Doesn’t work

Can’t figure out how to see the done list

Also, I wish the to-do list would let me mark something as done and not “promote” a to-don’t until the next day. Then it becomes a never-ending to-do instead of just three.

Simple & brilliant

When you’re short on time the last thing you want is a complicated app to have to learn how to use. This one is perfect, simple & effective. I use it regularly.

Easy but could be better

Got this app after reading the book. It works as promised but would have appreciated some instructions on how to use it. Or perhaps some moving around of tasks. Nice effort anyways!

Very useful

I got this app while reading Roos’s book, Don’t Read This Book: Time Management for Creative People, and it’s been super helpful in helping me clear the tasks I have stored in my head. It helps you prioritize tasks and mark them as done as well as keeping all of your other tasks on hand to be moved to your prioritized list. I love it and use it every day!
