Never forget when to put your bins out for collection. Is this week recycling or is that next week? Configure your different bin schedules in the app and then forget about it! Notifications will remind you when it is time to put out each type. Use the Apple Watch App or Widgets to quickly see your next collection. Use Siri shortcuts to ask when the next collection dates are for all bin schedules, which bin schedules are due on the next collection date, or when the next collection date is for an individual schedule. Manage shortcuts in Bin Day Alert's settings screen, the Shortcuts app, or in the Siri & Search section of Apple's Settings app. The app supports a wide range of collection schedules, making it suitable for use at home or business premises: a specific day each week; multiple days each week; a specific day every 2, 3, 4 or 5 weeks; or a specific day on one or more weeks of the month. Each schedule can have up to two alerts. Each alert can either be for the day before or the day of the bin collection. Snooze an alert notification by 15 minutes if you're busy right now, or by 1 day/week if a public holiday has temporarily changed the bin schedule. Going on vacation? There's a single setting to quickly disable all alerts. Back up your bin schedules to iCloud Drive, Dropbox etc. for safekeeping. Easily share your bin schedules with neighbors so they don't have to configure the app themselves.

About

Two Steps

Read full description

Two Steps is a habit-building app designed around real life—not perfect streaks. Progress isn’t linear. Some days you move forward, some days you step back, and that’s okay. Two Steps is built on the idea that sustainable habits come from balance, flexibility, and self-trust—not all-or-nothing rules. Create daily, weekly, or monthly goals and choose how they’re completed: automatically or through intentional action. Steady completion earns you tickets, a flexible reward system that lets you plan for imperfection instead of feeling punished by it. Progress, not streaks: • Break a streak without “failing” • Earn tickets that expire to discouraging hoarding and overuse • Set optional reminders for goals that need a nudge • Use multiple widgets to track progress at a glance • Focus on what matters with a clean, distraction-free design Two Steps helps you move forward even when life pulls you back a little. Because real change comes from persistence, not perfection.
