FarmerDo — Where Every Chore Grows Something Most to-do apps just want a checkmark. FarmerDo wants you to grow a farm. Here's how it works: every task you write down has two halves. Check it off in real life, and your farm opens up with a matching chore waiting for you — water the flowers, milk the cow, go fishing, collect the morning eggs. Walk your farmer over and finish the job, and only then does the task actually count as done. Half-finished tasks sit right there in your list with a little open marker, quietly reminding you that real life and farm life both need closing out. Plant and harvest six different crops. Raise alpacas, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and a small army of pigs, starting them off as babies and working them up to full-grown adults. Cast a line at the fishing spot and hope for one of thirteen real species instead of yet another boot — your Fish Log keeps score either way. Every chore you finish pays out in gold, and every gold coin gets you closer to the animal you've been eyeing in the store. It's a to-do list with a pulse — productive in the real world, oddly soothing in the game one, and sneaky enough to make "water the flowers" feel like a reward instead of a reminder. Real tasks. Real farm. Actually getting things done, twice over.
