About

BurnTheList

Features
Read full description

Burn through your day. BurnTheList is a daily task list with one job: get you to finish things. Add a task, tap it, watch it burn. Start in seconds — no account, no login, no setup. Type your first task and go. Build a streak — a streak ring tracks your daily burn, and a 7-day strip shows how the week went. Three ways to add tasks — type them manually, describe your week in plain English and let the AI planner draft it, or sync a published Google Sheet and let the app pull your list every day. Recurring tasks — repeat anything daily, on chosen weekdays, or every N days. Home screen widget — see today's tasks and check them off without opening the app. Five themes — Cyberpunk, Vaporwave, Terminal, Blood Red, and Minimal. Your tasks and completion history stay on your device.
