ReadyLoop vs MarkThen

ReadyLoop turns the routines you repeat — leaving home, packing for a trip, or closing your workday — into reusable checklists called runbooks. Keep the steps that stay the same, add what is different this time, and continue from where you stopped whenever life interrupts you. A RUNBOOK, NOT ANOTHER TO-DO LIST A to-do list is completed and forgotten. A runbook is designed to be used again. “Always” steps stay in the runbook. “This Time” steps apply only to the current run. Changes you make to a runbook never alter runs you have already completed. RESUME, NEVER RESTART A phone call. A knock at the door. An empty battery. When you return, ReadyLoop takes you back to the step where you stopped — without losing your place or asking you to start over. TWO WAYS TO RUN • Quick Scan — See the entire list on one screen and check off steps as you go. • Guided Run — Focus on one step at a time when you need fewer distractions. Available with ReadyLoop Pro. CALM BY DESIGN Nothing is scored, and nothing nags you. When you close a run, ReadyLoop gives you a neutral summary: 8 done · 1 not needed · 1 left open That is the end of it. WIDGETS, LOCK SCREEN, AND DYNAMIC ISLAND Keep your active run visible from your Home Screen or Lock Screen. With ReadyLoop Pro, Live Activities can show your next step on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhone models. YOUR ROUTINES STAY YOURS • No ReadyLoop account or sign-up • No developer-operated servers • Works fully offline • No ads • No third-party analytics or tracking • Export your data as a file whenever you choose • Optional iCloud Sync across your devices with ReadyLoop Pro READYLOOP PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Unlock ReadyLoop Pro with a single in-app purchase: • Unlimited runbooks — the free version includes up to 3 • Guided Run • Complete history and calendar archive — the free version shows the most recent 14 days • iCloud Sync across your devices • Dynamic Island and Lock Screen Live Activities ReadyLoop is an organizational aid. It records the completion status you enter in the app but does not independently verify that a step has been completed.

MarkThen is a local-first step-by-step flow reminder that turns routines into clear, actionable sequences. Use it for morning and bedtime routines, study plans, workouts, household tasks, work checklists, and anything you want to complete one step at a time. Key features • Create custom flows with your own steps and intervals • Focus on one active flow at a time; the next interval starts after you complete or skip the current step • Receive on-device notifications when a step is due • Choose System Default, Silent, or one of 12 app sounds for each flow • View the current step and progress through Lock Screen Live Activities and the Dynamic Island on supported devices while iOS permits • Enable a more noticeable persistent alert when supported by the system and device and after granting the required permission • Keep local history and delete individual records or select, select all visible, and delete records in batches • No account required and no cloud sync; flows and history stay on your device • Available in Simplified Chinese and English The free version supports up to 3 flows with up to 8 steps per flow. MarkThen Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no subscription. It removes product-level limits on the number of flows and steps; practical capacity remains subject to device storage and system resources. Previous purchases can be verified with Restore Purchases. Live Activity duration and placement are managed by iOS and are not guaranteed to remain visible indefinitely. Due-time alerts continue to rely on local notifications and system-permitted alert capabilities.
