Tabbe helps you stay thoughtful about the people in your life. After a meeting, coffee, or chance encounter, start a session and describe what happened—by voice or by typing. Tabbe builds and updates profiles so details do not live in scattered notes or memory alone. CAPTURE INTERACTIONS Record sessions when they are fresh. Speak naturally or write it out; Tabbe keeps the conversation structured and tied to the right person. KNOW YOUR PEOPLE Browse everyone you have logged, open a profile, and see context from past sessions in one place—so follow-ups feel informed, not awkward. ASK TABBE Wondering when you last talked to someone or what you discussed? Ask in plain language and get answers drawn from what you have saved—with optional read-aloud responses when you want to listen instead of read. SEE IT ON THE CALENDAR Important dates and plans surface on a calendar view, so commitments and touchpoints are easier to spot at a glance. BUILT FOR REAL RELATIONSHIPS Whether you are networking, staying close to friends, or juggling professional contacts, Tabbe is a simple way to remember names, context, and what comes next—without another complicated system.

Do the thing, then scroll. Habits First is the most effective way to reduce your screen time - distracting apps stay blocked until your habits are done for the day. No accounts required and no subscriptions, forever. Willpower shouldn’t cost a monthly fee. HABITS SUPPORTED - Walk 10,000 steps, or any number you like - Work out 45 minutes - integrates with Apple Watch, WHOOP, Garmin, Oura, or any tracker - Meditate 10 minutes, from Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer, or any meditation app - Use an app you pick: read or use Duolingo for 20 minutes - Built in Pomodoro timer or manual habit check off - Review your Anki flashcards (Habits Pro) - Listen or read books on Audiobookshelf (Habits Pro) - Finish a game on Chess.com (Habits Pro) - Apple Shortcuts automations (Habits Pro) - More coming A block can ask for one habit, all of them, or any two of three. HOW IT WORKS Habits are automatically tracked via integrations such as with Apple Health. Apps you select are blocked until you finish your habits. When you're done, open the app to activate your unlock. WHY IT WORKS The idea is based off the Premack Principle - things you do often can help reinforce things that you do rarely. By habit stacking a difficult habit before an app you often use, you also hijack the addictive nature of distracting apps and turn that motivation towards your daily habits. WHEN IT APPLIES All day until your habits are done, on a schedule, only in certain places, or near a device you pick. Habits First helps you wake up into a calm phone screen, only unlocked after you finish your most important habits of the day. PRICING This app will never have a subscription fee. The core app is free forever: Apple Health goals, app timers, schedules, places, commitment locks, widgets, and as many blocks as you like. One small one-time purchase adds the extra integrations. More will be added in the future (feel free to request them SYNCING You can make an account if you would like to sync your habits and blocks across devices. This is not required.
