DooNuts turns your todo list into a nut harvest. Every todo is a nut. When it's done, tap the nut, the squirrel carries it to the basket – and your pile grows. PLAN SIMPLY • Today shows what's due today, category by category. • Later gathers everything with a date, week by week and month by month. • DooNuts is the place for ideas without a date or a category. • Categories with their own nut: Work as a walnut, Home as a hazelnut, Sports as a pine nut … • A calendar with every nut at a glance, per category too. • Reminders at the time you choose, notes on every nut. • Search across everything. HARVEST, DON'T JUST CHECK OFF • Every finished nut lands in the basket. This season's harvest grows into a pile of nuts. • Tap the squirrel – it's happy to see you. A SCENE THAT LIVES WITH THE DAY • The view of the waterfall changes with the season, the time of day and the real weather: rain, fog, snow, thunder, sunset, starry sky. • The habitat: visit the squirrel and the deer by the river. CALM AND PRIVATE • Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking. • Your location is used for the weather only – and only if you allow it. • English and German. DOONUTS PRO DooNuts Pro gives you more freedom: • Set the scene yourself: any season, any time of day, any weather. • Repeating nuts: daily, weekly, monthly – they come back on their own. • Nut history: the harvest of all time, category by category. • Unlimited categories (free: three). • Eight app icons. DooNuts Pro is a subscription for $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year, with the first 7 days free. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple account; manage or cancel it in your account settings. Everything that matters stays free – Pro takes nothing away.
