Kombine
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kombine combines task planning, a Pomodoro timer, and time tracking โ so you can plan what needs doing, actually do it, and see where your time went. The key difference: every task has an energy level โ low, medium, or high โ as well as a priority. When you're drained, filter to low-energy tasks and still move forward. When you're sharp, tackle the hard stuff. It's a small change. It makes a big difference. TODAY Open the app to your day: today's focus time and sessions, your Toad โ the one task you'll tackle first โ and what's up next. One tap starts a focus session. PLAN Each task takes a deadline, priority, energy level, and tags. Group your list by date, energy, priority, status, or urgency (Eisenhower) โ switch any time to see what matters right now. Recurring tasks for the things that come back. Reminders you can act on: start focus or snooze straight from the notification. Import from Todoist or CSV to get started fast. GOALS Set goals for the week, month, quarter, and year. Tick them off, link tasks to them, and when a period ends, review it: keep what you achieved, drop what no longer matters, carry over the rest. Add a note to any period. ACT Three timer modes adapt to how you work: Pomodoro โ time-boxed focus blocks with customizable durations and short breaks. Proven and reliable. Flow โ open-ended sessions for deep work that needs room to breathe. Adaptive โ tell the app how energized you feel; it sets work and break durations to match. Each session links to a task and an activity type โ Work, Meeting, Learning, Reading, Writing, Exercise, Creative, Planning, Admin, or your own. Time per task is logged automatically. No manual entry. TRACK The Log is what you actually did, not what you meant to: sessions, notes, and completed tasks on one timeline. Statistics show your focus by week, month, quarter, and year โ by activity, by time of day โ compared with the same point last period. A streak tracks the days you hit your focus target. Useful patterns surface; bad weeks aren't dramatic, just visible. EVERYWHERE YOU WORK Built for iPhone and iPad, with list and details side by side on the bigger screen. A home screen widget for today's tasks, and a Live Activity that keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Real-time sync across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and the web app โ pick up exactly where you left off. Works fully offline; syncs when you're back online. APPLE WATCH Start, pause, or stop a session from your wrist โ even without a signal. A complication keeps your active task visible at a glance. Everything reconciles the moment your devices reconnect. PRIVACY No account required to start. All tasks, sessions, and settings are stored locally on your device. Crash reports are sent anonymously for stability monitoring โ they contain no task content or personal information. Create an account to sync across devices and restore your data anywhere.

Some timers just count your minutes. Wick turns focus into a ritual you actually want to return to. Light a candle, name one honest intention, and begin. A little candle burns beside you while you work โ put the phone face down, and the flame holds the time for you. When the session ends, you've made something real. MAKE FOCUS A RITUAL Choose Pomodoro, Flowtime, or a plain timer, then step into a warm candle room โ no angry red numbers, no pressure. Just you and the next stretch of deep work. GUARD THE HOUR Turn on the Shield and Wick keeps distracting apps behind a gentle wall while you focus โ a breath of friction, never a cage. There's always an exit for you. ONE HONEST INTENTION A DAY Skip the endless to-do list. Name what matters, give it your full flame, and let the rest wait its turn. ONLY COUNTS THE FIRE THAT WAS REAL Wick logs the focus you truly gave โ nothing padded, nothing faked. Watch small flames add up on your almanac, one focused day at a time, and keep a streak worth keeping. YOURS ALONE No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Everything runs on your device. Wick is free to use. Wick Pro is a one-time purchase โ no subscription โ that unlocks deep-guard mode, candle skins, ambient sounds, and more themes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kombine at none against Wick's 1. Kombine also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
