What is BeforeSunset?
BeforeSunset is a small independent software studio that makes focused iOS apps. Its stated approach is to build one app per everyday problem rather than one giant productivity suite — the tagline on BeforeSunset is "Small apps for things that should be simpler."
The site lists five apps, each with a narrow job:
| App | Problem it addresses | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Wimz | Forgetting where you put things | Records the last place you confirmed an item was, with categories, status and "Containers" for groups |
| Unlock | Vague intentions that never become action | Turns a goal, idea or problem into steps, notes and guides |
| Mirror | Not knowing where your time goes | A plain start/stop timer that builds a private record of your day, week or month — no goals or streaks |
| BeforeSunset AI | Planning and prioritising a day | Breaks down what you write, arranges tasks by priority and time, and can show calendar events alongside |
| Mi Amor | Misreading a dating conversation | Analyses up to four chat screenshots for tone, interest and suggested replies |
| Rollin' | Decision paralysis | Picks one option from two choices or a larger set |
Who it suits
The common thread is low-ceremony tools: short inputs, minimal setup, and no gamification or coaching pressure. That fits someone who wants a single-purpose app for a specific annoyance — tracking a passport's location, or timing work without a productivity system attached — rather than someone who wants everything in one dashboard with shared data.
Trade-offs to weigh
- Focused apps mean focused data. Wimz's item locations, Mirror's time records and Unlock's plans live in separate places, so cross-app workflows are limited.
- The AI features (BeforeSunset AI planning, Mi Amor's chat reading) depend on what you type or upload; their value tracks how much context you give them.
- Mi Amor is a niche, entertainment-leaning tool rather than a general assistant, so judge it on that basis.
- Everything listed is iOS, so Android or desktop-first users would need to look elsewhere.
Next step
Open BeforeSunset and read the individual app pages for the one problem that actually bothers you day to day. A useful test: if you can describe the problem in a single sentence — "I lose track of where I put things" — one of these apps is aimed at you; if your need spans several of them, a broader tool may serve you better.
How do I use Wimz to remember where I put my things?
Wimz is one of the five focused iOS apps from BeforeSunset. It is built for a simple, specific job: keeping track of where your belongings were last seen, so you don't have to hold that in your head. There's no scanning, tagging or hardware involved — you tell Wimz where something is, and it remembers.
How it works
The core loop is quick and low-effort:
- Save a place in seconds. When you put something down — keys in a drawer, passport in a suitcase, a spare charger in a cupboard — you record it. Wimz accepts typing, voice, or a photo, so you don't have to open a form and fill in fields if you don't want to.
- Confirm the last known spot. Wimz keeps the last place you confirmed, rather than a history of guesses. That matters: the value is in the most recent reliable location, not an archive.
- Group items into Containers. Related things can be grouped, which is what makes the app usable once you have more than a handful of entries. A "Travel" container for passport, adapters and headphones; a "Home office" container for cables and drives.
- Browse by category, status or Container. When you're actually looking for something, you can search rather than scrolling one long list.
A realistic scenario
You're leaving for a trip in the morning. Instead of trying to recall where the travel adapter went, you open Wimz, look at your Travel container, and see the last place you confirmed it. If you moved it since, you update it in a few seconds — that one update is what keeps the system trustworthy.
The habit that makes or breaks it: record the location at the moment you put the item down, not later. A location you log from memory an hour afterwards is exactly the kind of uncertain guess Wimz is meant to replace.
Where it fits — and where it doesn't
Wimz is a memory aid, not a tracker. It can't find a lost item by itself, and it won't help if you forget to log something. That trade-off is deliberate: no batteries, no tags, no pairing, and no ongoing cost beyond the app itself.
If you want automatic location tracking, a Bluetooth tracker is a different category of product. If what you actually need is to stop relying on recall for where things live, Wimz's approach is lighter and works for anything — including things a tag can't sensibly be attached to.
A good first step
Start with the three to five items you misplace most often, create one Container for them, and log each location as you set it down today. If that feels natural after a week, expand to a second Container. If you find yourself not updating it, the app is telling you something useful: for those items, a different method may suit you better.
How does BeforeSunset AI plan my day and prioritize tasks?
BeforeSunset AI turns a free-form brain dump into a structured day. You write what's on your mind, it breaks that into tasks, then arranges them into a schedule — with the site describing the result as ordered by priority and time efficiency.
The planning flow, as described
- Capture — You type out your to-dos or whatever is occupying your head, in plain language rather than a rigid task format.
- Break down — The AI splits a broad intention into individual tasks, so a vague goal becomes a list of concrete items.
- Plan My Day — You trigger the planning step and the AI produces a schedule rather than leaving you with an unsorted list.
- Order by priority and time efficiency — The arrangement accounts for both what matters most and how the items fit together in time.
- Focus — The site also mentions an AI-built workspace (Oasis) intended to keep you working once the plan exists.
Two supporting features shape the output. A calendar connection shows your existing events while you plan, so the schedule is built around fixed commitments rather than pretending your day is empty. The same "Unlock" concept appears as a standalone app that takes a goal, idea or problem and turns it into steps, notes and a direction — useful when the thing you're planning isn't a task list yet.
