Refill
Read full descriptionHide full description
Refill helps you see the small recurring things that are easy to forget because they are not urgent yet. Instead of building another checklist, create glass orbs that slowly drain as time passes. A full orb can wait. A low orb needs attention. An empty orb means it is time. Use Refill for the quiet things that repeat: watering plants, changing filters, washing sheets, practicing guitar, checking the fridge, calling someone, or any routine you want to keep visible without adding another calendar. When the work is done, press and hold to refill the orb. That deliberate reset keeps each completion intentional. Refill works best for repeat upkeep, not endless task lists. It helps the next small thing stay visible until it is done. Privacy Policy: https://refill.300990.xyz/privacy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Wick

Some timers just count your minutes. Wick turns focus into a ritual you actually want to return to. Light a candle, name one honest intention, and begin. A little candle burns beside you while you work โ put the phone face down, and the flame holds the time for you. When the session ends, you've made something real. MAKE FOCUS A RITUAL Choose Pomodoro, Flowtime, or a plain timer, then step into a warm candle room โ no angry red numbers, no pressure. Just you and the next stretch of deep work. GUARD THE HOUR Turn on the Shield and Wick keeps distracting apps behind a gentle wall while you focus โ a breath of friction, never a cage. There's always an exit for you. ONE HONEST INTENTION A DAY Skip the endless to-do list. Name what matters, give it your full flame, and let the rest wait its turn. ONLY COUNTS THE FIRE THAT WAS REAL Wick logs the focus you truly gave โ nothing padded, nothing faked. Watch small flames add up on your almanac, one focused day at a time, and keep a streak worth keeping. YOURS ALONE No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Everything runs on your device. Wick is free to use. Wick Pro is a one-time purchase โ no subscription โ that unlocks deep-guard mode, candle skins, ambient sounds, and more themes.
