CmdForge
Read full descriptionHide full description
CmdForge is a command and snippet organizer for personal use. Save commands and text snippets you use often, organize them into groups, and copy them with one tap. Search finds a saved command quickly. Everything is stored locally on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. An optional feature lets you sync your commands to a Google Sheet. This requires your own Google Cloud service account credentials, which you create and manage yourself. CmdForge does not run its own servers and does not see your data.
Cadence

adence shows every contribution you have made to GitHub on one screen: commits, pull requests, issues and reviews, from your first year to today. Pick a window and the grid and the total recompute. Swipe to step a year. All is simply the widest window: one row per year, one cell per month, every year you have. READ-ONLY ACCESS The scope is read:user, the narrowest permission that can count private contributions. Nothing can be pushed or edited, and your code is never read. Revoke it on GitHub at any time. NO ACCOUNT Nothing to sign up for. You approve a code on GitHub's own page and the token stays in your device keychain. There are no Cadence servers, no analytics and no advertising. WORKS OFFLINE Your history is cached on the device, so every window and every year reads without a connection. Nothing is disabled and nothing is greyed out; a quiet line names the date the record reaches. FREE, NO ADS Cadence is free, with no in-app purchases and no ads. WHAT GETS COUNTED The totals come from GitHub's own contribution calendar, so everything it counts is inside every number here, private contributions included. Commits, pull requests, issues and reviews are broken out per day; discussions and new repositories are in the total only, because GitHub does not report them separately.

Verdict
CmdForge and Cadence are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
