About

BlockToDo

Features
Read full description

BlockToDo is a new kind of to-do app where every task drops and stacks like a real block. Create a task and a block in your chosen colour and shape falls from the top of the screen. Move it, throw it, tilt your iPhone, or shake the device to enjoy natural physical movement. Key features - Natural falling, collisions, and stacking powered by UIKit Dynamics - Organise tasks with Inbox, Today, and Anytime - Switch between physical blocks and date-based lists - Choose colours and rounded, capsule, hexagon, triangle, heart, diamond, or star shapes - Tap a block to edit it, or press and hold to fill the gauge and complete it - Review and restore completed tasks by date in Logback - Add schedules, deadlines, repeats, checklists, notes, and photos - Use the minimap and scrolling to explore stacks beyond the screen - Home Screen widgets and Apple Watch support - Reminder notifications and optional private iCloud sync - Custom canvas backgrounds and haptic settings Do more than cross tasks off. Stack them, move them, and smash them as you clear your day. Tasks and attached photos are stored on your device. When iCloud sync is enabled, they sync across devices signed in to the same Apple Account through your private CloudKit database.
