## What is Nopad?

Nopad is a to-do list that holds your attention until the list is done.

PAUSE THE SCROLL
Choose the apps that cost you the most time. While tasks remain, Nopad keeps them shut using Apple's Screen Time. Finish the day and they come back, with a screen that makes it feel like something you earned, because it was. There's an emergency override on the Home Screen if you genuinely need in.

FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS
Nopad shows one day at a time. What's left is the only number that matters, and it sits at the top of the screen where you can't miss it.
Tag a task "must do today" and it moves to the top group, where it stays until it's done.

SAY IT INSTEAD
Tap the mic and talk: "Call the landlord tomorrow, urgent, and pick up my prescription." Nopad splits it into tasks, sets the day and the urgency, and adds them. Or ask Siri: "Add to Nopad." Recognition runs on your phone and nothing is sent anywhere.

NOTHING SLIPS
Whatever you don't finish rolls to tomorrow, guilt-free. No angry red badges, no re-typing, no pile of overdue items. Yesterday's leftovers simply show up on today's list and you decide what still matters.

TRACK YOUR STREAK
A calendar of the days you closed out, form chains of perfect weeks and perfect months to earn Time Tokens which repair incomplete days in your calendar. 

BUILT TO BE LOOKED AT
Six hand-tuned palettes, light and dark, and a Home and Lock Screen widget that shows the day's progress at a glance. (More to come!)

GET SERIOUS 
Everything above is Nopad Pro: one subscription, monthly or yearly, and each plan starts with a free trial, 7 days on yearly and 3 days on monthly. Cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Privacy: your tasks and data stay on your device. Nopad does not store, collect, or sell your data.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-23

Say it and it's on your list.

NEW
• Voice: tap the mic and say your tasks. "Call the landlord tomorrow, urgent: pick up my prescription." Nopad splits them, sets the day and the urgency, and adds them. Recognition runs on your phone, nothing is sent anywhere.
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Add to Nopad" or "Nopad new task" adds tasks without opening the app.
• Coming up: tasks you plan for later days wait in their own list until their day.
• Re-lock: when earned time or an unlock ends, your apps lock again on time, even if Nopad is closed.
• Reminders: turn on one switch for a morning nudge and an evening check, planned a week ahead.
• Repair a missed day by dragging a Time Token onto it.

BETTER
• A calmer morning: tick off what you already finished and carry the rest.
• Themes now pair a second colour with their main one.
• Carried tasks show where they came from with a small arrow.
• Left-handed mode now mirrors the top bar too.
• The Screen Time block screen is easier to read.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-23

Yesterday's unfinished tasks now show up the moment your day starts, on your widgets as well as in the app, instead of waiting for you to open Nopad. They sit in their own groups, marked with the day they came from, and the morning planner still lets you drop anything that no longer matters.

Long lists scroll properly. To open Your days and Settings, pull down from the progress bar at the top of your list.

Fixed: if you earn app time per task, finishing your list no longer lets your apps lock again later in the day.

New in Settings: Rate Nopad. If the app has earned a few stars, that is where to leave them.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-09

Blocking now works the way it always should have.

If you set up Focus during onboarding, blocking was left switched off, so your chosen apps were never actually blocked. That is fixed, for new and existing users alike.

Fixed too: if you already subscribe, reinstalling now takes you straight into the app instead of stopping at the subscription screen.

New: earn app time per task. Turn it on in Settings and finishing a task unlocks your apps for 5 to 60 minutes. Anything marked "must do today" comes first.

Also: everyone gets four Time Tokens to start, tap any figure on Your days to see how it is counted, tap a day in the calendar to see what was on it, tap a group heading to add a task there, and the morning now opens with what you missed rather than an empty list.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-04

No release notes.
