## What is Uphill?

A productivity app that doesn't lie to you.
Add tasks. Give each a weight (1–999). Push them up the screen to complete them. Feel the resistance. The heavier the task, the harder the push.
No gamification tricks. No motivational lies. No data collected. Just the work.

FREE
- Up to 10 active tasks
- Push-to-complete - drag tasks upward against real resistance
- Daily Fresh Start - optional daily reset wipes everything at the hour you choose
- Oblique Notifications - 55 absurdist reminders at random times
- Memento Mori Widget - home screen and lock screen widgets showing how much of your day is already gone
- Configurable haptics
