From calendars to habit trackers: a surge of iOS productivity apps courting integrated workstreams

Indie iOS productivity apps are moving beyond single-task focus toward integrated workstreams. From GLI's calendar-driven goal tracker to Juno Planner's Gmail-Linear-GitHub bridge, developers stitch planning, health, and project tools into one flowing stack. ^[1]

Bundled workstreams

GLI — Goal & Habit Tracking Productivity App fuses goals, habits and daily tasks with a calendar view of completed work, plus a live feed to share achievements, notes, and XP rewards ^[1]. It’s described as free for now, with potential ads on the discovery screen rather than a traditional paywall. ^[1]

Juno Planner — Productivity hub with Calendar, Gmail, Linear, Github... integrations blends planning rituals, subtasks, contexts, recurrence, time tracking and estimation into one space. It also lets you drag emails into plans and brings work apps like GitHub and Linear into a private focus view ^[2]. ^[2]

Offline-first workouts and motivating programs

SetStack — A simple, offline workout tracker designed to be local, ad-free and data-collection-free. Create unlimited workouts, log sets/reps/weights, and use it entirely offline during open beta on TestFlight ^[3]. ^[3]

Strongr — A strength-training app that helps you follow a personalized program or build your own workouts, aiming to feel more motivating than typical gym apps. iOS users can grab the app and explore the build at strongr.app ^[4]. ^[4]

Gantt-style PM on macOS/iPad

Projectholic — A lightweight, personal Gantt-style project manager for macOS and iPad, with iCloud syncing and a free-to-download model, aimed at a minimal but structured planning view ^[5]. ^[5]

Closing thought: these multi-domain efforts signal a shift toward value built from tight integrations and offline-leaning workflows, not just features. Watch how monetization evolves as more apps blur lines between planning, health, and project work.
