About

Cadence

Read full description

Cadence is a calm, beautifully simple way to keep up with the things you do again and again — the tasks that don't have a single due date, but a rhythm. Instead of one-off reminders that nag you at a fixed time, Cadence todos reset on the clock. Tick one off and it moves to Completed. When its interval's next boundary passes, it quietly returns to your active list, ready to do again. No streaks to break, no guilt — just a clear picture of what's due right now. WHY CADENCE IS DIFFERENT Resets happen on absolute clock boundaries, not relative to when you finished. "Every 6 hours" always resets at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 — not six hours after you happened to tap it. "Every day" resets at midnight. So your whole list stays in step with the actual time of day. SEVEN SIMPLE INTERVALS • Every hour • Every 6 hours • Every 12 hours • Every day • Every other day • Every week • Every two weeks • Custom A todo is just two things: what it says, and how often it repeats. That's the whole idea. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE • Active and Completed sections, so you always know what's left • Tap to complete — and tap a completed item to bring it back early • Drag to reorder your active list; your order is remembered • Swipe to delete A HOME-SCREEN WIDGET Add the Cadence widget in three sizes to see what's due at a glance. It shows as many of your active todos as will fit; tap it to jump straight into the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Cadence keeps everything on your device. There's no account to create, no iCloud, no sign-in, and no internet connection required. It collects no data, shows no ads, and contains no trackers and no third-party integrations. Your todos are yours alone. MADE FOR EVERYDAY RHYTHMS Perfect for hydration and stretch breaks, medication and supplement routines, chores and cleaning, pet care, watering the plants, posture checks, and any healthy habit you want to keep on a steady cadence. Download Cadence and find your rhythm.

WorkClock quietly remembers when and where you work — so you don't have to. Arrive at work, and WorkClock notices. One tap on a friendly notification and your day has started. Leave for the day, and it gently asks if you're done. That's it. No forms, no timers to remember, no fuss. MADE FOR REAL WORKDAYS • Works anywhere — no need to set up an office location. WorkClock learns where you work each day. • Start and end your day from a notification, the app, or right from a home-screen widget. • Lunch break or a quick errand? WorkClock knows the difference and keeps your day going. • Forgot something? Every day is easy to fix later — times, places, days off. SEE YOUR MONTH AT A GLANCE • A clean calendar shows every worked day with its hours. • Tap any day for the full story: start, end, total, and a map of where the day took you. • Monthly summary with weekly totals and daily averages. YOURS ALONE • Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking. • Export all your data anytime, or delete everything with one tap. QUIET BY DESIGN • At most a couple of gentle notifications a day. • Vacation mode keeps it completely silent while you rest. • Battery-friendly: WorkClock uses Apple's low-power location features, never continuous GPS. WorkClock was built with love for one hardworking dad — and now it's here for yours too.
