Welcome to "Today," your go-to app for getting more done, every single day. Our app is meticulously designed to enhance your focus on immediate tasks while also keeping future plans in sight. As soon as you open "Today," you're greeted with a custom itinerary of tasks tailored just for you, split into three distinct types to streamline your time management: Regular Tasks: Dive into tasks that are time-bound and appear in your "Today" and "Tomorrow" views, automatically transitioning to the Performance view as the clock strikes midnight. These tasks, which you manually input, are all about taking action now. Any task slated for "Tomorrow" seamlessly shifts to "Today" when a new day begins, and any "Today" task moves to the Performance view at midnight, where you can track whether it was completed. A clear performance indicator keeps things readable, and you even have the option to mark off tasks you might have missed in the past days. Timeless Tasks: This category is for the things you need to do that aren't pressing against the clock. Without any time constraints or performance tracking, these tasks form a general to-do list for non-urgent matters, helping you stay organized without the pressure. Recurring Tasks: For those duties that come around on a regular basis, set a time interval for their completion. These tasks will pop back into your "Today" view either at the start of a new interval or if they're marked as incomplete, with a visual cue in gold to celebrate completion or in red to warn of potential delays. "Today" is more than just a task manager; it's a system designed to keep you focused on the present while never losing sight of what's ahead, ensuring you're always prepared for what life throws your way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Today 5 at Free against RePaper Web PDF Highlighter's $2.99. Today 5 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). RePaper Web PDF Highlighter's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
