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.
ADD IT ONCE
• Every task lives in one place. Lists and goals don't hold their own copies. They gather tasks you already have.
• The same task can sit in a list and a goal at the same time. Tick it off anywhere and it's done everywhere.
• Gather tasks into a goal with one deadline and watch its progress fill up (Plus), or share a list with your household (Plus).
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.
ACTUALLYDOIT PLUS
• Most of ActuallyDoIt is free. Plus adds quick add in plain language, a daily brain dump that suggests tasks, goals, shared lists, and Siri & Shortcuts.
• Subscribe monthly or yearly (the yearly plan starts with a 1-month free trial), or pay once for lifetime access.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Family Sharing is supported.
Built for anyone whose brain gets overwhelmed easily, but genuinely useful for anyone who wants to stop managing a list and start finishing things.
