Welcome to "Today," your go-to app for getting more done, every single day. Our app is meticulously designed to enhance your focus on immediate tasks while also keeping future plans in sight. As soon as you open "Today," you're greeted with a custom itinerary of tasks tailored just for you, split into three distinct types to streamline your time management: Regular Tasks: Dive into tasks that are time-bound and appear in your "Today" and "Tomorrow" views, automatically transitioning to the Performance view as the clock strikes midnight. These tasks, which you manually input, are all about taking action now. Any task slated for "Tomorrow" seamlessly shifts to "Today" when a new day begins, and any "Today" task moves to the Performance view at midnight, where you can track whether it was completed. A clear performance indicator keeps things readable, and you even have the option to mark off tasks you might have missed in the past days. Timeless Tasks: This category is for the things you need to do that aren't pressing against the clock. Without any time constraints or performance tracking, these tasks form a general to-do list for non-urgent matters, helping you stay organized without the pressure. Recurring Tasks: For those duties that come around on a regular basis, set a time interval for their completion. These tasks will pop back into your "Today" view either at the start of a new interval or if they're marked as incomplete, with a visual cue in gold to celebrate completion or in red to warn of potential delays. "Today" is more than just a task manager; it's a system designed to keep you focused on the present while never losing sight of what's ahead, ensuring you're always prepared for what life throws your way.

JustThreeThings is a refreshingly simple TODO app — with one twist: You can only add three things at a time. Why? Because life is overwhelming. ADHD or not, looking at a massive TODO list can feel paralyzing. JustThreeThings invites you to focus — not on everything — but on just three. Knock those out, then reset the board. Each task you enter is celebrated with encouraging messages and a growing green-light progress bar. Start a task and you’ll choose how much time you want to spend — a circular countdown timer helps you stay on track, complete with a full-screen 3…2…1 countdown to get you in the zone. Want a speed boost? Swipe left-to-right and you’re in Speed Run Mode — a 5-minute timer launches, perfect for quick wins. As you check off tasks, they light up green with a satisfying checkbox and floating “score points” that drift upward like Mario coin bonuses. You earn points for finishing tasks and for keeping a daily streak. Oh — and it works in light and dark mode. And if you’re curious, all your completed TODOs are saved in a history view, so you can look back and feel proud.
