Your intentions, anchored where you canβt miss them.

Just a calm, glanceable anchor for what matters right now. WHY IT WORKS Out of sight is out of mind. An Anchor keeps your task visible with a color, an icon, a live countdown, and a subtle animation β the kind of persistent, ambient cue that actually changes behavior instead of buzzing once and disappearing. WHAT YOU CAN DO β’ Live Activities β watch an Anchor and its countdown live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. β’ Home Screen & Control widgets β start your favorite Anchors in a single tap. β’ Walk-away failsafe β set an on-device geofence and get a time-sensitive alert if you leave before youβre done. Perfect for the oven, the laundry, a parking meter, or a child in the car. β’ Countdown timers with early warnings β a heads-up before time runs out, not just after. β’ One-tap parking β launch Pango, CelloPark, ParkMobile, or EasyPark with a live timer already running. β’ Ready-made templates β medication, EV charging, deep-focus sessions, baby feeds, watering plants, the oven, laundry, tea, hydration, naps, and more. β’ Make it yours β pick the icon, color, duration, and animation for every Anchor. β’ Accessibility built in β color-blind-friendly palettes and full support for six languages (English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, German, Korean). BUILT FOR People with a lot on their mind β parents, students, people with ADHD, shift workers, cooks, EV drivers, and anyone whoβs ever walked away from something they meant to finish. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your location never leaves your device β geofencing is handled entirely on-device to power local reminders. No ad tracking. No analytics profiles.

Disclaimer of Liability: CognitiveAnchor provides reminders and location-based alerts for convenience and general productivity only. It is **not** a safety, security, medical, or child-monitoring device and must not be relied upon for those purposes. Notifications and geofence alerts depend on your deviceβs power, connectivity, permissions, and operating-system state, and may be delayed or may not be delivered. Always use appropriate professional judgment and dedicated safety equipment for medication, cooking, childcare, driving, and any situation where a missed reminder could cause harm. Location data is processed on-device for these reminders and is not collected by the developer.
