Do-dono is a to-do app for the chronically disorganised and forgetful ADHD brain, with different methods of inputting todo items and a flexible approach to deadlines. Why another to-do app? Well, I don't find the existing options very useful. Rather than trying to organise the chaos, I've made a to-do app that embraces that peculiar nature of ADHD organisation and attempts to work alongside it. To this end, to-do items are weighted by how important they are against how much you don't want to do them, and items with due dates move through the list as the deadline approaches - because we all know it's not getting done until right at the last minute anyway. Key features: - Your to-do list is sorted automatically based on multiple factors, keeping the stuff you should be doing most visible at the top! - Brain mode: set resistance and importance ratings for the item, and let Do-dono order it within your list automatically. Set the resistance based on how much or little you actually want to do the item, and importance is fairly self-explanatory. - Due date mode: set a specific date for when you have to complete the item by, and Do-dono will automatically move it up your list as the date gets closer. - Add categories to your to-dos and filter the list by them. - All data is synced across iCloud. I have other features planned in the future, and please do let me know if you have any problems at support@afternoonrobot.co.uk
