About Reckon
Reckon is a fast, calm, native to-do app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. You can use it entirely on its own — no account, no Notion — and it grows into Notion when you're ready. It is built by Carrotly Pte. Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in the Republic of Singapore.
Why we built it
Most to-do apps make you choose. Either a fast, native app that locks your tasks inside its own silo, or a flexible system like Notion that's heavier than it needs to be on mobile for the simple act of completing a task while walking out the door. We wanted both: an app that's instant to start and a pleasure to use every day, that keeps your data yours, and that can grow into Notion the day you want it to.
Reckon opens straight to your list. Capture a task, tick it off, move on. Start with no account and stay there for good if that's all you ever need — local mode is a permanent, first-class way to use the app. And if you already live in Notion, or decide to one day, connect it and your tasks graduate across, with Notion becoming the home they sync back to.
What we believe
- Your data is yours.In local mode your tasks live on your devices — no account, no server. Connect Notion and your task content lives in your own workspace; Reckon's servers only proxy the API and never persist it. Disconnect any time.
- Native beats wrapped. Built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI; tested on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple Silicon Mac. Real Lock Screen widgets, real Control Center actions, real Siri intents — not a web view in a chrome.
- Speed is a feature. Cold-start under a second. Fully offline on its own; when you connect Notion, an offline-first sync engine and Apple Push keep your devices in step. Every interaction is designed to be over before you notice.
- Calm by default.No AI is turned on by default — no chatbot in your face, no model reading over your shoulder. Optional on-device helpers are yours to switch on, or never touch. We never train AI on your data, ours or anyone else's.
- Privacy by default. No analytics on the website. No advertising. No data selling. The only telemetry is pseudonymous product-usage events and crash reports, keyed to a random device ID — and in local mode your tasks never reach our servers at all.
- Independent and bootstrapped. We are not VC-backed and not building for an acquisition. We make decisions on a multi-year timeline.
What's next
Reckon is in closed TestFlight beta and free while we're in beta. The App Store release will land once we're confident the experience is rock-solid — both standalone and across the long tail of Notion database shapes. After that, the near-term roadmap includes deeper Apple Watch support, richer widgets, and a Mac menu-bar companion for people who want to triage their inbox without leaving keyboard focus.
If we add a paid tier later it will be a one-time purchase, never a subscription, and connecting Notion will always cost nothing extra. We will not add team collaboration, AI summarisation, or anything that forces us to persist your task content on our servers — those would compromise the core promise: your data stays yours.
