About

Refill

Features
Read 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/

About

Cyclee

Features
Read full description

Recurring plans, at your pace. Cyclee is a gentle recurring task tracker and reminder for chores, routines, maintenance, self-care, and everything you do again and again. Most repeating schedules keep moving from a fixed due date. Cyclee works differently: when you mark something complete, the next cycle starts from the day you actually finished it. If a weekly cleaning task is completed two days late, the next target is seven days after that completion—not the original date. Your schedule adapts to real life, so overdue tasks do not pile up and your routine stays realistic. ■ The next date starts from completion Choose an interval in days, weeks, months, or years. Record what you finished and Cyclee automatically calculates the next target date. Finish early, finish late, or take a break—the cycle follows your pace. ■ See every task at a glance Clear statuses show whether a task is waiting, active, coming soon, due, overdue, or completed. See the path from the previous completion to the next target without memorizing dates. ■ One calendar for chores and routines Track cleaning, changing sheets, watering plants, replacing supplies, beauty and self-care, pet care, home or vehicle maintenance, appointments, and other recurring tasks in one calendar. See the previous completion, upcoming target, and actual history together so the rhythm of everyday life is easy to understand. ■ Keep a useful completion history Review when each task was completed, its selected interval, and how the actual date compared with the target. Your history can help you discover the schedule that truly works for you. ■ Reminders when they matter Choose notifications before a target, on the target date, or after it passes. Reminders can be enabled separately for each task, so Cyclee helps without becoming noisy. ■ Dynamic Island and Live Activities Follow the current status and progress toward the next target from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Availability and presentation depend on your device and iOS version. ■ Home and Lock Screen widgets Check upcoming tasks, current status, target dates, and cycle progress without opening the app. ■ Cyclee is useful for • Household chores and cleaning schedules • Habits that do not happen every day • Replacements, refills, inspections, and maintenance • Plant care, pet care, and self-care • Recurring appointments and personal routines • Anyone who wants flexible reminders instead of a strict streak Life does not always follow the plan. Some things happen early, some happen late, and sometimes you need a pause. Even when the date changes, begin again from the day it was done. From completion to the next cycle. Make recurring life feel easier with Cyclee. ABOUT AUTO-RENEWABLE SUBSCRIPTIONS This app offers premium features through an auto-renewable subscription.
