ActionTree encompasses what we all need to function efficiently: Management of Projects and management of Time. Both entities are represented by separate but related views - the "Projects" view and the "Timeline" view. A tap on the view title switches between the two. The Projects view enables the user to create hierarchal projects. The Timeline view - a view of reminders and events sorted by time. In the Projects view, you can break your projects down to manageable steps that can be collapsed, expanded, fitted with quick reminders, photos and notes. The Timeline view provides list of reminders and events sorted by time. New reminders and events can be created and edited. Links are provided to correlate between the Projects and the Timeline views.

Chronisle — Focus through visual time islands Chronisle is a focus timer that turns your sessions into visual “time islands” on your screen. Instead of managing focus through plain lists or generic timers, you organize your work with islands you can place, customize, and follow at a glance. Each island can represent a different task, routine, or goal, helping you build a workspace that feels visual, calm, and easy to understand. What you can do • Create multiple focus islands for different tasks • Customize each island with its own name, color, icon, duration, notes, and custom image • Use Countdown or Stopwatch mode • Pause and resume a running island with press and hold • Double-tap an island to reveal its controls • Move and arrange islands freely across your workspace • Automatically save completed sessions in your Activity Log • Save, reuse, and share setups with Template Library • Use Auto Chain to continue from one island to the next • Track progress with the Daily Goal widget Live Activities Chronisle supports Live Activities so you can follow your running session from the Lock Screen. On supported iPhones, your session can also appear in Dynamic Island. Why people use Chronisle • Stay organized without visual clutter • Make focus sessions feel clearer and more motivating • Track progress in a more visual way • Build reusable setups for routines and repeated tasks • Keep important focus tools visible without constantly reopening the app Privacy-first No account required.
