## What is WhatsNext task manager?

WhatsNext is a beautifully simple task manager designed around one question: what should you do next?

Unlike complex todo apps that overwhelm you with features, WhatsNext uses just two lists:

NEXT — Tasks that need your attention now
LATER — Tasks scheduled for a future date

HOW IT WORKS

Add a task and it goes straight to your Next list. Need to defer something? Snooze it to Later with a specific date. When that date arrives, the task automatically moves back to Next.

Type naturally — "Call mom tomorrow" or "Submit report next Friday" — and WhatsNext understands. It extracts dates from your text so you can capture tasks in seconds.

KEY FEATURES

• Two-list simplicity — No folders, tags, or priorities to manage
• Natural language dates — Just type "tomorrow" or "next week"
• Automatic promotion — Snoozed tasks return to Next when due
• Recurring tasks — Set monthly or annual repeats for regular commitments
• Cloud sync — Sign in with Google to sync across devices
• Daily digest — Optional morning notification with your Next tasks
• Quick capture — macOS menu bar access for instant task entry
• Glassmorphic design — Clean, modern interface that stays out of your way

PERFECT FOR

• People overwhelmed by complex task managers
• Anyone who wants a clear answer to "what's next?"
• Those who think in terms of "now" vs "not yet"

WhatsNext respects your focus. No badges. No overdue guilt. Just a clear list of what needs your attention right now.
