Tweek: Minimal To Do List 4+

There are so many more feature-filled apps to plan a week, and I continue to use some of them. But to sit down and list everything I need to get done in the week, then drag and drop them until the week makes sense, that's how I use Tweek. There is nothing better.

Besides it's simplicity, I love that the web app and the iPhone app both allow me to look at pretty much the same thing. On the web app, you can see the week at a glance but even on my smaller iPhone, I can see multiple days on the screen. The point for me when I'm deciding what to plan for each day is to look at the week as a whole. I can scroll through the week, which is helpful. Some other weekly apps make you swipe from one day to the next, which makes dragging and dropping to rearrange tasks to be a little more awkward.

Tweek is the way to plan the week!

Thank you so much for such amazing feedback and for choosing Tweek 💖

I love the simplicity of this app and how I can view the weekly layout along with my other lists all on one page on a computer so everything is always in front of my face. I jump back and forth between Tweek and TeuxDeux because there are features of this app I love and features I feel like TeuxDeux does better. Tweek does better in that I can have sub tasks, notes, colors, syncs with g-cal and repeated tasks. I also love how tweek has a Lock Screen widget and beautiful iOS home screen widgets. Where TeuxDeux does better is that if I have a repeated task that I want to move, I can drag it to a different day one week and have it stay the same on the next week. On Tweek that is not an option. Repeating tasks must stay on the same day each week and cannot be moved. Another thing TeuxDeux does better is in the language processing for repeated tasks and that I can set the occurrence more precisely ie every 3 weeks or every 6 months instead of just every week or every month like Tweek. Lastly I love that TeuxDeux has an email that I can send ideas to and it adds it to that days task list. I mostly use this to add tasks when on Apple Watch and would love if Tweek incorporated a way to quick add tasks on the go. I feel like if Tweek had better reoccurring task functions it would be the one I stuck with for sure. I still love this app and think it is almost there. It makes task management so simple almost like a bullet journal/paper planner.

Thank you so much for such comprehensive feedback! Yes, the recurring tasks are already on our roadmap for future updates as well as the Apple Watch app. Thanks for the great ideas, we're trying our best to implement them and make Tweek better😉👍

Tweek is awesome if you don’t really need anything powerful for recurring tasks. I like Tweek a lot. It has a distinct personality and clear perspective on managing tasks. It turns out it does not match my perspective, so I’ve struggled to use it. For one, there’s not a great way to inbox tasks to later triage. You can, theoretically, add them to “someday,” but this is somewhat tedious (constantly scrolling down, etc). In general, input feels slightly more tedious than it should be when you want to move fast, and woefully incomplete when you need more structure and detail. Also, can set up recurring tasks, but you cannot defer them. When the date is passed for other tasks, you can set them to persist in your subsequent days, which is great. But not recurring tasks, which is less great. In addition to all of that, the app (both iOS and web) is buggy in some predictable ways. For example, if you create a recurring task with lots of subtasks, it will crash the app. Every time you complete a subtask it will check with you if you want to check that subtask for every future instantiation of that subtask. I get how this could be the case, but it’s not, so I want it to stop. I think what I’m realizing as I type all of this, and I’ll add to the top, is that Tweek is awesome if you don’t really need anything powerful for recurring tasks.

Updated review score to reflect my satisfaction with a delightful developer response.

Thank you so much for such comprehensive feedback!

Tweek was originally intended to be a simple, minimalist app for to-do lists, this is the concept behind Tweek. But you can adapt it, for example for GTD, we have an article — https://scadalv.medium.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-getting-things-done-method-with-examples-1fc9b4a84a50

Regarding the mechanism of adding subtasks to recurring tasks - it's normal, that's how the modification of recurring tasks works, as the list of subtasks is stored inside a particular task 👍
