Too many things to do? Which one first?
Which Thing First? (WTF?) helps you decide. Instead of staring at a long list, it shows you just two things at a time and asks the one question that cuts through: which thing first? Make a few quick, easy choices and WTF turns them into a clear, ranked order - so you always know what to do next.
Love a method like Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen? Even with a great system, one question remains: which thing to get done first? That's the gap WTF fills.
It's a refreshingly simple way to prioritize. No due dates to juggle, no system to learn. Just compare, two at a time, and let the ranking fall out - and watch a beautiful animation bring your prioritized list to life.
Everything you need, nothing you don't:
• Multiple lists - keep separate ones for work, home, what to read next, anything
• Share a list - export it as text, copy it, or send its items to Apple Reminders
• Siri & Shortcuts - ask for your top thing without opening the app
• Available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish
• A fast, clean, fully accessible design for modern iPhone and iPad
Perfect for:
• To-do lists and tasks you can't seem to start
• Deciding what to read, watch, play, or buy next
• Ranking options when every choice feels equal
• Anything that needs a clear first, second, third
Free to use, with a one-time upgrade (no subscription) to unlock unlimited lists and items. No ads. No accounts. No tracking - your lists stay on your device.
Made with care by a small, independent studio. Thank you for trying it - and if it helps you, a review means the world.
It seems like a good idea as a free sample but that's cuz u r only allowed 4 items on a list for free. When you pay, there is a lot of useless, time wasting stuff as you have to compare ur newest entry with EVERY other list item, when that stuff should be automated. Edit: The developer said these issues have been fixed so changing my rating to 4 stars

Hi Sooppa1 - Thanks ever so much for your detailed review. I think I've fixed most of these issues. I've recently completely rebuilt Which Thing First? from the ground up. There are multiple lists, the iPad keyboard no longer covers what you're typing, and finished lists reorder themselves so #1 sits at the top. Being straight with you on the one thing I haven't changed: comparing a new item against the others is how the ranking is worked out, so that's still there by design. I'd be really grateful if you gave it another look. All the best, Matt in Yorkshire.
Simple and straightforward

I’ve enjoyed this app for quite some years. It’s simple and to the point. I brain dump and prioritize by comparing 2 items at a time. It’s perfect. My only request would be for the “enter” button to automatically go to the next line. Having to stop to find the “+” button stops my list-making flow. I love the addition of creating separate lists! Now I can prioritize phone-calls, appointments, tasks, etc. Thank you 🙏

Dear Pix BugUPDATE: Thank you again for the lovely review! Your request is in v2.3, out now: press return to add an item and you go straight on to the next one, with no need to reach for the + button. When you're done, press return on an empty line to finish. Thanks for the suggestion - it's made list-making smoother for everyone.Matt.---I am delighted the app is useful for you. Thanks so much for this review.I think your suggestion is great and I'll try to implement something in the next version.All the best,Matt in sunny Yorkshire, England.
Helpful - room for improvement

Using the free version for now — had seen another similar app recommended but only available in Google Store. Would be better if list itself reorganized top to bottom; #1 on top, etc. It doesn’t do that, but does label priority of items 1,2,3,4.

Hi YonahThanks for leaving a review of my Which Thing First app some years ago. Just to let you know I've released v2.0 of the app. It's a complete rebuild, supports multiple lists, and items do reorganize after all the comparisons have been done. I would be grateful if you gave it another look.All the best,Matt.
Very simple app good idea

Like the idea a lot but wish I could -Have more than one task list for more than one job/place.-Type more words for individual tasks.-Move a task to the top priority spot given a near immediate situation.I liked the idea but only four tasks without purchase it’s an app with the goal to simplify prioritizing and it limits you to simple amounts of tasks to prioritize without purchasing.... lol.

Hi JL!Thanks for leaving a review of my Which Thing First app a few years ago. Just to let you know I've released v2.0 of the app. It's a complete rebuild and supports multiple lists. I would be grateful if you gave it another look. All the best, Matt.
• Undo while comparing - changed your mind? Step back through your choices, one at a time
• Adding items is quicker - press return to add one and carry straight on to the next. An empty return finishes
• Landscape now works properly on the compare and upgrade screens
• Fixes: an item added after a reset now appears, the list order stays put, and Paste items notices a list you copied in another app
• VoiceOver speaks its announcements in your language too
Thank you for using WTF - I hope it helps you decide what's first.
