Huala
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your routines should be easy to see before the day gets noisy. Huala is a routine calendar for habits, reminders, timed activities, and quick todos that need to happen on real days, not just fixed weekdays. Open Today to see what is next, what is already running, what is late, and what is done. Start a timed routine, finish a quick reminder, or add a short note so the day is easier to remember later. Switch to Calendar when you want the bigger picture. Browse routines by day, week, and month so habits, reminders, and todos feel anchored to an actual schedule instead of a loose list. Workday routines can adapt to holidays and adjusted workdays automatically. If a βweekdayβ is really a rest day, or a rest day becomes a workday, Huala helps your reminders follow the real schedule. Every routine can feel different. Use the default sound for simple tasks, or unlock Huala Pro to import an audio file, trim it into a notification-ready custom ringtone, and give important routines a sound you recognize instantly. Widgets keep the day visible without opening the app. Glance at the next routine, running activity, delayed reminder, completed progress, and current streak from the Home Screen. Local notifications can nudge you when a routine starts, ends, becomes delayed, or expires. Running activities can appear as Live Activities, showing elapsed duration and displaying properly on the Lock Screen. Logs and statistics show what is working: completion progress, missed routines, streaks, and recent rhythm. It is enough feedback to adjust your day without turning your routine into a spreadsheet. Your data is saved locally first. If iCloud is available, Huala can sync routine settings and history through your private iCloud database across devices using the same Apple ID. There is no separate account system. Huala Pro unlocks custom icons, custom recurrence, custom ringtones, custom statistics ranges, and Home Screen widgets. Use Huala when a normal to-do list is too loose, a habit tracker is too generic, and you just want your daily routines to show up when life actually happens.
