Focus on Today. Achieve More. Feeling overwhelmed by endless to-do lists and bloated productivity apps? TodoToday brings simplicity back, helping you stay focused on just one thing: what needs doing today, across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With a clean, intuitive design and powerful yet minimal features, TodoToday gets out of your way so you can get things done. Key Features: Today View: A dedicated space for just today's tasks. Add items fast, see your priorities at a glance, and stay focused. Priorities & Categories: Mark tasks as High, Medium, or Low priority with colored icons. Organize further using your own custom categories, synced and consistent across every device. Type a quick tag as you write a task title (like #shopping or !high) and it's applied automatically. Quick Add: Add several tasks at once by typing one per line, or use Pick for me to randomly spotlight a single task when the list itself feels like too much to face. Previous Tasks: Missed something yesterday? Incomplete items appear in a separate "Previous" view, so you can bring them forward with a tap. Nothing is held against you for leaving it there. History View: See what you've accomplished. Completed tasks are grouped by date and kept for as long as you choose. Nag Mode: For the tasks you really can't afford to forget. Turn it on and get reminded repeatedly until it's done, right down to a Lock Screen Live Activity that keeps it in view. Badges & Awards: Small, quiet rewards for milestones, streaks, and a few surprises along the way. Switch on a sarcastic streak of your own if encouragement isn't your style.
