The HourLife mini apps

Free

all 4 of them.

No unlock · no subscription · no in-app purchase

Every HourLife mini app is free. Not free-to-start, not a trial, and not a free tier with the useful half behind a paywall — the whole app, every feature in it, and everything you put into it. There is nothing to buy inside any of them and nothing to restore.

There is no account to make either. The apps keep what you write on your own phone, and iCloud sync — where an app has it — goes to your own private iCloud database, not to us.

The mini apps

All 4 mini apps below. This list is kept current here rather than inside any app, so it can change the day one is added or retired — without waiting for an app update.

TinyPact

The floor you hold every week

A daily-promise tracker — a weekly floor you either held or didn't, and a record of who you're becoming.

Free — nothing to unlock

Idea

One idea at a time

An idea reservoir that only lets one idea be live — pull one down, then finish it, set it down, or let it go.

ShowMe

Show only the card you choose

The information people ask for, kept as private cards — open one, tap Show, and only that card can be seen until you unlock it.

Free, and staying free

No unlock screen, no upgrade prompt, no free tier to outgrow.

Each mini app does one thing, and the one thing it does is the whole app. There is no version of it you are missing, no counter running down, and no feature that waits for a payment — including every mini app added to this list later.

What you keep

What you write stays on your phone, and every app that keeps a record lets you take that record back out — as plain text, a document, or a PDF. The answer to "what if this app goes away" is never itself a paid feature.

This page is where the list is kept. It changes when an app is added, without waiting for an app update.

Separate app

HourLife itself is a separate app, and is not one of the mini apps.

Everything on this page is a small, single-purpose app. HourLife, the full Life OS, is its own product with its own terms — installing a mini app has nothing to do with it, in either direction.

How to get them

  1. 01

    Install the one you want

    Each mini app is its own app on the App Store. Take one, take all 4, or take none — they do not need each other.

  2. 02

    Open it

    There is no account to make, no sign-in, and no unlock screen between you and the app.

  3. 03

    That is the whole of it

    Nothing to buy, nothing to renew, and nothing to restore on a new phone.

Paid for one before?

The mini apps used to sell a one-time unlock, on their own and as a bundle. They do not any more, and everything those purchases covered is now open to everyone — including you, with nothing to restore.

Last updated 29 August 2026. This page is the current list of the mini apps; it is updated when one is added or retired.
