Catchyt
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your mental inbox for the day. Catchyt is the one place where your agenda, fleeting ideas, and tasks on hold coexist, without friction, without complexity. Not a task manager. Not a note-taking app. Something in between, and far simpler than both. Three objects. That’s all. AGENDA Your iCal events for the day, synced in real time. See what’s coming, add what’s missing, without leaving the app. CAPTURED A fleeting idea. A link you don’t want to lose. A photo of a receipt. Drop it here before it disappears. Text, links, images. Catchit accepts everything, asks nothing. ON HOLD Not a task you can schedule. Not a note. Just something you need to do, when the budget is right, when someone replies, when you find the time. It stays visible every day until it’s done. Why Catchyt ? Because you’re tired of switching between five apps just to stay on top of your day. Because the perfect productivity system is the one you actually use. Because sometimes you just need to drop it somewhere safe and move on. Catchyt is your digital catch-all tray. It holds the weight so you don’t have to. One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. Yours forever. https://catchytapp.com/privacy.html
Arc

Arc is a day planner built around one idea: your whole day fits on a single circle. Midnight sits at the top and time runs clockwise, just like a clock you already know how to read. Your routine sits on the inside ring, your calendar wraps around the outside, and the weather sits alongside. One look and you are caught up. Nothing to scroll through, nothing to dig for. YOUR ROUTINE, ON THE INSIDE Block out the things that repeat: sleep, work, exercise, downtime. Each one gets its own colour, so your whole week is easy to read at a glance. Set it once and it is there every day. Late nights are handled properly, so a bedtime after midnight still lands on the right night. YOUR CALENDAR, ON THE OUTSIDE Arc shows the events already on your phone, laid out around the edge of your day. Add or change an event in Arc and your calendar updates too. No extra account, and nothing to keep in sync yourself. THE WEATHER, ALL AROUND See the forecast right beside your plans, so you know what to expect before you head out. Use your location or pick any city. A HOME-SCREEN WIDGET THAT STAYS CURRENT Put your whole day on your home screen. The widget keeps itself up to date, even overnight, so a single glance tells you what is happening now and what is coming next. No app to open. YOUR DAY STAYS YOURS Most planners send your calendar off to a company's servers. Arc does not. Your routine, your settings and your calendar all stay on your phone, where they belong. There is no sign-up and no login. Nothing sits online to be leaked or handed over. Open Arc and your day is already on the dial. FEATURES . A 24-hour circular view of your entire day . Recurring routine blocks with custom colours for sleep, work, exercise, leisure and more . Two-way sync with the calendar already on your phone . Live weather by location or by city . A native home-screen widget for iOS . Correct handling for sleep and late nights across midnight . No account, no sign-up, and no data sent to us . Works fully on your device
