Many tasks. Nothing done. A long list pulls you in every direction. TODO 3 gives you three, and shows you one at a time. HOW IT WORKS • Each morning, choose your 3. Hold to commit. • Focus on one task. When it's done, press and hold the card. • Finish all three and you've won the day. That's the whole app. BUILT FOR FOCUS • One task on screen at a time, nothing else competing for you • Optional focus timer for deep work blocks • First tiny step: break a dreaded task into something you can start now • Later: park stray ideas without losing your place • Swap a task or drop it for today, no guilt • Spot tasks that keep getting postponed KEEPS YOU GOING • Streaks and days won • Pull one more bonus task on a good day • A morning nudge to choose your 3, and an evening one only if something is left CALM BY DESIGN • Paper and Ink themes, gentle sounds • No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device. TODO 3 PRO • History calendar and insights • Choose when your day starts (great for night owls and shift work) • Colour palettes • Home screen widget Terms of Use: https://mygems.app/term Privacy Policy: https://mygems.app/privacy

Nothing here is ever "overdue." ProgressCove is the to-do app that never guilts you. A task with a date that passed is simply ongoing. No red, no badges, no pile-up. Dates are optional. Your pace is the right pace. A home for everything. Life areas hold projects. Projects hold tasks. Tasks break into subtasks. Onboarding builds your structure with you in about a minute, or skip it and use a plain simple list. It grows when you're ready. Progress you can see. Complete small things and watch progress bars fill. Your closest-to-finished work floats to the top, so you always know where to start. We count what's done, never what's looming. No streaks to lose. Never carry it all alone. One subscription covers your whole household. Share the groceries and the chores with full editing for everyone, while everything you don't share stays private. See who grabbed the milk. Calm by design. No shouting, no nagging, no hustle. A quiet today view, gentle reminders, and a to-do list that's on your side. Your data is yours. Everything you type is encrypted at rest on our servers, exportable anytime. Never locked in. Free for 14 days with everything unlocked, no card needed. Then $4.99/month or $39.99/year for the whole household. Progress over perfection. Always.
