NowStack
The focus task stack
Free · In‑App Purchases
NowStack turns your to-do list into a stack — and puts one task on top: NOW.
Instead of staring at forty things, you see the one that matters. Do it, and the next rises to the top. No projects to configure, no due-date guilt, no endless nesting. Just momentum.
HOW IT WORKS
• Push a task onto the stack — type it, add #tags inline.
• The top card is your NOW. Everything else waits its turn.
• Finish it with one tap; the next task takes its place.
• Bump any task to the top the moment priorities change.
FOCUS TIMER
Give the current task 5, 10, 25, 50 minutes, or an hour. NowStack counts down and nudges you when time's up — a built-in time-box without the ceremony.
STAY ON TOP OF IT
• Tag and group tasks (#work, #home, #calls).
• Drag to reorder; drop a task on top to make it NOW.
• Set an Apple Reminder or block time on your Calendar.
• Open links right from a task, and share anything into NowStack from Safari and other apps.
SYNCS WITH YOUR MAC
NowStack keeps your stack in sync across iPhone, iPad, and the NowStack Mac app over iCloud. Start on your phone, finish at your desk.
Free for everyday stacks. A one-time unlock adds the focus timer, reminders, calendar, and export — no subscription, ever.
Stop managing your list. Start doing the next thing.

Ratings & Reviews

IMAGES ON TASKS
Attach a picture to a task and it shows in the row, a tap from full size. Images stay on the device they were added to.
TAGS THAT DO MORE
Filter the stack down to one tag when it gets busy, and set an auto-tag so every task you add carries it without typing it twice.
SHARE A STACK
Publish your stack as a link anyone can open — and revoke it whenever you like.
ROOM TO WRITE
The add field takes as much text as the thought needs, instead of a single line.
THE ONE THAT MATTERS
A task marked very important now stays impossible to miss anywhere in the stack.
RENAME IN PLACE
Rename a task where it sits, instead of opening a sheet for it.
