Ringround vs EveryJot

Okay, real talk: where does the time go? You sit down for "five minutes," look up, and somehow it's dark out. You know you've got stuff to do — you just can't feel how much time is left, or which thing to start first. When your brain doesn't do time, a to-do list won't save you. It's just more stuff to lose track of. Ringround shows your whole day as a circle you can actually see. Your day becomes a 24-hour dial. NOW sits at the top, the day turns underneath, and one glance tells you where you are and how long until the next thing. Time stops being invisible. What it does: • See your day at a glance — colorful blocks on a ring, not a wall of text. • Can't pick what to do? Hit Ring Round — give the dial a spin and let it choose for you. Decision made, no spiral. • Put your day on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — a calm cylinder fills with color so you can check the time without falling into your phone. • Gentle nudges before things start. Optional. Never shouty. • Your colors, your categories, your names for things. Make it yours. Made for brains that lose time. ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, time-blind, or just perpetually "five minutes behind" — this one's for you. Ringround doesn't try to fix you or optimize you. You're not a productivity project. It just makes time something you can see, so the day stops slipping out from under you. No accounts. No ads. No subscriptions or upsells nagging you forever. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Your day's right there. It's a circle. Go take a look.

EveryJot is for writing something down before you forget it, with as little friction as possible. It opens ready to write, with the keyboard already open and the cursor in place. No forms to fill in, no title to invent: the first line becomes the title by itself. MARKDOWN, WITH A BAR YOU CHOOSE Headings, bold, italic, underline, highlight, strikethrough, quotes, lists, checklists, code blocks, links and alignment. Five formats sit above the keyboard: you pick which five out of thirteen and you reorder them by dragging. The rest stay one tap away in the panel, so none of them is lost. NOTEBOOKS AND TAGS, TO FIND THINGS AGAIN Every note can belong to a notebook and carry as many tags as you like. Your library shows them all, sorts them the way you prefer, filters them by notebook and by tag and searches inside the text. Notes with an unfinished checklist appear in "To finish" by themselves and leave it when you tick the last box. The trash keeps what you delete for thirty days. PROTECTED NOTES, GENUINELY ENCRYPTED A protected note is not a note hidden behind a screen: its content is encrypted with AES-GCM and the key is derived from a PIN you choose. Anyone opening the database or the iCloud container would find ciphertext, not your words. They open with Face ID, Touch ID or your PIN, whichever you prefer. The key syncs with your account, so a protected note can be read on your second iPhone too. RECORD A MEETING INSIDE THE NOTE The microphone is right next to the text you are writing: tap it and recording begins, even with the screen locked. Up to one hour and forty-nine minutes per recording. The clip is attached to the note, next to the notes you typed during the recording. When you need it, one tap shares or exports it, so you can listen elsewhere or have it transcribed. ATTACHMENTS Images, PDFs, documents, any file up to 25 MB: attach it to the note and open it again with the iOS preview, without leaving the app. Attachments follow the note to iCloud and if the note is protected they are encrypted like the text. Recordings included: there is no separate path for audio. REMINDERS, SHARING, EXPORT Link a note to a system reminder and find it in Apple's Reminders app, with its notification and with the text of the note already inside. Change the note and the reminder realigns by itself. Share a note as a PDF or as a Markdown file, or export it as an image or a Word document. From your library you can export several notes at once. A .md file arriving from Mail or Files opens with EveryJot and becomes a note straight away. SHORTCUTS Touch and hold the icon on your Home Screen to write a new note, start a recording or search your notes, without going through the app. A new note also opens from Control Centre, from the Action button, with a double tap on the back of your iPhone, or by asking Siri. There is an iMessage extension too: pick a note and send it without leaving the conversation. FORTY-FIVE COMBINATIONS Fifteen colour palettes and three visual styles that combine with each other: the classic card, translucent glass, two-colour print. The icon on your Home Screen follows the palette you pick. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No account to create, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your notes stay on your iPhone and sync with your own iCloud: whoever wrote the app cannot see them and has no way to. If you want, you can lock the whole app with Face ID, Touch ID or your phone passcode. ALSO - Italian and English - Works offline and syncs when the connection returns - Large tap targets and text that holds up at large sizes Free, no in-app purchases.
