In their own words
Anchor
Anchor is a time-blocking planner for iPhone and Mac. Users place tasks inside blocks for projects or activities, then work through the day one block at a time. Blocks can repeat automatically, and the planner can show one to five days together. Natural-language task entry can set a date, project and urgency; iPhone users can also capture tasks by voice. Anchor supports Siri, Shortcuts, Apple Calendar and Reminders, with two-way Calendar and Reminders sync. During a block, it displays only current work and can show that block on an iPhone Lock Screen, Dynamic Island or Mac notch. On Mac, Claude, Codex, Cursor or another MCP app can help plan tasks through an optional local server. Anchor requires no account, stores data on devices and users’ iCloud, works offline, and has no ads or cross-app tracking. The free plan includes unlimited tasks, projects and blocks; Super Anchor costs 49.99 USD once.
