About

Loose Ends

Features
Read full description

Loose Ends is a calm, simple way to keep track of everything in your life that is still unresolved. Some things are not traditional tasks. You might be waiting for a reply, expecting money back, following up on an application or trying to remember something you need to revisit. Loose Ends gives those open loops a place to stay until they are settled. Simply tap +, write down what you want to remember and add it to your Open list. When it is finally resolved, tick it off and it will move to Done. If something becomes relevant again, you can bring it back at any time. WHY YOU’LL LOVE LOOSE ENDS • Add loose ends quickly • Keep everything unresolved in one organised list • Tick off items when they are settled • View everything you have completed • Reopen items whenever you need to • Enjoy a clean, calm and distraction-free design Loose Ends is not about filling your day with more tasks. It is about remembering what is still open, clearing your mind and closing each loop when the time is right. No deadlines. No pressure. Just fewer loose ends.
