I have to admit: I've tried a lot of to-do apps, and every time I ended up in the same place. A long list that grew every day, postponed tasks piling up, and nothing ever actually getting done. Waraqa (Arabic for "a sheet of paper") comes from one simple idea: only write down what you can actually get done, in an app that brings back the feel of paper. One page per day, with the day's name, its date, and an empty line for what you want to finish. No projects, no tags, no calendar, no reminders. What Waraqa does: - A fresh page every morning. Previous days stay saved in your notebook. - Unfinished items don't follow you around. The next morning, the app quietly asks if you want to carry them over. Your call. - Swipe to mark an item done or delete it. And if you make a mistake (you will), there's undo. - "Pages" shows your past days as a grid. Open any of them to look back. - Copy your day in one tap, checkboxes included, and paste it into a message or a note. - Six paper colors, from soft paper to charcoal, and four text sizes. - Built Arabic-first, right to left, with full English available in Settings. And your data? It stays on your device. No account, no internet, no ads, no tracking. The app is completely free. If you like it, you'll find a "Support the Developer" option in Settings for a small tip (entirely optional; it doesn't unlock or lock anything). Questions or ideas: hellobeshr@gmail.com
