Most todo apps give you lots of features to organize your todos. But you don't want to be spending time organizing your todos: you want to be completing them. Surely is a focused todo app giving you just the features you need to get your todos done. There are only three things you can do with a todo: * Complete it * Delete it * Defer it Here are all the features Surely doesn't have because they encourage you to keep more todos instead of completing them: * Separate defer dates and due dates * Complex ways of searching for todos * Separate lists of todos so you aren't looking at all of them at once * Bulk defer features. It should not be painless to defer many todos to the future; it should be painful to work with multiple todos so that you complete or delete them Surely is available for free on both iOS and the web.

Write one line. LogBooklet remembers when and where. LogBooklet is a journal for iPhone and iPad. Type a thought, tap send, and the entry keeps the date, the time and the place on its own. No fields, no forms. ONE BOOKLET PER THING YOU KEEP TRACK OF A diary. The meals worth remembering. The plants. Quotes you want to keep. Make as many booklets as you like. The list shows how each one's latest entry begins, when you wrote it, and how many entries it holds. THE BEST PART COMES YEARS LATER Switch on time between entries for a booklet, and every entry shows the gap since the one before it. 9 days since you watered the fig. 6 weeks since you called your brother. 4 months since the last headache like this one. WHAT'S INSIDE • Unlimited booklets • Date and time on every entry, plus your coordinates when location access is on • Snippets for the lines you write again and again: log one with a tap, or drop it into what you're typing • Search everything in a booklet • Edit anything: the text, the timestamp, or drag the pin on the map • Text you haven't sent yet stays in its booklet and follows you to your other devices • Export a booklet as a plain-text Markdown file • Sync between iPhone and iPad through iCloud NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR No account and no LogBooklet server.
