A minimalistic widget showing the top reminder from any of your lists. Multitasking is a lie, and there's clear evidence that focusing on, and completing a single task makes you more productive. This alternative for Apple Reminders does just that βΒ shows your top reminder from any of your lists, so that you can focus on getting what matters done. It works in both light- and darkmode, and you can edit the widget to not show the list name if you want to push the minimalistic look to the max. Future roadmap includes: - Custom styling of fonts and colors of the widget with preview in the app - Ability to choose different lists based on your focus stat - More granular control of what information is available in the widget like due date, location, notes etc.
