Show a single task on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Add some tasks to the app and then add the widget. Simply tap the widget to mark the task as completed. The next task will then appear. You can change the order the tasks will be chosen in the widget configuration. The simplicity is a feature. The app will not have things like folders, tags, priority, notes, etc. The optimal workflow is to add only the tasks you are committed to completing today. The app is designed for task completion, not endless organization and neglect. Syncs seamlessly across your devices with iCloud. « You can achieve almost anything if you focus on one thing at a time » — Someone on the internet Known issue: If you long-press a task while the text field is focused, the keyboard will hide, but not the text field. This is an iOS bug. Instead, dissmiss the keyboard by scrolling first and then long-press a task. ■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.

Simplest way to be productive
Aug 11

This is a fantastic app. It has a functional Apple Watch interface. I usually create tiny tasks out of big ones to progress and this has been instrumental in keeping me off my phone. Checking phone every few minutes is annoying for task management. So, I note down on paper stuff that I have to do today and then as I go through the day I create tiny tasks on this app on the watch.I also like that you can read the whole task description on the watch screen. Not many apps have that.

Such a simple idea, but a total and utter game changer. If you use full sceen, I'd recommend adding it to your Notification Center widgets so you can have access to all your tasks whilst in full screen with a simple slide from right-to-left. Would be cool if it could be integrated with the developer's awesome One Thing app, since I'm sort of using it for the same thing. But they could be used differently depending on how you think of it. If you have One Thing and love it, you'll probably love this even more. I'm going to see if I can somehow automatically pull all my Today tasks from Trello into the app on startup using Keyboard Maestro or some other app.

Finally found the app I’ve been wanting!

I’ve been looking for an app like this forever, I’m so glad to have found it. I used to use NowDoThis, which was beautifully elegant and simple, but it disappeared many years ago. One feature I’d love to see (I recognize that the beauty of this app is its simplicity) is the ability to randomize the list. For me, often the order doesn’t matter, and randomizing takes the pressure off of having to come up with the perfect sequence of tasks. It also injects a little bit of surprise. Thanks for the app!

You can choose random order in the widget configuration.

This is great for people that might get overwhelmed when they have a ton of tasks on their list! I was diagnosed with ADHD about 20 years ago and it definitely has helped my productivity by being able to only focus on either 1 specific task or a specific step for tasks that have multiple parts. *Shame that the only 2 written reviews on this are for a bug that was fixed fast enough that I didn’t even notice that it was a problem.
