The simplest and smoothest todo list for daily tasks. - No ads - No signup required - No subscription or payments How do you use Daylist? 1. Create lists for today with one tap - Grocery shopping, work tasks or anything else. 2. Write down the tasks you’d like to get done 3. Want to be reminded of a task? No problem, just another tap for that. 4. When you’re done with your task, check it off in the app. You’re going to love this step ;) You’ll have a fresh start each day - no need to manage long term lists. That’s it, nothing more, nothing less. Daily lists, as minimalistic and smooth as it gets. NO SIGNUP OR SPAM You just get right into the app. We don’t need to know your email or anything else for that matter. Also, anything you enter in the app stays right there, we don’t send your data to god knows where. Privacy first! NO SUBSCRIPTIONS Try the app for a week, and if it’s what you’re looking for, then you can continue using it forever with a one time purchase. Oh yea, no ads either. If you’re not sold by now, just give it a go. The app does a way better job of showing how wonderful todo lists can be than I can describe in text.

TomatoFlex is a productivity app based on the pomodoro time management technique - focusing on simplicity. It comes with a standalone Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad and Mac app, synchronised when used together. Features: - 3 different Apple Watch complication types, supporting all watch faces - 5 different types of iOS widgets - Work/break settings from 1 minute to 90 minutes - Apple Watch alarm and actionable iOS notifications - Seamless synronisation of your session and statistics across all the supported devices - Smart statistics which automatically groups sets and detects breaks - Unlimited statistics history which you can export to csv - Hourly productive breakdown and daily focus time tracking - Stop, Pause and partial pomodoro completion - Skip break when you are in flow - Recents tracking for quick switch between intervals - Add or delete pomodoro completions if you forgot to start tracking - iCloud saving of statistics to never lose your history - iPad multitasking - Light and dark theme - Shortcuts integration More details for black belt pomodoro ninjas: It is flexible because it does not force you into intervals with second precision. It just notifies you about the interval end and you decide when do you want to continue with the next interval. This is more realistic in a real world scenario as you might need an extra minute or so to complete your current work before you want to go for a break. It is a similar experience as a traditional analog pomodoro timer. Our statistics module can figure out what counts as a set or break, so you still get the same insight and discipline for your focused work. If you have any question don't hesitate to reach us at [company@talkingchickenfriend.com](mailto:company@talkingchickenfriend.com) "The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for 'tomato', after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student." - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Daylist at 4.7 against TomatoFlex's 4.2. Daylist also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (88 vs 12). TomatoFlex's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (86% vs 69%). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Daylist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daylist has 88 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Daylist's written reviews are positive against 86% of TomatoFlex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Daylist ships an update every 9 days, TomatoFlex every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
