Time blocking, done properly: give every hour of your day a name, a color, and a place on a real timeline — then find out where those hours actually went. Most planners hand you a list and hope for the best. A list has no width, so it never warns you that your "quick morning" is already seven hours long. TimeBlock puts your day on an hour-by-hour timeline you can see: each block sits at its real start time, at its real length, in its own color. The moment your day is overbooked, the timeline shows it — before the day starts, not after it collapses. WHAT YOU GET - A day you can actually see: blocks sit on an hour-by-hour timeline with a live "now" line, so you always know what you should be doing this minute - Realistic plans instead of wishful lists: set a start time and a duration, and an overloaded day becomes obvious at a glance - A planned day in one tap: pick Deep Work Day, Study Day, Creative Day, or Balanced Day and the whole timeline fills in - The truth about your week: donut and bar charts, a 7-day activity map, hours planned, and your most-repeated blocks - A finish rate you can defend: tick blocks off and watch your daily completion score in the Coach tab - A nudge every evening so tomorrow gets planned tonight, plus coaching on time boxing, buffer time, theme days, and strategic breaks PERFECT FOR - Deep-work professionals protecting long, uninterrupted focus windows - Students building study sessions with breaks that are planned, not accidental - Freelancers and creatives who need work, admin, and rest to coexist in one day - Anyone whose to-do list keeps growing while the day keeps disappearing WHY NOT JUST USE A TO-DO LIST OR YOUR CALENDAR? A to-do list is infinite; your day is not. A calendar is built for meetings other people booked, not for the focus time you owe yourself. TimeBlock does one job only — laying out your own hours, in color, and showing you afterwards how you really spent them. Nothing to invite, nothing to negotiate, no meeting requests in the way. PRIVACY Every block, note, and template you apply stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking. Nothing you plan ever leaves the device. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks everything in the app: unlimited time blocks, all eight block colors and per-block notes, the full day-template library, the Insights dashboard with charts and your 7-day activity map, and the Coach tab with your daily score, tips, and planning methods. Available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Open the Today tab, add your first block for tomorrow morning, and see how much day you really have.

PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Stuck on a decision? DecideMate turns "I can't choose" into a clear answer — weigh the big calls with a scored pros and cons list, and settle the small ones with a fair random pick, coin flip, or dice roll. Spinner apps leave everything to luck. DecideMate is a structured decision toolkit: four decision tools plus a private decision journal that remembers what you chose and whether it turned out to be a good call — so over time you actually get better at deciding. WHAT YOU GET • A weighted pros and cons list that ends in a verdict — lean yes, lean no, or too close to call — instead of two columns staring back at you • Type "Thai, pizza, sushi, cook at home" and get one fair answer in a tap, argument over • A true 50/50 coin flip, plus d6, d12 and d20 dice for numbered choices • Every choice lands in your journal automatically, with the reasoning that led to it • A follow-up a week later asking how it turned out — mark it a good call or a regret • Insight charts that show your personal hit rate and which tools you really decide with PERFECT FOR • Overthinkers rewriting the same pros and cons list in their head at 2 a.m. • Couples and friend groups ending the nightly "I don't know, what do YOU want to eat?" • Anyone weighing a job offer, a move or a big purchase who wants structure, not vibes • Journalers who want a record of why they chose — not just what happened WHY NOT JUST FLIP A REAL COIN? A coin settles trivial ties, but it can't weigh "higher salary" against "longer commute". DecideMate scores each reason from 1 (minor) to 5 (major), adds up both sides and shows you the margin — and unlike a wheel app, it keeps the receipt, so next year you can look back and see whether taking the leap was the right call. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your dilemmas are nobody's data. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) DecideMate Pro unlocks the complete experience: the full decision journal with outcome tracking and the Insights dashboard with your hit rate. Choose a Weekly or Yearly subscription, or pay once with Lifetime. Stop circling the same choice. Write it down, weigh it, and decide today.
