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.

~ Look, we'll keep this short: Shortify™ summarizes anything, including Youtube, articles, PDFs, blogs, documents, and more. It works in all your favorite apps. ~ Why? Because it saves you a bunch of time, and your time is super valuable. ~ Examples? • 15 min Youtube videos from friends ("you gotta watch this!") • Clearing out your backlog of 500 tabs ("I’ll read this one day") • Blog posts/thinkpieces that have a bit too much history • Sites/apps that are too cluttered (skips the ads/plugins) • Getting the gist of an article before committing to reading it ~ How? Open your favorite app or site, tap the Share button, and tap Shortify. ~ What else? You can get an even shorter summary. You can share your Shorts. You can see your stats, like time saved. ~ Pricing? You get 100 Shorts for free, then you pay for what you use. With 1000 Shorts at a reading speed of 238 wpm (Brysbaert 2019), you’ll get about 72 hours of your life back for the cost of 2 coffees. ~ Privacy? We don't collect any personal data. We don't use third-party trackers, ads, or any of those invasive things. There's no account signup, so there's nothing to delete. ~ I got other questions? johnny@shortifyapp.com
