## What is The Big 3?

The Big 3 is a task list app that helps you focus on what’s most important.

Most task manager apps let you list every possible thing that you could want to do. Then, when it’s time to get things done, your list is so long that you can spend more time managing it than checking things off.

The Big 3 takes a different approach.  It lets you focus on the 3 things that you need to do right now.

You plan out your Big 3 goals all at once.

Then you have to either complete each goal, or say that you’re not going to do it today.

You can’t start a new Big 3 until you’ve completed or postponed everything in your current Big 3.

The Big 3 includes a watch app so that you can track and complete your Big 3 on your watch.

It also includes a range of widgets for both the home screen and lock screen.

And it lets you import and track reminders from your Reminders app.

The Big 3 does share your data between your devices, but does not collect or share any of your info ever.

## Key features

- Focus on 3 daily tasks
- Complete or postpone tasks
- Watch app integration
- Home and lock screen widgets
- Import Reminders app data
- Cross-device data sharing

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2025-07-07*

Simple and perfect to track my big 3 priorities everyday. Thanks for making this app!

### 5/5 — 4.8/5

*2025-01-02*

I really wanted to say 5/5, originally closer to a "3" out of five. Until I read the product description a little closer.. 
Very clever in design, you HAVE TO commit (or relinquish) ALL 3!
I use it literally as My BIG 3, not just for daily purposes, but for bigger items. Not in a top-3 bucket list, but what 3 things do I really want to address "right now". 
Excellent in design!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much. Is great to hear when someone finds this useful
