Begin every day with a fresh start. Stylus is the task manager for people who are tired of bloated productivity apps. No endless backlogs. No guilt-inducing overdue tasks. Just today's priorities, beautifully organised and ready for action. Most to-do apps bury you in features. Stylus takes a different approach: it helps you focus on what matters right now. HOW IT WORKS Daily Review: Every morning, Stylus presents yesterday's unfinished tasks and asks one simple question: does this still matter today? This daily ritual keeps your list intentional and your mind clear. No task carries over automatically — you choose what deserves your attention. One Thing at a Time: Stylus is organised around your priorities. Work through tasks in order, stay present with what's in front of you, and move on. Helpful friction prevents needless over-tracking and keeps you focused on positive action. Rapid Capture: When something pops into your head, get it into Stylus instantly. Capture thoughts before they disappear, then prioritise them during your next review. DEEPLY INTEGRATED Stylus can't be compared to a web app — it's woven into the way you already use your devices. - Control Centre: Check off tasks without even opening the app - Live Activities: See your current task right on your Lock Screen - Widgets: Track your progress at a glance from your Home Screen - Siri & Shortcuts: Add tasks with your voice or automate your workflow - iCloud Sync: Seamless across iPhone, iPad, and Mac Stylus is deliberately simple. There are no Gantt charts, no collaboration features, no project management overhead. If you've ever abandoned a to-do app because it felt like a second job to maintain, Stylus was built for you. - Smart prioritisation that adapts as your day evolves - Gentle reminders that keep you on track without adding stress - A beautiful, distraction-free interface designed for iOS 26 - Markdown notes for adding context to any task - Search and diary features to look back on what you've accomplished FLEXIBLE PLANS Stylus is free to use. Upgrade to Stylus Premium for the full experience, including unlimited tasks, advanced widgets, and priority support. Available as monthly, annual, or lifetime plans — with Family Sharing support. Start today. Focus on what matters.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scoreboards at none against Stylus's 6. Stylus's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
