One job

No sign-up. No welcome tour. No badge on the icon nagging you.

Hello, my apps are tiny

The rules, stuck to the wall

Every one of these does a single annoying job and then gets out of the way. They are free to try with everything working — a handful of real uses, not a crippled demo — and when you want more you can pay once and keep it. Your records live on your phone and back themselves up to your own iCloud, which is yours and not mine. I never see them.
