About

WhatsNext task manager

Features
Read full description

WhatsNext is a beautifully simple task manager designed around one question: what should you do next? Unlike complex todo apps that overwhelm you with features, WhatsNext uses just two lists: NEXT — Tasks that need your attention now LATER — Tasks scheduled for a future date HOW IT WORKS Add a task and it goes straight to your Next list. Need to defer something? Snooze it to Later with a specific date. When that date arrives, the task automatically moves back to Next. Type naturally — "Call mom tomorrow" or "Submit report next Friday" — and WhatsNext understands. It extracts dates from your text so you can capture tasks in seconds. KEY FEATURES • Two-list simplicity — No folders, tags, or priorities to manage • Natural language dates — Just type "tomorrow" or "next week" • Automatic promotion — Snoozed tasks return to Next when due • Recurring tasks — Set monthly or annual repeats for regular commitments • Cloud sync — Sign in with Google to sync across devices • Daily digest — Optional morning notification with your Next tasks • Quick capture — macOS menu bar access for instant task entry • Glassmorphic design — Clean, modern interface that stays out of your way PERFECT FOR • People overwhelmed by complex task managers • Anyone who wants a clear answer to "what's next?" • Those who think in terms of "now" vs "not yet" WhatsNext respects your focus. No badges. No overdue guilt. Just a clear list of what needs your attention right now.
