Stuff is built to help you organize your life and achieve your goals. Your Stuff can be as simple as a list of to-dos, or as complex as a system of interconnected lists, organized into spaces full of dependencies, deadlines, and carefully planned tasks. Stuff is designed to keep track of the dozens of to-dos that come to mind throughout the day, helping to clear your mind and turn thoughts into action. Dependencies: A Simple Yet Powerful System One of Stuff’s most unique and powerful features is Dependencies. Unlike other to-do apps, where tasks pile up into overwhelming lists, Stuff lets you link tasks together so that future steps stay out of sight until they’re relevant. This means that doers can brain-dump everything into Stuff without worrying about clutter, only the next actionable steps will be visible. Whether you’re planning a project, setting up routines, or just organizing weekend errands, Dependencies help keep Stuff clean, focused, and effortlessly powerful. Shared Lists: Collaborate Seamlessly Some tasks aren’t meant to be tackled alone. With Shared Lists, you can collaborate with teammates, classmates, family members, or anyone who needs to be in the loop. Assign tasks, track progress, and keep everyone on the same page, all within Stuff’s clean and intuitive interface. The Adventure Log: See Your Progress Over Time Every completed task tells a story, and with the Adventure Log, you can look back at everything you’ve accomplished. Filter by tag, space, or item type to see exactly what was done and when. Whether tracking work projects, study sessions, or personal growth, the Adventure Log helps you reflect on progress and stay motivated. The Today Card: Stay Focused, No Matter Where You Are Your most important tasks should always be front and center. The Today Card gives doers a snapshot of the day’s top priorities, no matter where they are in the app. With a quick tap, you can check your highest-priority tasks, see how much is left to do, and even glance at your Daily Note. Even if you’re bouncing between lists and organizing your week, the Today Card ensures that what matters most stays in view. Plan Ahead or Save for Later Sometimes, tasks don’t need to be done today, but they still matter. Stuff makes planning easy with Someday Tasks, allowing doers to set things aside without forgetting them. Assign a Deadline to separate when you plan to do something from when it has to be done. And for routine actions, repeating tasks keep everything on track automatically. Widgets: To-Dos at a Glance Stay on top of your tasks without even opening the app. Home screen widgets let doers see their lists instantly, making it easy to check off tasks, review deadlines, and stay on track throughout the day. Designed to Stay Open All Day Stuff is built to fit into your life, not disrupt it. Whether open on your desk while working or quickly pulled from your pocket while on the go, Stuff adapts to the way you work. The interface is designed to be both visually appealing and highly functional, keeping to-dos top of mind without being distracting. Built for Doers, Growing for the Future This is just the beginning! Stuff will continue to grow, with exciting new features on the roadmap designed to make productivity even more intuitive, effective, and enjoyable. Meet the Developer Stuff was built by me, Austin, an indie developer and a one-person team. I’ve always been passionate about productivity, but after trying countless apps, I couldn’t find one that truly fit my needs. I wanted something that combined a simple, beautiful interface with powerful features like Dependencies and repeating lists. So, I taught myself to code and started building Stuff, the to-do list of my dreams.

If you enjoy the satisfaction of “skratching” off daily tasks on a paper notepad, this elegant app helps manage your tasks with ease. Easily order tasks, assign a timeframe, prioritize and highlight tasks, make them recurring, or delay them to tomorrow, but if you complete it: TASKRATCH—with seven simple functions that keep your tasks managed better than a paper note pad. We’ve tried plenty of calendar and to-do apps and frankly, we are spending too much time serving the app rather than it serving us. Most apps are overly integrated across too many platforms and there’s too many settings and notifications. Taskratch was created by accredited investors for busy people with an investor mindset. A paper notepad can’t automatically move undone tasks to the next day, and it’s bulky to take with you. You’ll find some elegant interactive solutions in this app. We believe the more you use Taskratch, the more moments you’ll have for the people and passions that matter most. How you can use taskratch: • Create a new task using the + sign. Enter your task in the long text box. • Next, in the short test box, and using any time format (e.g. 1-2pm, 1500-1530), enter the window of time you expect to work on your task. • You can hold your finger on any task and drag it to re-order if you like. • Refer to your taskratch app frequently throughout the day to accomplish your schedule, add more tasks, re-order them, push them off until tomorrow, or skratch them off your list! • Click on your square taskratch box once to “skratch” out your task, twice to highlight it as an important task, thrice to skratch out a highlighted task and four times to return your task to a normal status. • Any tasks you can’t get to today, will automatically forward to tomorrow waiting for you to arrange when you awake, or, click the forwarding arrow to manually move your task ahead one day. • Here’s a clever tip: if you push a task to tomorrow and want to return it to today, simply touch the forwarding arrow for three seconds and it will send it backward one day. • The date arrows will advance your days forward or backward so you can review or add daily tasks to a future date, or the past—if you like living in it! • If you prefer a change, click on your profile pic to edit your photo or your preferences. • Set your task to recur daily, or on specific days, weekly, monthly or annually, or switch all recurring functionality to “off” to make it a single task again. If a task is set to recur, the symbol is highlighted and the forwarding arrow is grayed out. • Skratched out tasks are preserved forever on the day they were scratched out. We hope you enjoy taskratch! Please send us feedback through the app.
