User reviews

I love it and it’s so helpful and just what I was looking for <3

I randomly stumbled upon the creator sharing this app on Reddit, and I am hooked (pun intended). My usual to do lists / reminders app on my phone just ends up being a long list of never revisited items. I think the mix of my harder items and my daily items all in my lists overwhelms me. The simplicity of Finlet is the app I have finally totally stuck with the organize my routine. Having an overall list which I can easily move tasks to the “do first/right now” list makes everything feel less daunting and helps get the ball rolling for harder tasks by starting with smaller and achievable items. The more free text flow section saves my general ideas/follow ups that aren’t “check off-able”. I super appreciate that this app is also usable without large purchase needs or subscription etc. as someone with adhd this works with my brain so well and I can’t recommend it enough !
