## What is ActuallyDoIt?

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.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-29

ActuallyDoIt now speaks German, Spanish, French and Dutch.

• Quiet hours: reminders and alerts that would arrive during your quiet hours wait until they end
• Overdue tasks first: Pick for me can choose from your overdue tasks before anything else
• Long checklist items now wrap instead of getting cut off
• Small fixes and polish

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-19

NEW
• Location reminders — nudge a task when you arrive somewhere, or when you leave.
• Checklists — break a task into steps (groceries, packing lists) and tick them off inline.
• Lock Screen widgets — your current task and today's progress, right on the Lock Screen. Home Screen widgets got a refresh too.
• Notification actions — start a task or mark it done straight from the notification.
• Time left today — the day badge now shows how many minutes of work are still on your plate.

IMPROVED
• Creating a task is quicker — nudge times are set right in the sheet and sensibly pre-filled for the day you picked.
• Improved the layout of the create task and task details views.
• Done and "Doing now" are at the top of a task's details, so acting on a notification is one tap.
• Calendar events now finish at the nudge time and start your estimated time earlier, so the slot reflects the work.
• The time estimate picker goes further, with the top option now ">= 120 min".
• The tutorial covers calendar integration.

FIXED
• An overdue chore now clears in a single tap instead of one per missed cycle — and no longer shows up twice on the Now screen.
• Opening an overdue chore's details no longer quietly skipped it to its next occurrence.
• Completing a task from the widget now stops its reminders straight away.
• The morning digest's task count stays accurate as you add and finish work during the day.
• "Pick for me" no longer suggests chores that aren't due yet.
• Extra "before due" alerts are capped so they can't crowd out the day's nudges.
• The upcoming timeline stops loading instead of paging forever.
• Live Activities left behind by a crash are now cleared on next launch.
• Live Activities and widgets use the app's accent colour instead of the default blue.
• Nudge times can't be set out of order any more.

### 1.1.9 — 2026-09-12

No release notes.
