Markday vs Curb

Mark the days that matter. Markday is a Lock Screen and Home Screen countdown widget that quietly counts the days until what matters most — birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, trips, exam dates, and personal milestones. Beautifully native to iOS. Quiet by design. No clutter. No urgency colors flashing at you. No endless calendar grid to scroll through. Just the day count, presented quietly. Add an event in seconds, pick a category and an icon, and watch the days count down on a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget that respects your wallpaper, your battery, and your attention. Why people choose Markday - Calm, modern design that feels at home on iOS 17 and later, on iPhone and iPad - Multi-event dashboard, sorted by what is closest, with custom group labels you create yourself - Quiet, human-written notifications you can set for one week, two weeks, three weeks, one month, two months, or six months ahead - Yearly auto-rollover for birthdays, anniversaries, and other recurring days, so the next year is always ready - Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets that update when the day changes, not when an ad refreshes - Optional iCloud sync to keep countdowns aligned across your iPhone and iPad - Light and dark mode with a manual override, full Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver from the first day - Available in English, Turkish, French, Spanish, German, and European Portuguese Privacy you can verify Markday collects no personal data. There are no analytics, no advertising trackers, no third-party servers, and no account to create. When iCloud sync is on, your countdowns sync only to your private CloudKit database — nobody at Markday can read them. The app works fully offline. If you opt in, Markday can read birthdays and selected events from your Calendar so you do not have to retype them, and it can also push your countdowns back into Calendar so they appear alongside the rest of your schedule. You stay in control of what comes in and what goes out. Markday Pro Most people will be happy on the standard tier.

Curb slows your iPhone or iPad's internet speed on-device — to save mobile data, beat doomscrolling, or test your apps on a bad connection. Everything runs locally. No accounts, no servers, no analytics. SAVE YOUR MOBILE DATA Streaming, autoplay and background sync quietly burn through a data plan. Put a ceiling on how fast data-hungry apps can pull, and a heavy video stream settles for a lighter quality on its own. • Cap video and streaming bandwidth so you stay under your monthly data allowance • Throttle just social media and video on mobile data, while maps, messaging and banking stay full speed • Stretch a limited or pay-as-you-go plan further, and avoid bill shock when roaming abroad • Set a gentle limit once and forget it — no per-app meters to babysit FOCUS AND DIGITAL WELLBEING Speed is a habit. Make the feeds that pull you in feel slow, and the urge to scroll fades. • Slow down social media, video and streaming while keeping the rest of your connection usable • Choose what to throttle: Everything, Only these (focus mode — slow just a chosen list), or All except these (keep the essentials fast) • Toggle ready-made bundles for Social media, Video and streaming, and News, or add your own domains • Make endless scrolling tedious enough to put the phone down FOR DEVELOPERS AND QA Test how your app behaves on a bad connection without leaving your desk. Curb is an on-device alternative to a desktop network link conditioner, shaping real traffic on the device itself. • Simulate real networks with one tap: 2G EDGE, 3G, 4G LTE, DSL, Bad Wi-Fi and Satellite • Set custom download and upload bandwidth • Add latency, jitter and packet loss to reproduce flaky conditions • Adjust bandwidth live while the tunnel runs — no reconnect needed • Watch a real-time throughput chart with current rates plus session totals HOW IT WORKS Curb uses a local packet-tunnel built on Apple's Network Extension. Your traffic is shaped on the device and never leaves it for any server of ours. There is nothing to sign in to. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • 100% on-device — no Curb servers • No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics • Nothing about your browsing is collected or shared EDITABLE PRESETS AND LIVE CONTROL Every preset is fully editable. Tune download and upload speed, latency, jitter and packet loss, then save your own. Switch between presets instantly, and nudge the limits while a session is live to find the exact feel you want. DESIGNED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD A clean, native, universal app with light and dark themes. Note: Curb configures a local VPN profile on your device to shape traffic. This VPN stays on-device and is never used to route your data through external servers.
