You have projects. You have tasks. And you have things you want to do... eventually. Back Burner is a place to collect those eventual to-dos so that you can revisit them, revise them, and get them done when you've got the time. Back Burner is also an alternative to social networks. Have five minutes free on your commute? Instead of doom scrolling the latest bad news, check out your Back Burner and swipe to find something you can accomplish for YOU! Or if you have a new goal you want to jot down quickly, throw it on your Back Burner and come back to it later! Whether it's paying a bill or calling a loved one, signing up for that course or remembering to drink water a few times a day, Back Burner is a great way to track and accomplish your goals simply and easily. Other task managers fill your screen with llists, and require you to set time tables and dependencies. Back Burner follows the model of a card deck, allowing you to have one idea per card, and just rotate through, swiping left to postpone something you're not ready to do, or swiping right when you've done it. Users get 100 cards for free, with titles only. Subscribers get unlimited cards, with both titles and descriptions, tags, filters, and search. And there are dozens of features in development which will all be available to subscribers only. Download Back Burner now for FREE, and when you love it, subscribe to unlock everything!
