Finishly vs Potom

Finishly is a to-do app that helps you start and finish tasks by reminding you why they matter. How it works: - Add a task. - Add your reasons for doing it. - Add an image that motivates you. - Set reminders. - Tap the sun icon to choose what you want to finish today. - When the reminder appears, you don’t just see the task — you see your own reason and image. Why it works: Normal to-do apps remind you what to do. Finishly reminds you why you wanted to do it in the first place. Instead of a generic nudge like “Exercise,” you can see: “Have more energy” “Feel better mentally” plus an image that pushes you to act. Instead of “Play with the kids,” you can see: “They grow up fast” plus a photo that makes the task feel important. Finishly helps turn tasks from boring items on a list into things that feel worth doing. It gives you personal motivation at the moment you need it most. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. No account needed — just open the app and start. Finishly is free to try. Premium unlocks unlimited tasks. If your to-do list isn’t helping you start, try Finishly.

Potom is for people carrying too much in their heads. You open it, type one line, and close it. That's the whole thing. FAST CAPTURE Write the way you'd say it: "call the dentist Friday at 6", "grab the package tomorrow", "renew subscription in a week". Potom pulls out the date and time and leaves just the task itself. Nothing to pick from a dropdown. TODAY, AND ONLY TODAY The main screen shows a handful of tasks for today — not thirty. Everything else sits quietly until its date comes up. Less on screen, less to dread. THOUGHTS AREN'T TASKS Not every idea is something to do. Links, half-formed plans, things worth thinking about later — they get their own space, where nothing nags at you and no red badge appears. MEET PUZYRIK A small pixel character lives in the app. He has moods, and he notices how things are going. He won't scold you or guilt-trip you for a missed day. He's just there. WIDGETS Today's tasks on your home screen and lock screen. Usually faster than opening the app at all. WHAT'S NOT HERE No projects, tags, subtasks, priorities, kanban boards, team collaboration, or weekly productivity reports. If you want those, there are excellent apps for it — Potom isn't one of them. Potom does one thing: open, type, close, remember at the right moment.
