TONT: Todo or Not Todo Groups
Work, home, side hustle.
$6.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 4.0. Give work, home and your side hustle their own colour and four buckets. Swipe the bottom bar to switch. A short tour shows you how.
todo or not todo. That is the question.
Most to-do apps want you to open them. TONT would rather you did not. Start a task and it follows you to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, timer ticking, until you pause it or finish it. Pay once. It's yours.
LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
Swipe a task right and it gets a card on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a live timer. Pause, resume or finish it from the card. Up to three tasks can run at once, each with its own card, and each card says how many others are running.
THE TIMER
The timer runs in the background. Pause it, come back an hour later, resume, and it adds up only the time you actually worked. Keep a task running for days and it counts the days.
FOUR BUCKETS, NO FOLDERS
Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming, Someday. That is the whole filing system. A task made in Today is due two hours from now, unless it is late at night, in which case it waits for 8 AM. Tomorrow means 9 AM. Upcoming means a week out. Someday has no date and no pressure.
Need Work and Home kept apart? Swipe past your last group to make a new one. Each group gets a name, a colour and its own four buckets.
SUBTASKS
Long press a task to break it into steps. The parent shows how many are done. Finish the parent and the steps go with it.
APPLE REMINDERS, BOTH WAYS
One switch in Settings. Your tasks appear in a TONT list in Apple Reminders with their group name in front, and anything you add there comes back into the app.
REMINDERS THAT HELP YOU START
Five kinds, each with its own switch. Time to Start is timed from how long the task takes. Daily Plan is one calm note each morning. Rescue nudges you once when a task slips, then follows up after a day, three days and a week. Deadlines ring at the due time. Fresh Start welcomes you back after time away.
Act from the notification: start now, snooze, mark it done, or move it to today, tomorrow or Someday.
LEARN IT IN A MINUTE
New in 4.0. A walkthrough that runs on your real list, not on slides. It dims the screen, cuts a hole around one control, and waits for you to do the real thing. Nine things, about a minute:
- Tap + to create a task
- Tap it to edit the title or time
- Swipe right to start the timer
- Lock your screen and find it there
- Tap the circle to finish. Done tasks stay until midnight
- Tap the trash on a finished task, or swipe left on an unfinished one
- Swipe the bottom bar past your last group to make a new one
- Swipe the bar the other way to see all your groups
- Pull the title down, hard, and let go
Skip on any step. Replay it from Settings whenever you like.
HISTORY
Tap the clock to see what you finished, when you started and how long it took. A calendar view shows the pattern by day. Groups show up there too.
NOTHING IN THE WAY
Black screen, dark mode only. No ads, no accounts, no sign-up. The first time you open it, a one-minute walkthrough shows you the nine gestures. Skip it if you like. After that, open the app, see your tasks, get to work.

Nine gestures. One minute. Then we get out of the way.
TONT has always been quick once you know it. The problem was the knowing. 4.0 fixes that with a walkthrough that appears once, on your first open, and shows you the nine gestures one spotlight at a time, on your real list. Create, edit, start, see it on the Lock Screen, finish, delete, make a group, find your groups, and one you may not have found yet.
If you already know them, tap Skip. It will not ask again. Upgrading from an earlier version? You will not see it at all unless you ask, from Replay walkthrough in Settings.
ALSO IN 4.0
• Groups. Swipe past your last group to make a new one, give it a name and a colour, and it gets its own Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming and Someday. Move a task between groups from the long-press menu.
• Three Live Activities at once. Each running task gets its own card, and each card says how many others are running. Tap a paused card to resume it. Tap any card and the app opens on that task.
• Overdue follow-ups. A task that slips gets one nudge, then a reminder after a day, three days and a week, with Set to Today right on the notification.
• Notifications lead with the group name, and tapping one opens the task it names.
• Daily Plan now alternates a reflective note with a plain "do this first".
• Copy a task's text from the long-press menu.
• Tap outside a text field, or swipe down, to put the keyboard away.
• On iPhone, the app stays in portrait.
FIXES
• A long title stays inside its Live Activity card instead of pushing it apart.
• The Live Activity timer keeps its size across the hour mark, and keeps counting past 24 hours.
• Paused time is no longer counted twice when a task resumes.
• Deleting a task ends its Live Activity, and its subtasks' cards too.
• Deleting a group asks first, even when the group is empty.
• A database that fails to open is set aside and kept, never wiped.
• A task goes overdue once per deadline, not once per launch.
• Overdue notifications show the task title and nothing else.
• Renaming a group updates every reminder that names it.
• A vertical drag that starts on a task row scrolls the list.
• Analytics no longer takes screenshots of your sessions.
