Stylus vs Coathook

Begin every day with a fresh start. Stylus is the task manager for people who are tired of bloated productivity apps. No endless backlogs. No guilt-inducing overdue tasks. Just today's priorities, beautifully organised and ready for action. Most to-do apps bury you in features. Stylus takes a different approach: it helps you focus on what matters right now. HOW IT WORKS Daily Review: Every morning, Stylus presents yesterday's unfinished tasks and asks one simple question: does this still matter today? This daily ritual keeps your list intentional and your mind clear. No task carries over automatically — you choose what deserves your attention. One Thing at a Time: Stylus is organised around your priorities. Work through tasks in order, stay present with what's in front of you, and move on. Helpful friction prevents needless over-tracking and keeps you focused on positive action. Rapid Capture: When something pops into your head, get it into Stylus instantly. Capture thoughts before they disappear, then prioritise them during your next review. DEEPLY INTEGRATED Stylus can't be compared to a web app — it's woven into the way you already use your devices. - Control Centre: Check off tasks without even opening the app - Live Activities: See your current task right on your Lock Screen - Widgets: Track your progress at a glance from your Home Screen - Siri & Shortcuts: Add tasks with your voice or automate your workflow - iCloud Sync: Seamless across iPhone, iPad, and Mac Stylus is deliberately simple. There are no Gantt charts, no collaboration features, no project management overhead. If you've ever abandoned a to-do app because it felt like a second job to maintain, Stylus was built for you. - Smart prioritisation that adapts as your day evolves - Gentle reminders that keep you on track without adding stress - A beautiful, distraction-free interface designed for iOS 26 - Markdown notes for adding context to any task - Search and diary features to look back on what you've accomplished FLEXIBLE PLANS Stylus is free to use.

Start today. Focus on what matters.

Coathook is a shared list for a house. Jobs, the shopping, and what's in the cupboards. Everyone sees the same thing. Everything has a name against it, so it's clear whose turn it is. You add things by typing them the way you'd say them. "Bins out Thursday" becomes a job for Thursday. "We're out of rice" goes on the shopping list, under the shop you get rice from. It reads most things correctly, and when it doesn't, it's two taps to fix. WHAT'S IN IT Jobs, with dates and who's doing them One shopping list, split by shop The fridge, freezer and cupboards, including what needs eating this week Widgets for the Home and Lock Screen A Watch app, for when you're pushing a trolley You can scan a barcode to put something in the kitchen, and the list comes up by itself when you walk into the shop. FIVE PEOPLE Grown-ups and children. A child gets their own jobs and isn't chased about anyone else's. ONE PRICE FOR THE HOUSE Two weeks free, then one monthly or yearly subscription covers the whole house, up to five people. It renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends, in your App Store account settings.
