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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Eventually at 4.6 against Stylus's 3.0. Eventually also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). Stylus's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Eventually sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stylus sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Eventually holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Eventually's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stylus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Eventually ships an update every 3 days, Stylus every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
