Too many things to do? Which one first? Which Thing First? (WTF?) helps you decide. Instead of staring at a long list, it shows you just two things at a time and asks the one question that cuts through: which thing first? Make a few quick, easy choices and WTF turns them into a clear, ranked order - so you always know what to do next. Love a method like Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen? Even with a great system, one question remains: which thing to get done first? That's the gap WTF fills. It's a refreshingly simple way to prioritize. No due dates to juggle, no system to learn. Just compare, two at a time, and let the ranking fall out - and watch a beautiful animation bring your prioritized list to life. Everything you need, nothing you don't: • Multiple lists - keep separate ones for work, home, what to read next, anything • Share a list - export it as text, copy it, or send its items to Apple Reminders • Siri & Shortcuts - ask for your top thing without opening the app • Available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish • A fast, clean, fully accessible design for modern iPhone and iPad Perfect for: • To-do lists and tasks you can't seem to start • Deciding what to read, watch, play, or buy next • Ranking options when every choice feels equal • Anything that needs a clear first, second, third Free to use, with a one-time upgrade (no subscription) to unlock unlimited lists and items. No ads. No accounts. No tracking - your lists stay on your device. Made with care by a small, independent studio. Thank you for trying it - and if it helps you, a review means the world.

You write things down and still forget them. Fridge fixes that by putting your note where you cannot miss it — on your lock screen. Not in an app you have to remember to open. Not in a widget you have to go looking for. The first thing you see, every single time you pick up your phone. YOUR LOCK SCREEN IS A FRIDGE DOOR That is the surface households already use for the note that must not be missed. Shopping list. Gym bag. Call the dentist. Stick it there and it does its job on its own. TICK THINGS OFF WITHOUT UNLOCKING Tap a checkbox straight from the lock screen. No Face ID, no app launch, and no losing five minutes to social media on the way in. IT DOES NOT DISAPPEAR The big note is a Live Activity, and iOS ends those after about eight hours — a limit every app in this category runs into. Fridge ships a lock screen widget that never expires. Add it under your clock (the app shows you how, once) and your note is always there. Fridge also re-arms the big note every time you open the app, tick a box or edit a line. In the worst case your note gets smaller. It does not vanish. YOU DECIDE WHAT APPEARS WHERE • Live note, Widget only, or Off — one tap • Hide it in the Dynamic Island, so taps meant for other apps stop landing here • Widget-only mode keeps it off your Apple Watch entirely • Fridge never sends you a notification. Not one. MAKE IT YOURS Start with three clean designs, free. Unlock 23 more with Plus — legal pad, kraft, chalkboard, blueprint, polaroid, receipt, graph paper, midnight and more. They look like real paper, not colour swatches. Handwriting fonts, washi tape, magnets, push pins and photo corners. DRAW, AND STICK THINGS ON Pen, marker, pencil — and a proper eraser. Drop in a photo and Fridge lifts the subject out of its background automatically, on your phone. Photos stay pinned where you put them, so drawing on top never drags them around. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN TOO Small, medium and large widgets. The medium and large ones are tickable. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs of any kind. Background removal runs on your device. There is no server for your notes to go to. FRIDGE PLUS Try everything free for 7 days — no card, no commitment. After that, keep it your way: monthly, yearly (the best value), or pay once for lifetime with no subscription at all. Plus unlocks all 26 designs, unlimited notes, unlimited background-removed photos, and removes the small Fridge mark. Everything that makes Fridge work stays free: the lock screen note, the checkboxes, the widgets, and full control over what appears where. Requires iOS 18. iPhone only. — Fridge Plus subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
