NOT EVERY TASK IS URGENT.
Some things can wait — but shouldn't be forgotten. Changing bed sheets, renewing your passport, checking food expiry dates, calling your parents. They're not on your daily to-do list, but they still need to happen.
What-Else tracks them so you don't have to think about them — until it's time. It's the to-do list for everything else.
THE CONCEPT
• Flexible Intervals
Real life isn't a calendar. With "Smart Intervals" (e.g., Every 2 weeks), the next due date only sets after you actually complete the task. No stress if you're a day late—the schedule adjusts to you.
• Precision When Needed
Need strict dates? You can also schedule tasks for specific days (e.g., "Every Tuesday" or "1st of the month"). Or combine both—flexible intervals with calendar-specific dates in a single task.
• Track Reliability with On-Time Rate
Unlike apps that just show checkmarks, What-Else tracks whether you completed tasks on-time or late. See which routines you're great at and which need interval adjustments based on YOUR patterns, not guesswork.
KEY FEATURES
• Dual Scheduling: Combine flexible intervals with calendar-specific dates in one task (e.g., "Every 5 days" + "Every Tuesday"). Most apps force you to choose one approach—What-Else gives you both
• On-Time Rate Tracking: See completion reliability percentages for each task, not just checkmarks. Identify patterns and adjust intervals based on real data
• Widgets: See your task status directly on your Home Screen or Lock Screen
• iCloud Sync: Seamlessly syncs between devices. No account required
• Daily Overview Notifications: Get a summary of what's due today
• Native Design: Built with SwiftUI for a smooth experience with Dark Mode and Haptic Feedback
• iPad and Apple Watch Support
• Siri Shortcuts: Automate your routines with voice commands
PERFECT FOR
• Household: Changing bed sheets, watering plants, deep cleaning the bathroom
• Maintenance: Descaling the coffee machine, backing up photos, digital cleanup
• Health: Replacing toothbrush, taking vitamins, washing hairbrushes
• Life Admin: Renewing your passport, checking food expiry dates, annual subscriptions
• Social: Calling parents, reaching out to old friends
and so much more ...

Combines last time tracking with scheduled activities with some unique twists. Now with an Apple Watch app too. In future updates love to see:- Amount tracking with custom units and default amounts- Notes / log for individual completions- Be able to backdate entries on Calender and/or by allowing us to edit completion date - Watch complications - More app icons to choose from with additional colors for various home screensOne caveat: iCloud sync issues between devices (two iPhones on same account). Data doesn’t fully propagate to second phone no matter how many times I quit and restart the app to attempt a force sync. Once sync works — is fast and flawless, this app will be hard to beat.
The Goldilocks app of repeating tasks
Riptide360
What Else is the right approach to tracking rolling tasks. Watering plants, changing the tooth brush head are tasks you really don’t want rigid in your calendar but need to get done with a certain amount of flexibility. Love that the free version lets you track 8 items with easy to see icons and frequency. Pro/Lifetime gives unlimited.I find it better than using project focused Things or Apple’s limited non repeating Reminders.
Actual helpful tracker

I have tried a couple of these trackers so far but this one kind of stuck to me. Good work!
Great concept but widget doesn’t update
brotherhug
This is a great concept but having to open the app to see what tasks are due is a time-waster. I installed the widget on my “things to do” homepage and was disappointed to learn that it did not update unless I opened the app.
