About

Monotasking

Features
Read full description

A minimalistic widget showing the top reminder from any of your lists. Multitasking is a lie, and there's clear evidence that focusing on, and completing a single task makes you more productive. This alternative for Apple Reminders does just that – shows your top reminder from any of your lists, so that you can focus on getting what matters done. It works in both light- and darkmode, and you can edit the widget to not show the list name if you want to push the minimalistic look to the max. Future roadmap includes: - Custom styling of fonts and colors of the widget with preview in the app - Ability to choose different lists based on your focus stat - More granular control of what information is available in the widget like due date, location, notes etc.
