DoNow — What to do now
Capture. Order. Record.
Free
Capture tasks instantly and complete them in order with Shortcuts, widgets, Live Activities, system sharing, and attachment sync between iPhone and Mac.
DoNow is not another to-do list.
The problem with most to-do apps: you list 50 things, stare at all 50, and do none of them. The longer the list, the harder it is to start.
DoNow answers one question: what do I do now?
Three steps, from mess to motion:
1 / Inbox
Dump anything on your mind. No categories, no priorities. Just empty your head.
2 / Workbench
Pull out what you'll actually work on and lay it out in order. You face a few things, not fifty.
The one on top is marked "Do this now" — the only thing you need to think about.
3 / Timeline
Finished tasks sink into the timeline with a timestamp. Proof the day wasn't wasted.
— Keep "what now" in front of you —
• Live Activity & Dynamic Island: the current task stays on your screen, no need to open the app
• Mac menu bar: always shows "DoNow: xxx" at a glance
• Complete it right from the Live Activity — the next one takes its place
— Also —
• iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
• Task reminders
• Follows your system language: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean
• Dark mode
• Minimal design. No ads, no account, no subscription
• Collects nothing. Your tasks live only in your own iCloud
Lists are meant to be emptied, not collected.
Now — do the first one.
