Nylo

Read full description

Save it. Plan it. Finish it. You already send things to yourself. A reel you want to cook. A link you meant to read. A note you will need on Thursday. Nylo keeps all of it, and then does the part you never get round to. HOW THINGS GET IN Forward anything to Nylo on WhatsApp, or share a reel to him from Instagram. There is no new app to remember and nothing to file. He replies to say he has it. ASK HIM LATER Ask in your own words, the way you would ask a person. "What was that pasta thing." "What did Jessica post about." "How many things have I saved." He answers in one or two plain sentences and shows you exactly which save it came from, so you can check him. HE WATCHES THE REEL With Nylo Pro he watches each reel you send, so he knows what was said, what was on screen and what was shown. Ask for the books a reading reel named, or the recipe in a cooking reel, without opening it again. HE KNOWS MORE THAN YOUR SAVES Ask what buckets you have, what you have been putting off, what is left on a target, who you save most from, how long you have been using him. He knows, because it is your account and not a search box. Ask how the app works and the switch you need shows up right in the chat. GIVE IT A DATE AND IT BECOMES A PLAN Put a date on a bucket and Nylo reads what is in it and writes the steps himself, using the things you actually saved. A physio reel becomes "do three sets of calf raises every day", not "watch the physio reel". Then he keeps asking until they are done. A PLAN EACH MORNING, A CHECK EACH EVENING The morning list names what is due. The evening asks how it went. Tick or move, and he carries the rest over. On a day with nothing due he says nothing at all. THINGS THAT GROUP THEMSELVES Things about one idea end up together without you naming anything. You can make your own buckets too. WHAT LEAVES YOUR PHONE, PLAINLY Your saves live on Nylo's server so they come back on any phone you sign in on. When you ask a question, that question and the few saves that match it are sent to OpenAI to write the answer. With Pro, OpenAI also watches the reels you send so Nylo knows what is in them, and Apify, which fetches the reel, sees only its public link. OpenAI does not train on any of it. You agree to this before anything is sent, and the privacy policy spells it out. Posts you write in Feedback are public to everyone using Nylo, under your first name, and follow the community rules in the Terms of Use. Speech is turned into text on your device and never uploaded. FREE, AND PRO Free: 100 saves a month, all your buckets, everything you have already saved. Nylo Pro: ask him questions, he watches the reels you send, no monthly limit, the morning plan and the evening check. SUBSCRIPTION Nylo Pro is $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US, both with a 3 day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. It renews until you cancel, and you can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends.

DateMap

Features
Read full description

DateMap puts the whole month on your Home Screen — every day's events at a glance, with multi-day plans on one continuous bar, instead of only the next appointment. When the system language is Chinese, the Home Screen icon name is DateMap. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS • DateMap(month calendar): small shows today, medium shows the week, large shows the whole month • 倒数1 / 倒数2 / 倒数3: three countdown styles — ring, triple cells, and progress bars • 组合1 (Combo 1): yesterday through the day after tomorrow, plus one countdown • 组合2 (Combo 2): the week at a glance with a countdown progress bar • Lock Screen 月历 (month): the current month on your Lock Screen with event dots Widget text stays in Chinese by design; the app itself works fully in English. DATEMAP PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE Unlocks the Combo 1 & Combo 2 widgets and the Lock Screen month calendar, countdown photo backgrounds and custom colors, monthly and yearly lunar countdowns, and lunar event repeats. If you bought the old Combo widget, you already have Pro. TWO-WAY CALENDAR SYNC Read and edit your system Calendar events directly. Changes made here sync back to Calendar, and changes in Calendar show up here. MADE FOR THE CHINESE CALENDAR The month grid shows lunar dates, traditional festivals, solar terms, and public holiday rest/work days. Weeks can start on Sunday or Monday. GET THINGS DONE • Create events with natural language • Repeats: daily, weekly, weekdays, and lunar (lunar monthly is Pro) • Place search and current location • Local reminders and countdown day-before reminders • Countdown share cards: save or share as an image • Color intensity: adjust event color depth in the app and widgets • Search events, places, notes, and countdowns • Undo and trash recovery after deleting • Siri and Shortcuts PRIVACY FIRST No account, no ads. Calendar and countdown data never leaves your device — there is no developer server. Calendar, notification, and location permissions are used only for their features; location is requested only when you tap. DateMap works on iPhone. The app interface supports 简体中文, 繁體中文, and English.
