It's all in the title. Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks on your to-do list? Adding all your tasks only to be faced with a seemingly endless list can make it hard to get anything done. That's why I created Underload, a to-do list app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that only shows you one task at a time. You can add all your tasks, but you'll only see the next one you need to tackle. You get a clear, linear path forward, a singular focus. Best part is, it two-way syncs with Apple Reminders, so your tasks sync across all your devices and you can keep using Siri, HomePod, Shortcuts, and whatever other integrations you're used to to manage tasks.

Never forget to replace your consumables again. SparesBro tracks everything-from toothbrushes and eye lenses to razors and air filters-sending you smart, customizable reminders and stock alerts on your terms. Meet your spares' bro! Think of SparesBro as your personal assistant for all your consumables. It's your single source of truth that tracks time-based items (like filters) and usage-based items (like razors), manages your stock, and gives you a helpful nudge so you can skip the "Oops" moment for good. FEATURES: • Flexible Tracking: Not all items are the same. Track your consumables by time (e.g. "replace Toothbrush every 90 days") or by usage (e.g. "replace Razor after 10 uses"). • Customizable Smart Reminders: Get helpful nudges, not spam. You can customize reminders for replacement day, missed replacements, or even get an early heads up. • Simple Stock Management: Know exactly what you have on hand. The app automatically decreases your stock when you log a replacement. • Low Stock Alerts: Set a "low stock" threshold and get an alert before you run out, so you know exactly when to restock. • Home Screen Widgets: Track your upcoming time-based replacements at a glance without even opening the app. • Replacement History: See a full history of your replacements for any item, helping you spot patterns and plan ahead. • Clean, At-a-Glance View: Your main list shows all your items, their status, and any warnings (like "Past Due" or "Low Stock") in one simple, clear place. TRY FOR FREE, PAY ONCE FOR UNLIMITED: We believe in "try before you buy." We're not fans of subscriptions, and we bet you aren't either. • Essential Version (Free): Track up to 2 consumable items for free to see if SparesBro is right for you. • Unlimited Version (One-Time Purchase): Upgrade once, forever. Get unlimited items and unlock Home Screen widgets. No subscriptions. No ads.
