Get things done with DoNext – your focused todo list for stress-free productivity.
FOCUS ON WHAT TO DO NEXT
• Decide your next action: Break down goals into actionable first steps, like "search flights to Paris" instead of vague tasks like "plan vacation"
• Quick switch between contexts: Jump instantly to any task list by typing its initials (e.g., "o" for "online") in the search
• See only what matters: View actionable tasks relevant to your current context, eliminating overwhelm
KEY FEATURES
• One-tap completion: Mark next-actions done with a single tap
• Stay fresh: Tasks automatically shuffle so older items don't get ignored
• Lightning-fast navigation: Type list initials or press tab to switch between contexts instantly
• Prevent duplicates: See similar tasks while entering new ones to keep your lists clean
• Automatic cleanup: Completed tasks disappear the next day – no manual maintenance required
• Inbox for quick capture: Jot down thoughts on the go and process them later
• Long-press actions: Edit, delete, or open links in any task
• Siri Shortcuts & Spotlight: Quickly access lists or capture ideas system-wide
HOW DONEXT FITS YOUR WORKFLOW
DoNext works perfectly alongside your existing productivity system:
**Capture Everything**: Add ideas to the DoNext inbox throughout the day
**Process Your Inbox**: Transform each item into a clear, actionable next-action you can do right now
**Make Tasks Actionable**: Replace vague tasks like "organize project" with concrete first steps like "email Sarah for project files"
**Choose the Right Context**: Organize tasks by location (@home), situation (@team-meeting), or person (@partner)
**Use Other Apps for Planning**: Track complex multi-step projects in dedicated project management apps, then add next-actions to DoNext as they become relevant
**Calendar for Deadlines**: Schedule time-specific tasks with due dates in your calendar; use DoNext for everything you want to do ASAP
**Work from Your Lists**: Let DoNext handle sorting and cleanup automatically – no manual reordering or "today view" needed
**Keep It Simple**: Use DoNext exclusively for next-actions; use other apps for notes, reminders, checklists, and long-term planning
**Pro Tip**: Use the "Capture thought" Shortcut to send text to your inbox from any app and Siri

I used Things app for years. Always focused on keeping all my tasks highly organized and categorized in projects, areas, etc. Unfortunately, I spent too much time and energy on organization instead of where I should have focused, on actually Getting Stuff Done.Once I began using Things exclusively for actionable items, I realized that was more robust than I needed. I sought a leaner, more streamlined app to manage my ToDo list with only a minimal amount of organization. And then I found DoNext.I appreciate the stripped-down and powerful functionality, as well as the minimal user interface. It's just what I needed to help me actively manage my ToDo list. Oh, and the recent feature of the automatic shuffling of tasks in each area helps keep the list fresh--useful for some of us who may ignore areas of the list and focus only on newly-added tasks. Stoked.
