Kombine

Kombine is a daily planner, to-do list and Pomodoro focus timer in one, with time tracking and an Apple Watch app — 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 — low, medium, or high — 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 — the one task you'll tackle first — 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) — 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 — time-boxed focus blocks with customizable durations and short breaks. Proven and reliable. Flow — open-ended sessions for deep work that needs room to breathe. Adaptive — 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 — 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 — by activity, by time of day — 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 — 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 — 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 — they contain no task content or personal information. Create an account to sync across devices and restore your data anywhere.

One round, one thing. Roundi holds you to a single task and shows the time as color: focus you can see. Turn the dial, press start, and a disc of color begins to disappear — like a kitchen timer for your attention. No numbers counting down, no notifications pulling you back. Just time, visibly running out. THE ONE RULE Leave the app — or lock the screen — before the round ends, and the round is lost, instantly. That's the whole trick: Roundi doesn't block anything, it just makes leaving cost something. (Too strict? There's a Lenient mode.) MADE FOR YOUR RITUALS • Meditate — 15 quiet minutes, watching the color fade • Study — a 50-minute block with no pings • Work — deep work sessions up to 2 hours • Train — planks, dead hangs, rest between sets Save each ritual as a tag and it becomes a one-tap start button with its own duration. SAY IT, DON'T TAP IT "Start Plank in Roundi." Between rounds, Siri sets the length, starts a tag, adds another round, or tells you your streak. Hands free — and once a round starts, nothing interrupts you. ON YOUR WRIST Roundi runs on Apple Watch too. Turn the Digital Crown, tap START, and the color sweeps away on your wrist; a tap and a chime mark the end. Watch rounds land in your iPhone's calendar, Siri works on the watch, and one rule carries over: unlock your iPhone during a watch round and the round ends. A TIMER YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT Choose how time drains: a clockwise disc, a color that falls or rises across the whole screen, or a spiral coil that unwinds from the outside in. Six soft colors. A chime and a soft blink of color when the round completes. EVERY ROUND, KEPT Finished rounds land as dots on your calendar, with your daily total and streak. Time becomes habit; habit becomes you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your rounds stay on your device. Set a time. Stay focused. One round at a time.
