Simply Things vs WhileHere

Simply Things is a minimal todo list for people who want to capture tasks quickly, stay focused, and keep daily planning light. No project-management noise. No crowded dashboards. Just a clean place for the Things you need to do, with the Apple-platform details you expect. WHAT MAKES IT SIMPLE - Fast capture for tasks the moment they come to mind - A focused list that keeps today's work readable - Pin important Things so they stay at the top - Reorder and rename Things as your day changes - Widgets that show your pinned Thing and the rest of your list - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Keyboard shortcuts for fast iPad and Mac workflows BUILT FOR FEWER DISTRACTIONS Simply Things is designed to stay out of the way. It gives you enough structure to keep your tasks clear without turning your personal todo list into another system to manage. If you like low-clutter planning, quick capture, and a task manager that feels native on Apple devices, Simply Things is built for you. EARLY BIRD ACCESS Simply Things is still growing. A subscription tier is planned for later, and current Early Bird users keep access to future Simply Things features. Have feedback or a feature request? I read every message: hello@simplythings.app

WhileHere reminds you about tasks based on where you are — not what time it is. Create a task like "buy groceries," and WhileHere finds matching places near you and suggests them on the map. Pick your spots, set a radius, and forget about it. When you reach one of those places, your reminder appears — right when you can actually act on it. LEAVE-BASED REMINDERS Some tasks can't be done until you leave. Choose "When I leave" and your current location becomes the leave place — give it a name like "Apartment" if you like, and set how far you need to move away before it triggers. The moment you leave, you're notified that your reminder is set and your task places activate automatically. Arrive at one and your reminder appears. Leave home, remember the groceries, buy them on the way. WHY WHILEHERE • Remind by place • Smart place suggestions from your task title • Multiple places per task — whichever you reach first reminds you • Adjustable radius for every reminder • Track each leave task's progress: waiting to leave, on the way, done • Remind Later and Mark Done right from the notification • Works in the background ON YOUR DEVICE, ONLY Your tasks and places stay on your device. No account, no feed, no sharing. Location is used only to trigger your own reminders. Stop forgetting the task you drove right past. Put the reminder where the task is.
