Forget, freeze, or drown in to-dos? ActuallyDoIt shows one task at a time and nudges you, gently or relentlessly, until it's actually done. Free, private, no account.
Some days the hardest part isn't doing the thing, it's deciding what to do, remembering it exists,
and not drowning in everything else. ActuallyDoIt is a to-do app for exactly those days.
Instead of a bottomless list, it shows you ONE thing to do right now and can persistently remind you to get stuff done.
ONE THING AT A TIME
• A single "Doing now" card keeps you on one task with a big Done button and a guilt-free "Can't do this now" escape.
• A "Today" view that only shows what needs doing today. No more overwhelming list of everything.
• "Suggested next" shows a short, curated preview of what's coming, never the whole backlog.
• A day-progress ring shows what you've already knocked out today.
NUDGES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
• Choose how hard each task nudges you: Gentle (one morning reminder), Persistent (a few through the day), or Relentless (every hour, 9am–9pm, until it's done).
• Reminders stop the moment you finish. No nagging about things you've already handled.
• A friendly morning digest tells you what's on your plate for the day.
CAN'T DECIDE? LET THE APP CHOOSE
• Tap "Pick for me" and ActuallyDoIt suggests one task to start that fits in the time you have, beating the decision paralysis when everything feels equally impossible.
CHORES & ROUTINES
• Set recurring chores (daily, weekly, monthly, or every few days) that quietly come back when they're due.
• Going away? Pause a chore so it stops nagging until you're back.
ORGANIZED, LIGHTLY
• Tag tasks (Home, Work, Admin…) and filter down to just what matters.
• Add a time estimate, so you can pick something that fits the time you actually have.
• A Lock Screen Live Activity and Home Screen widget keep your current task in view.
• Location based tasks for when you need a reminder at a place.
• Checklists for when your tasks have tasks.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.
• Your tasks sync across your devices through your own iCloud.
• Free to use, with an optional tip if it helps you.
Built for anyone whose brain gets overwhelmed easily, but genuinely useful for anyone who wants to
stop managing a list and start finishing things.
