About

TOIDO

Your to-do list should be the answer to a question. When everything feels urgent and nothing moves forward, it's usually because your tasks have drifted away from why they exist. TOIDO is a to-do app that starts with the question. You frame the real issues as questions, hang tasks beneath them, and focus on the few questions that actually change things. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Start with the question Write issues as questions ("How do we…?", "Is it true that…?") and give each one a working hypothesis. Tasks become the moves that test that hypothesis — not a pile of disconnected chores. • Prioritize by impact, not urgency Rank issues by leverage — how much changes once the question is answered. Pick one or two questions to own this week and go deep. • GO — today's moves first Launch straight into your open to-dos, paired with the questions they serve. Today's moves sit on top, ordered by impact. • Answer the question When the work is done, turn your hypothesis into a conclusion and close the question for good. Answered questions stay, with their answers. • Inbox — capture without sorting Dump any thought straight into the Inbox. Later, ask "what's the question?" and connect it to an issue — or let it go, guilt-free. • Weekly review Clear floating tasks, revisit your questions, choose next week's focus. Anything you drop is logged and can come back anytime. • iCloud sync Your issues and tasks stay in sync across iPhone and Mac on the same Apple ID. • English & Japanese. Light & dark. Sidebar and keyboard shortcuts on Mac. You do the thinking. TOIDO just hands you the structure — and the question.
