Read full descriptionHide full description
BreakTodo is a productivity app: you describe a major event or complex goal in natural language, and the app uses AI (via OpenRouter) to break it down into "group headings + multiple checkable subtasks," allowing you to easily follow steps and check off each item. 【How is it different from Magic Todo (Goblin Tools)?】 The popular Goblin Tools "Magic Todo" also uses the "input a sentence → AI breaks down steps" approach, offering the most intuitive similar functionality. BreakTodo leans more towards a "long-term to-do list tool on your phone": • Native iOS experience: lists are saved on your device for easy access, checking off items, and deleting. • Uses your own OpenRouter API Key, with the option to choose a model ID in settings; requests direct connection to OpenRouter, bypassing the developer's own servers from forwarding your conversation. • Optional "Personal Information" section, submitted along with the goal description to the model, ensuring the breakdown is tailored to your time, role, and other constraints. • Preview before generation, add to list after confirmation; swipe left to delete lists, tasks, or entire groups. 【Who is it for?】 • When facing a large goal but your mind is blank: Let the AI provide the structure first, then fine-tune the execution rhythm yourself. • You want steps that can be checked and archived: instead of remaining in a chat window. 【What you need】 • Register and create an API Key on openrouter.ai, fill it in and save it in the application settings. • You need a network environment that can access OpenRouter; the model name must match the ID supported by OpenRouter. 【Privacy and Data】 • API Key and list data are stored on this device; see the in-app instructions and privacy policy URL (please fill in the policy link you actually use). 【Disclaimer】 The AI output is for reference only; please judge its reasonableness and security yourself; for the availability, billing, and terms of third-party models and OpenRouter services, please refer to the official statements of the respective providers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BreakTodo at none against Life Widget's 3. Life Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
