2Do vs Daybearing

"2Do adapts to my needs, not the other way around. 2Do gets me." — MacStories 2Do is a to do list, task manager and daily planner in one, with a simple, fluid interface wrapped around a deep and flexible set of features. Keep a quick checklist, run a full GTD® system, or anything in between: there is no wrong way to use 2Do, and it never forces a methodology on you. One-time purchase. No subscription, no account to create, no strings attached. TYPE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT • New: natural language input. Type "Call the dentist tomorrow at 3pm #health" and 2Do fills in the due date, time and tag as you type • It reads dates, times, repeats, alerts, durations, priorities, tags, lists and saved locations, in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Russian CAPTURE ANYTHING, FAST • Quick Add: touch and hold [+] and file task after task, with dates, tags and lists as you type • Siri & Shortcuts: add tasks by voice, or wire 2Do into routines that do the whole job • Widgets, Lock Screen and Control Center, so capture never waits for the app • Mail to 2Do: your device gets a private email address, and anything you send it lands as a task, checklist and all • A GTD® Inbox for everything not yet sorted SIMPLE TASKS, OR AS MUCH MORE AS YOU NEED • Start with a task, grow it into a checklist or a project with sub-tasks • Notes in Markdown, styled as you type, with links collected for you • Flexible repeats, start dates that hide tasks until they matter, durations, and actions that make the next call or message one tap away • Attach images and voice notes SMART LISTS: SAVED SEARCHES WITH SUPERPOWERS • Search across titles, notes, tags and dates; sounds-like matching finds it even when you can't spell it • Save any search as a one-tap view: your weekly review, stalled projects, errands nearby • Focus filter: set a rule per list and one tap hides everything that can wait TAGS THAT SORT EVERYTHING • One tap on a tag filters your day to that context; Tag Groups keep big collections tidy • Pause a tag and every task carrying it steps out of view, hidden, not deleted, until you're ready NEVER MISS A THING • Stack multiple alerts on a task and let 2Do nag until it's done • On iOS 26.1 and later, an alert can ring like a Clock alarm: full screen, through Silent mode, until you answer • Nearby: location reminders that fire when you're close enough to actually do the task • See your calendar events right above your tasks, so plans never collide SYNC YOUR WAY Most apps decide where your data lives. 2Do thinks that's your call: • iCloud: uses the account already on your device; syncs tasks, Smart Lists, tags, groups and attachments • Apple Reminders: your tasks live in Reminders too, so Siri and everything that reads Reminders can see them • Todoist: connect your account and run your Todoist projects right inside 2Do • Dropbox, Toodledo, Fastmail, or any CalDAV server you trust, including one you run yourself • When two devices meet, 2Do can merge them instead of making you pick a winner • 2Do for Mac is available separately, so your lists follow you to the desktop MADE FOR ONE HAND • Slide between your lists, tasks and a utility panel with Tags, Nearby and Calendar Events; one thumb runs all three • Pinch to zoom between three levels of detail • Quick Open: type a few letters, land on any task or list • Batch edit and drag & drop: defer, tag or move a whole stack of tasks in one go YOURS, PRIVATELY • Lock individual lists or the whole app • Automatic backups, with single-list restore for the day something goes wrong • Share lists over Wi-Fi with other 2Do users nearby, no cloud in between • Independent light and dark themes • Apple Watch app with complications 2Do has been refined over years of careful work, with feedback from students, parents, professionals and lifelong list-keepers along the way. Use it as a simple list, or push it into full GTD® territory. Either way, it's ready.

Daybearing is a clock face for your day. Say what you are doing and how long you think it will take. Tasks fill the current hour as you go and turns as you run over — one glance, not a number to read. HOW IT WORKS Type what you want to get done, one task at a time. Tap Start. When you finish a task, tap Complete — and the next task begins. The dial is a real clock face, and your tasks sit on it where they will actually happen. See the plan for the next hour, any planned work beyond that is shown as you mark tasks complete. WHAT THE COLORS MEAN Orange means you are over your estimate but the task is still running — over, and still fixable. It turns red once you complete an overrunning task, because by then the overrun is a fact rather than a situation. The pace chip shows how far ahead or behind your plan you are, green for ahead, red for behind. Three minutes under reads as −3, in green, three minutes ahead of schedule. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO There is no pause. Daybearing shows your work against reality, and time doesn't stop. A timer you can stop measures how long you had it running, not how long the work took. If you need to stop working on something, Set Down ends the session, logs time for the part you actually did, and returns the remainder to the queue. There are no subtasks, tags, categories or statistics screens. No clutter, just what you need to stay on track. PRIVACY No account is required. Your tasks and history are stored locally on your iPhone. There is NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO IN-APP PURCHASE and NO ADVERTISING. You pay once. ALSO IN THE APP • A Live Activity for the running task — on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, on supported Apple Watch and Mac configurations — with a Complete button on the Lock Screen, so you can finish without opening the app. • Lock Screen widgets: how far ahead or behind the day is, the task in hand, and what comes next. • Shortcut support! Ask Siri to start your next task, complete it, add one, or say how you are doing — for the moment your hands are already off the phone. • An optional chime when a task reaches its estimate. • Batch entry for repeated work: set a series of tasks quickly, estimate how long each one will take and how long your want to work on them all. • Save tasks to a plan for later, and group future tasks to make repeatable routines. • Export your whole record as tab-separated text, straight to the clipboard. • Six themes, light and dark. • VoiceOver support and adjustable text sizing. iPhone only in this version. iPad is planned.
