Task Chart is a planner app where your plan is written on one big sheet of paper. ■ One sheet Goals and tasks live together on a single sheet, nothing abbreviated. The phone screen is a window onto that paper. Pinch to zoom, pick a task up with your finger and rearrange it — you see where everything will settle before you let go. ■ Day by day Tap a cell and record the day in one stroke — a check, or a number. The row and the day light up in a quiet cross. Past days turn like a scroll under your finger. ■ Quiet by design No advertising. No tracking (only anonymous usage counts, which you can turn off in Settings). No badges, no streaks, no flames. Just paper and ink. ■ What you write is yours The notebook is stored on your device only, and you can export it to a file at any time. If you stop subscribing, everything you wrote stays readable. Nothing becomes unreadable. ■ About the subscription Writing — creating and editing tasks and records — requires the Task Chart subscription (US$0.99/month or US$11.99/year; prices vary by region). Reading and exporting are free without one. The first 14 days are free for new subscribers. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the free period ends, your Apple ID is charged for the period you chose, and it renews automatically until you cancel. You can cancel any time in iPhone Settings. If you purchased the earlier paid version, please contact support.

About

Steady

Features
Read full description

Steady is a calm, reliable companion for neurospicy brains — ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, or just easily overwhelmed. When a task feels like too much and you can't start, Steady breaks “everything” down into one small, doable first step. No accounts. No clutter. No shame. NINE TOOLS FOR A NEURODIVERGENT DAY • Magic To-Do — turn any task into clear, ordered steps you can actually start. Break a step down further, add as many tasks as you like, check them off. Dial the detail from a few big steps to lots of tiny ones. • Just Start — a gentle focus mode that shows ONE step at a time with a calm timer. You only have to begin. • Brain-dump — pour out the mental clutter by typing or speaking; get back a clean, organized to-do list. • Formalizer — rewrite a message in a kinder, clearer, more confident tone. Your original is always kept safe. • Tone Reader — paste a message you received for a gentle, tentative read of what it might mean, plus a reply you could send. • Time Estimator — beat time blindness with an honest time range for any task. • Recipe Helper — simple meals from whatever's already in your kitchen, low-effort mode included. • Explain Anything — clear, plain-language explanations for when dense text won't stick. • Decision Helper — talk through a choice with calm pros and cons and a gentle suggestion. BUILT FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN ACTUALLY WORKS • Overwhelmed? One tap for a calmer moment and one tiny next step. • Adjustable tone — gentle, neutral, cheerleader, or direct. You choose the voice. • Personal context — tell Steady about your energy and sensitivities once, and every result quietly fits you. • Voice input — speak instead of type, anywhere. • Read-aloud — hear any result in a warm, natural voice. ACCESSIBILITY THAT'S ACTUALLY USEFUL • Dyslexia-friendly OpenDyslexic font and extra letter spacing. • Low-stimulation mode that mutes motion and haptics. • Full Spanish, French, and German — the whole app, not just the answers. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE BY DESIGN • Your tasks and notes stay on your device. • In cloud mode, your text is never stored and never used to train AI. • On-device only mode runs every tool right on your phone — no connection needed. • Optional on-device AI model for full offline use, plus Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones. RELIABLE WHEN YOUR BRAIN ISN'T No sign-ups, no nagging. Everything autosaves and survives, with undo and redo, so Steady is there on the hard days. PRICING Free to use every day. Steady Pro unlocks unlimited use of every tool — $1.59/month (cancel anytime) or a one-time $19.99 lifetime purchase.
