This is a hands free reminder app. You set it for either a location or at a time and it will speak a phrase you enter without having to touch the device. How many times has your phone played a sound, just so you can pick up the phone to find out why it was making the noise? This app speaks exactly what you want to say, exactly when or where you want to say it. You can also use it for a location. You can set it to say "Go in and talk to the teacher" when you pull into the school's parking lot, or "Pay the light bill" when you pull into your driveway. The icon will have a number, telling you how many reminders you have set. (English Only)

Plan your day. Then see how long it actually took. Most task apps only record whether you finished something. Timlin measures the time you actually spent and puts it next to what you planned. ■ Planned vs. actual Start a timer on any task. Timlin logs the real duration and shows it against your estimate. After a few days, patterns appear — the 30-minute task that always takes 50. ■ A vertical timeline for the day Drop tasks onto the timeline and drag to adjust start and end times. You can see the density of your day at a glance, and notice when it's overloaded. ■ Brain dump Write everything down first. Decide order and timing later. ■ Focus timer Tap a task to start. The remaining time stays visible, and the measured time becomes your record. ■ Built for plans that change Long-press to move tasks around when the day shifts. Timlin doesn't assume you'll follow the plan exactly. ■ Pricing Timlin requires a Timlin Pro subscription. A 3-day free trial is included — cancel during the trial and you won't be charged. Timlin Pro includes: - Daily timeline planning - Time tracking and logs - Brain dump - Focus timer - Morning carry-over - AI planning and task breakdown - Google Calendar sync - Automatic rescheduling - Themes and colors Monthly / Yearly / Lifetime options available. ■ Made by one person Built by an indie developer in Japan, originally for personal use.
