Caddy vs KeyAlarm

Caddy is your personal text library for mobile. Save the messages, numbers, and templates you reuse — organized, labeled, and instantly copyable. Build your text library Add the texts you reach for constantly — your name, email, phone number, address, common replies, IDs, instructions, and more. Tap the + button to add a new bit. Caddy keeps your whole library organized and always at hand. Templates that fill in the blanks Turn any bit into a template with fill-in variables. Write {name} for a free-text prompt, or {plan:Monthly;Annual} to offer quick-tap suggestion chips — Caddy asks for each variable once, then drops your answers right into place. Templates carry a distinct icon and border so they stand out from regular bits at a glance. Sorted by how you use it Your bits are ranked by how often you access them, so the bits you rely on most float to the top automatically. The more you use a bit, the bigger its pill grows — making it even faster to spot and tap. Pin anything to the very top for permanent instant access. Search in an instant A persistent search bar lets you filter your entire collection by text content or label in real time. Find any bit in seconds, no matter ho Label and color-code anything Long-press any bit to edit it: pick a color tag from a curated palette, add a short label to remind yourself what it's for, toggle pin, or delete it. Keep your bits organized by project, client, topic — whatever works for you. Works entirely offline Caddy stores everything locally on your device. No internet connection required. When you're back online, your bits sync automatically across all your iOS devices via iCloud — no extra account needed beyond your Apple ID. Clean, purposeful design Bits appear as compact pills in a flowing layout. Long text displays with middle ellipsis (start…end) so you always see both the beginning and the end of a bit at a glance. Up to 500 bits, each up to 5,000 characters. Subscription Caddy is available by subscription: • Monthly: $0.99/month • Annual: $9.99/year • 3-day free trial — no charge until the trial ends Payment is billed to your Apple ID.

"Wait — that was today?" By the time you realise, it's over. The online lesson. The dentist. Your kid's school visit. The form that had to be in by Friday. It was in your calendar the whole time. The notification came and went while your phone was face down on the table. KeyAlarm is for the appointments you cannot miss. ■ Add the keyword once. That's it. Type "lesson" and set it for 30 minutes before. From then on, every event with "lesson" in the title gets a real alarm — this week, next month, forever. You never set another one by hand. Three kids and a different activity every day? One rule covers all of them. ■ A real alarm, not a notification KeyAlarm uses the same system alarms as the built-in Clock app. It rings on silent. It rings in Focus. It keeps ringing until you reach over and stop it. That is the whole point — a notification you can sleep through is not a reminder. ■ One to get ready. One to leave. A single keyword can ring more than once. Thirty minutes before to start getting ready, five minutes before to actually walk out the door. Two alarms, one rule. ■ Or take a whole calendar Have a calendar just for your kid's activities? Skip keywords entirely and set an alarm for every event in it, whatever it says. ■ See that it's set Open the Scheduled tab and every upcoming alarm is right there with its time. No wondering whether it worked. Don't need one of them? Swipe it away, or tap the × on the Lock Screen countdown. ■ Your calendar stays yours KeyAlarm has no servers. Your events are read on your iPhone and never leave it. No account, no sign-in, nothing to opt out of. ■ Free for 30 days, then a one-time purchase No subscription. Pay once, keep it. And if the trial runs out, alarms you already set keep ringing — only new ones stop being added. An app like this should never go quiet because of billing. Requires iOS 26 or later. Works with any calendar your iPhone syncs, including Google, Outlook, and iCloud. Website and user guide: https://ltng.jp/apps/keyalarm/en
