Show a single task on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Add some tasks to the app and then add the widget. Simply tap the widget to mark the task as completed. The next task will then appear. You can change the order the tasks will be chosen in the widget configuration. The simplicity is a feature. The app will not have things like folders, tags, priority, notes, etc. The optimal workflow is to add only the tasks you are committed to completing today. The app is designed for task completion, not endless organization and neglect. Syncs seamlessly across your devices with iCloud. « You can achieve almost anything if you focus on one thing at a time » — Someone on the internet Known issue: If you long-press a task while the text field is focused, the keyboard will hide, but not the text field. This is an iOS bug. Instead, dissmiss the keyboard by scrolling first and then long-press a task. ■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.

Simply open the app, tap on the one you want, and it's on your clipboard ready to be shared. COPYING IS A BREEZE Clipbud puts any text you add to the app a tap away. There's no limit to the length of the snippet either. Paragraphs and line breaks are kept for readability. SEARCH IS EASY Clipbud's search makes finding whatever you need lightning fast.
