About

GET YOUR SHIT DONE

Read full description

GET YOUR SHIT DONE is the to-do app that tells it like it is. No motivational sunrise quotes. No pastel checkmarks. Instead: a digital friend who keeps it real – direct, honest, occasionally a little snarky. But always on your side. How it works: Three columns – INBOX, DOING, DONE. Add a task, start it, finish it. Simple as that. In theory. What the app does while you procrastinate: It watches. And comments. Available in English and German. Your data stays on your device – we really don't want to know what you've been putting off.
