Where does your week actually go? Buckets holds the parts of your life that matter, work, movement, sleep, family, and gives each one a weekly intention: how much time you actually want to pour in. Then it helps you protect that time before the week gets noisy. HOW IT WORKS Bucket. One area of your life, with a weekly intention. Work. Movement. Sleep. Family. Study. Faith. Whatever yours are. Block. You protect time for a Bucket by placing a Block on your calendar, in advance. A promise made to yourself while the week is still quiet. Session. When the Block arrives you start a focus session, and the timer runs. Work, move, rest, read. The session just holds the time. Pour. When you finish you confirm what actually happened, and only then does it pour into the Bucket. A Pour is never recorded without you. That last part is the whole point. Buckets does not watch you, guess at you, or fill itself in behind your back. Your week is only as full as you say it is, which is what makes the number worth looking at. YOUR WEEK, IN ONE PLACE Vessels for each Bucket that fill as the week goes on A plan timeline where you drag a Bucket onto the day to protect time Your existing calendar shown alongside, so open space stays honest Widgets for today's plan, one Bucket's ring, and how the week is filling A Live Activity and Dynamic Island for the running session Morning and evening moments, a daily reflection, and a weekly close Shortcuts for starting and finishing a session by voice ON YOUR DEVICE, AND NOWHERE ELSE No account. No sign up. No server. Every Bucket, Block, Session and Pour lives in the app's own database on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is sold, nothing leaves the device unless you choose to connect your calendar or Health. FREE, AND PRO Free holds one Bucket, with the full day, sessions, reflections, and every Pour you ever confirm.
