down. • Not sure how to begin? Get a few practical ways to start. • Today's plan no longer makes sense? Shrink the task, reschedule it, or rethink the approach. WishLeaf uses AI behind the scenes to support your journey, so you can focus on what matters instead of figuring out the perfect prompt. - GROW AS YOU GO - Your progress doesn't disappear when you check something off. The actions you take help your plant grow, creating a visible reminder that small steps add up. Over time, completed wishes become part of your Wish Gallery — a collection of what you've worked toward and accomplished. - SEE YOUR DAY DIFFERENTLY - Turn your daily actions and reflections into beautifully crafted cards that reveal patterns, connections, and little details you may not have noticed. Each week, WishLeaf looks at your recent actions alongside your Plant Cards to offer a playful glimpse into the week ahead.

Busy B Planner is a warm, visual to-do app for people juggling everyday life. Brain-dump anything you need to remember into the Running list the moment it hits you, with no decisions required up front. Then file each task into a category, with optional subcategories, whenever you're ready, so capturing never gets in the way of doing. Add dates and times, flag what matters, repeat what comes back every week, and duplicate a task in one tap. Plan around Today and Tomorrow, and see your whole week at a glance on iPad. Everything syncs across your iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud. No account to create, no sign-up required. WHY BUSY B • Running list: capture anything, anytime, then sort it when you're ready • Capture your way: type it, say it with voice capture, or ask Siri: "Add pick up dry cleaning tomorrow to Household in Busy B." • Dates, times and reminders: including a heads-up before something is due • Today & Tomorrow views: see exactly what matters right now • Categories and subcategories: organise your way, drag and drop to arrange them, or sort alphabetically or by date added • Flag & file: swipe to flag your most important tasks or file them into a category • Repeating tasks: daily, weekly or monthly • Duplicate: copy a task, with its date, reminder, repeat and category, in one tap • iPad Command Centre: a full three-pane layout built for iPad, not a stretched iPhone app • iCloud sync: your tasks, everywhere, automatically • Nine hand-crafted themes, with dark mode BUSY B INTELLIGENCE • Daily briefing: open the app to a short, on-device read of what matters today, not just a count • One-tap filing: on-device intelligence sorts your Running list into the right categories, and you review before anything moves • Catch-up: a look at tasks you keep skipping, each with a suggested next step • Voice capture: tap the mic and just talk. Busy B adds the task with the date filled in and takes its best guess at the category Busy B Intelligence is built with Apple Intelligence. Every suggestion is generated on your device. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing trains a model. Voice capture needs iOS 26 or later, and its date and category suggestions, like the briefing, filing and catch-up, need an Apple Intelligence-capable device with Apple Intelligence turned on. The rest of Busy B works on every supported device. BUSY B PRO Try Busy B Pro free for 7 days with the yearly plan. After that, choose monthly, yearly or lifetime.
