Tempus turns showing up into something you can see. Every day you complete a habit lands as a colored square on a grid - and watching that grid fill up becomes the reason you don't stop. BUILT AROUND ONE IDEA Consistency should be visible. Habits live on grids that grow with you - calendar months or a continuous view, your choice. Miss a day and you'll see the gap. Show up and you'll see that too. YOUR DAY, AT A GLANCE The Today ring closes as you complete what matters. Your calendar events wrap around a 24-hour dial, so the whole day fits in one look. Link your existing calendars - Apple, Google, or any ICS feed. 1% A DAY, COMPOUNDED Finish what you planned and the day pays about 1%. Miss it and you give a little back. Rest days cost nothing. One number tracks all of it from the day you started - and there is no limit on it. REMINDERS WITH A PERSONALITY Pick the voice that actually works on you: gentle encouragement, pure hype, or tough love. Or write three example phrases and let AI generate notifications that sound exactly like the voice in your head - at the times you choose. TEN ATMOSPHERES Light or dark, and the whole app follows. Ten palettes, from warm dusk to true black - pick the one you want to look at every day. A PERFECT MONTH FEELS LIKE THIS Tap any month to relive it, day by day. Green squares all the way down. YOU SHAPE WHAT COMES NEXT Request features and vote on what gets built. Tempus is small, independent, and built with care - your voice genuinely steers it. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 3 habits, 1 linked calendar, all core tracking. Pro: unlimited habits, unlimited calendars, custom AI reminder voices. Monthly or annual, with a free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage anytime in your App Store settings.

About

Homeshift

Homeshift is a moving inventory for iPhone and iPad. It is for anyone who is moving and does not want to search through twenty boxes to find one thing. You pack a box, photograph what went into it and stick a QR label on top. Three weeks later the boxes are standing in the new place and you are looking for the kettle. You scan the label and see straight away what is in which box. Homeshift keeps everything on your device: boxes, items and photos. The app works without an account and without an internet connection. If you are moving with somebody else, you can sign in and share the move. That part is optional. BOXES AND ROOMS • Number, title, room and note for each box • Status from Open through Packed and Arrived to Unpacked • Mark a box as fragile, attach photos • Search across every box and its contents RECORDING THE CONTENTS WITHOUT MUCH TYPING • Quick entry understands quantities: "4 plates" becomes 4x plate • Photograph the contents of a box and add the recognized items with one tap • Scan labels and printed text live with the camera • Packing suggestions that fit the room • Image recognition runs on the device. No photo leaves your iPhone. QR LABELS TO STICK ON • Print-ready labels with a QR code, box number, title and room • One scan opens the box directly in the app • All labels at once as a PDF, and you decide what goes on them TASKS WITH A TIMELINE • 58 suggestions for a move, sorted into paperwork, packing, old place, new place, moving day and afterwards • The due dates follow moving day. If the date moves, the tasks move with it • A date you set yourself stays unchanged • Task board with Backlog, Active and Done, with drag and drop on iPad NOT ONLY BOXES • Furniture list with what happens to each piece: take it along, sell it or dispose of it • Damage report for the handover, with severity, photos and PDF export • Storage for the cellar, the attic and lockups, kept apart from the move and with its own labels • AR mode that shows you the contents above every box in the room • Several moves side by side, switched with one tap MOVING TOGETHER, IF YOU WANT TO • Sign in with Apple or Google, put the move into the cloud and invite helpers by link or QR code • Changes appear on every device right away • Roles: work along, or read only • Photos are transferred only if you switch that on • You can stop sharing at any time and delete your account in the app at any time ON IPAD • A sidebar instead of a tab bar, list and detail side by side • The same data as on the iPhone EXPORT AND BACKUP • PDF manifest, CSV table or JSON archive • If you want it, syncing between your own devices through your own iCloud account, photos included and without an account with us • Widget with a countdown to moving day and your packing progress Homeshift follows the language of your device.
