Do. Done. Gone. Poof is a to-do app with a little magic in it. Write down what you need to do, then finish it and watch it vanish in a puff. No clutter, no guilt, no endless list staring back at you. Just today, handled. Get it done. Watch it vanish. Complete a task and it disappears in a satisfying little burst, in the finisher you pick. Every one lands on the same quick beat, and Undo is always one tap away. Finished work waits quietly in your history for as long as you choose to keep it. Write it like you'd say it. Type "hw tmr at 11" and Magic Intent fills in the rest: Homework, filed under School, due tomorrow at 11 AM. It reads shorthand, picks a category and estimates how long a task will take. Every guess shows up as a chip you can tap off before anything is saved, and each behavior has its own switch. Right on your Home Screen. The Poof widget keeps your next tasks in view, small or medium. Tap the ring to poof one right there, with three seconds to take it back. Your day, planned like magic. Tap Plan and Magic Planner turns your list into a real day: overdue first, deadlines next, quick wins up front for momentum, and breaks built in, all fitted before your bedtime. Every choice comes with a plain-English reason, and the plan is always yours to reshape. It only ever suggests. It never touches your due dates. Your tasks never leave your phone. This is the part that matters most. Poof has no servers and no account. Nothing you write is ever sent anywhere; your tasks stay right here on your device. No analytics, no trackers, no ad IDs, nothing to sign in to. And if you'd rather leave no trace at all, turn on Auto-Delete and finished tasks disappear for good. Make it yours. Themes, app icons and the way your tasks vanish all live in one Customize screen with a live preview: see your own list in a new theme, your icon on a Home Screen, your poof as it plays. Every theme has a matching light and dark flavor. Sort your list the way you think, whether that's Smart, Due Date, Date Added or Time Estimate. Seasons, earned by using it. Now and then Poof opens a seasonal pack. Poof-o-ween runs until November 2: three looks, three icons and three new ways for a task to vanish, earned along a five-stop trail of ordinary things like poofing a task or making a plan. Whatever you reach is yours to keep, even after the season ends. Nothing to buy. Free where it counts. Everything you need to plan and finish your day is free, and always will be: no ads, no subscriptions, no account. Features • Finish tasks and watch them poof away, with a choice of completion effects • One-tap Undo and a completed-task history you control • Magic Intent: write tasks the way you'd say them • Magic Planner: your whole day arranged in a single tap, with reasons • Home Screen widgets, small and medium, with poof-from-the-widget • Per-task reminders and an optional daily planning nudge • Recurring tasks, priorities, time estimates and emoji categories • Themes with matching light and dark, alternate app icons, and seasonal packs • Sort by Smart, Due Date, Date Added or Time Estimate • Auto-Delete options to make finished tasks vanish for good • Your tasks stay on your device: no account, no servers, no tracking • Free, with no ads and no subscriptions Nothing to sign in to. Just you, your day, and a little magic.
Remora

Everything you would rather not forget, kept in one place and given back when you ask for it. Remora is a personal memory companion. Not a notes app, not a to-do list, not a journal. It answers one question: what was it that I wanted to remember? FIVE WAYS IN Say it. Photograph it. Type it. Record it. Or save where you are. Whichever you pick, it takes one tap and under five seconds. Remora files it for you. YOU NEVER FILE ANYTHING No folders. No categories. No tags to invent and forget. Remora reads what you gave it and works out what it is: a receipt, a parking spot, a serial number, a wifi password, where you put the passport. FINDING IT AGAIN Ask for it the way you remember it, not the way you filed it. Type "car" and the parking photo comes back. Type "meter" and every meter reading does. Remora knows that a receipt is also an invoice, in all 26 languages it speaks. WHAT IT KNOWS HOW TO READ Text in photographs, so a receipt becomes a shop, a date and an amount. What you said, transcribed on your iPhone as you speak. Names, places, amounts, dates, serial numbers, licence plates, IBANs, wifi passwords, room and locker numbers. NO BACKEND There is no account and no server. Nothing you save is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to. There is no company-side database to breach and nothing to subpoena, because there is nothing. Everything lives on your iPhone and in your own backup. Export everything whenever you like: a zip holding your memories as JSON and CSV, plus your original photos and recordings. Deleted memories wait thirty days in Trash before they go. No notifications, apart from one on the day before your seven days end. WITHOUT OPENING THE APP A Home Screen widget and a Lock Screen widget go straight to the way in you want. Siri can save a spoken memory and search your memories for you. WHAT IT COSTS Seven days free. No payment details needed to start. After that, a yearly plan that renews, or one payment that never repeats. The price for your country is shown on this page and in the app before anything is charged. If you never pay, everything you have already saved stays readable, searchable and exportable. Forever. Only saving new memories needs Premium. Remora Premium, yearly: EUR 18.00 per year, an auto-renewing subscription of one year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically at EUR 18.00 unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. You can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renew in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Remora Premium, forever: EUR 49.00, a single payment that never renews. Prices are shown in euros here and are converted by Apple for your country. The exact amount in your own currency is shown on this page and again in the app before anything is charged.
