Pick three. Watch the bar. Clear the day. No account, no AI, no ads โ€” and repeats and reminders are never locked. Pick Three is a daily planner built around one small routine. In the morning you pick three things to do today. During the day, one bar shows how much room you still have. In the evening, whatever didn't get done goes to tomorrow. There is no grid to drag tasks around on: type the time right after the task, like "Dentist 930", or skip the time altogether. โ— Your day is set in 30 seconds โ€” pick three from yesterday's leftovers and your repeats, close the sheet, done โ— You always know how much more fits โ€” one bar: your day's capacity (6 hours by default) minus your tasks โ— You hear about it before you overbook โ€” "40 minutes short" sits right at the top of the screen โ— Unfinished tasks never disappear โ€” one evening screen sends each one to tomorrow, to Someday, or drops it โ— Repeats and checks just work โ€” write "Workout daily" or "Meeting every Tue" and the repeat is on โ— Widgets too โ€” time left and your next task on the Lock Screen and small widget; the medium widget shows all three Free - Unlimited tasks, repeats and checks ยท morning and evening reminders - Typed time entry (past midnight too), the morning pick and the evening wrap-up - The time-left bar, the two most recent days in the log, Lock Screen and small Home Screen widgets - Automatic iCloud backup, dark mode, 5 languages Premium (subscription) - Calendar events counted in your time left (read only, nothing is ever written to your calendar) - A one-line note when you wrap up the day - Your full log beyond yesterday - The time-left number on the medium widget as well About subscriptions: Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription.
