U Do List

Features
Read full description

Your goals don't have to be solo. U Do is the simple, social to-do app where friends cheer you on and keep you honest. Share your list, see each other's progress, and stay motivated — because it's social, not because you finally found the perfect system. ACCOUNTABILITY, BUILT IN Accountability is the missing feature in every other to-do list. Follow friends, share what you're working on, and let a little friendly visibility do what endless reminders never could. Knowing someone's in your corner is the most powerful motivator there is. YOU DON'T NEED MORE FEATURES You already know how to get things done. You just need a little help getting started. U Do skips the nested projects, elaborate tags, and configuration rabbit holes — just tasks, dates, and the people who keep you going. TODAY'S TASKS Wake up to a focused list of everything on your plate today. Add tasks in seconds, check them off as you go, and archive what's done to keep things tidy. SCHEDULE AHEAD Set tasks for any future date. Whether it's tomorrow or next month, your upcoming work stays organized and easy to find. 100% FREE We believe U Do can benefit everybody — so we made it available to everybody. No paywalls, no premium tiers. Just download and start doing.