What this is good and bad at
It suits someone whose problem is starting: too many loose intentions, no clear order, and a preference for writing prose over filling in forms. The trade-off is that AI-generated priority reflects what you told it, not what you actually value. If you write down twelve things and call them all urgent, you get a confident-looking schedule built on a bad input.
It's a weaker fit if you need dependencies, deadlines across weeks, or team assignments — the description centres on planning a day, not managing a project.
A practical way to test it
Try it on a real morning with one hard constraint you already know: a 2pm meeting and two hours of deep work you refuse to move. Write your tasks naturally, run the planning step, and check three things — did it protect the deep work, did it put your genuinely most important item early, and did it leave slack for overruns? If it fails the first test, correct it in your input before blaming the tool.
For a lighter alternative when you just need to see where time goes rather than have it planned for you, the same developer's Mirror app takes the opposite approach: manual timers and a private record of your day, explicitly without goals, streaks or coaching. If planning pressure is the thing you're trying to escape, that's a more honest fit. You can see both at BeforeSunset.
What can Unlock help me turn into a plan?
Unlock turns a broad intention into a concrete plan. According to the product description on BeforeSunset, you start with "a goal, idea, or problem," and it shapes that into clear steps, useful notes, and something you can act on.
In practice, that means it is aimed at the moment before you have a task list — when you know you want to make progress on something but haven't decided how. You tell it what you want to move forward on, it helps set a direction, then breaks the intention into smaller actions. Guides and notes stay attached to the work, and you can research further without losing the plan.
A concrete example: instead of "get healthier," you would give Unlock that goal, and it would help produce doable steps and supporting notes you can work through.
Next step: open Unlock with one goal, idea, or problem you have been circling, and see whether the steps it returns are specific enough to start on today. If they are still too broad, feed it a narrower version of the same intention.
How does Mi Amor help me understand dating chat screenshots?
Mi Amor is a focused iOS app for reading dating-chat screenshots. You upload up to four screenshots of a conversation, and it returns a breakdown of the vibe, the apparent level of interest, the subtext, and suggestions for what you could say next. In the words of the site's own description, it helps you "read between the messages" and get "a clearer read on the conversation behind the words."
What it does with your screenshots
- Real feeling — an interpretation of the emotional tone of the exchange.
- Interest — a read on how engaged the other person seems.
- Hidden meaning — subtext that is easy to miss when you are the one in the conversation.
- Next move — suggested replies or directions to take the chat.
When it is genuinely useful
A concrete case: you have been messaging someone for a week, replies have gotten shorter, and you cannot tell whether they are busy or losing interest. You screenshot the last several messages, upload them, and use the output as a second opinion rather than a verdict. It is most helpful when you are too close to the thread to read it calmly, or when you are drafting a reply and want options you would not have thought of.
Trade-offs to keep in mind
The app reads text and context from images, so it only knows what is visible in the screenshots — tone, timing, and history outside those frames are invisible to it. Interpretations of subtext are inherently speculative, and dating conversations are exactly the kind of ambiguous material where an AI can sound confident without being right. Treat the output as one perspective, not a diagnosis of what the other person feels. Also consider privacy: you are uploading intimate conversations, so think about whether you are comfortable putting those screenshots into any app.
A practical next step
Before uploading, pick screenshots that show a real arc — the opening message, a few exchanges, and the most recent reply — rather than four near-identical messages. Then compare Mi Amor's read against your own honest guess and see where they diverge; the gap is usually the most informative part. If you want to see the app alongside the other small tools from the same maker, start at BeforeSunset.
How does Mirror track where my time goes?
Mirror is a timer-based time tracker: you start and stop it around what you're doing, and it builds a private record of where your time went. There are no goals, streaks, or coaching attached — the point is observation, not self-improvement pressure.
What it does with that record
- Look back at your day, week, or month. The tracked moments roll up into a picture of how you actually spend your days.
- Sync across Apple devices when you choose. Syncing is optional and manual rather than always-on, and it comes without notifications or pressure.
- Add context. You can label or annotate entries so the picture means something later.
How to use it
The realistic workflow is to run the timer while you work and add context at the end of a session, not during it. If you're deciding whether this fits you, ask one question: do you want data to look at, or data that pushes you to change? Mirror is the former. If you want nudges, reminders, and a schedule built for you, a planner-style tool is a better fit — BeforeSunset's own AI app on the same site breaks your notes into tasks and plans your day, which is a different job entirely.
A concrete scenario
Say you keep finishing the week unsure why nothing shipped. Start the timer when you open your laptop, stop it when you switch to email, restart it when you return. After two weeks you can look at the month view and see the split between real work and interruption — a fact you can act on, rather than a feeling.
Practical caveats
Timer-based tracking only captures what you remember to start and stop, so gaps are normal and the record is only as honest as your habit. Treat the first week as calibration. For a second opinion on the approach, general time-tracking guidance from Todoist or Zapier covers similar ground.
