Monotasker

You have a list. You have time. You're still not checking things off — because picking what to do next is its own obstacle. Monotasker removes that obstacle. It connects to your Apple Reminders and shows you one task, chosen at random. Not a dashboard. Not a priority matrix. Just the next thing. Do it, skip it, or toss it. Monotasker picks another one and waits. It works because you're not building a new system — you're using a list you already have, with one small change: it chooses one thing for you to focus on. Just one thing. And it keeps showing you that same task every time you open the app — until you do it, or decide you're not doing it. - Surfaces one random incomplete task from any Reminders list - Returns to the same task every time you open the app — until you act on it - Complete or delete with a tap — 4-second undo if you change your mind - Shuffle to a different task when you're not feeling this one - No new lists, no new habits, no new system to learn

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monotasker at none against Wallabag Reader's 3. Monotasker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
