You checked it off. But did you actually do it? Crossing something out is easy. Doing it is the hard part. dottodash is the to-do list built to close that gap — here, a tap alone won't clear anything. ■ Finish it for real Give a task the ending it actually deserves. Nine of them to pick from. · Knock it out — Count / Hold / Shake · Lock in — Timer / Stay / Flip · Leave a mark — Photo / Sign / Type "Eight glasses of water" takes eight taps. "Study 30 minutes" waits for the timer. "Do the dishes" wants a photo. Lying to yourself gets inconvenient. ■ Home Screen widgets — without opening the app Three sizes. The day fills in as you finish things. Tap a task to jump straight to it, and plain to-dos you can clear right from the widget. Tasks with a finishing move won't clear there — those you have to actually do. ■ Today's fortune — it picks what you start with Pull one in the morning and three of today's tasks come back marked lucky. No more standing in front of the list, deciding. Clear all three and the luck gauge fills. ■ The AI diary — your day, written up At night an AI looks at what you finished and what you dodged, then writes the day back to you. Entries stack into a weekly timeline in the Calendar tab, and anything you closed with a photo or a signature becomes the image of that day. Thin days stay short. Good days get quiet credit. It does not flatter you. ■ The weekly report — plan next to reality Once a week, what you said you'd do sits beside what you actually did — by name, in your own words. If the goal was studying and the week went to feeding the cat, that's what it says. Less a confession, more a dashboard. ■ No account. No sign-in. Install and start. Your tasks and photos stay on your device and your own iCloud. When the diary or the fortune is written, photos, signatures, and location are never sent, and sensitive task titles are stripped on your device before anything leaves. ■ Pro — free for 7 days · All 9 ways to finish · A nightly AI diary · Today's fortune and its lucky picks · The weekly report · 6 themes · 4 app icons · No ads Everything is open for seven days. Nothing is charged today, and you can cancel anytime.
