About

Yet Another Todo App

Read full description

This is Yet Another Todo App. It's just a todo list app, but it tries to do things a little bit differently. • Offline only You don't need an account to use YATA. It actually doesn't even make any network requests. All the data is stored on your device and we don't collect or parse any of it. We will never collect, store, or transmit any data that isn't directly required for the operation of the app. • Detailed, interactive todos Todos can be scheduled and augmented with recurrences, reminders, subtasks, and attachments (including phone numbers, addresses, and web links). Plus, you can launch the appropriate app for attachments directly from the edit screen. • Built to help plan your day In most todo list apps, I always end up with a huge list of items I haven't done, staring me in the face for months. This app tries to avoid that problem by focusing on what you're going to do _today_. When you create todos in YATA, you can assign them a "do date". The default view you see is your Daily Schedule, the set of todos you have for a single day. • Wonderful to use and navigate This app isn't going to spam you with useless notifications. It's not going to have intrusive ads. I built it to use myself and really focused on making it wonderful to use and navigate. If you think you should be able to do something, you probably can. Swipe between days on the Daily Schedule screen or use the calendar button to jump around. Quick add todos by tapping enter while editing the title.

Visual Timer - Time you can actually see Make every minute count with a timer that's actually worth looking at. Visual Timer turns the wait into the show: nine beautiful, hand-crafted styles that each visualize time in a different way. Pick your style: • Circular - a classic clock-face wedge that drains as time runs out • Liquid - a wave-tinted pool that drains as the clock ticks • Pixel - a grid of pixels disappears one by one • Rain - thousands of tiny grains rain down and pile up to fill the screen • Blocks - falling pieces stack up to fill the screen • Maze - a snake winds across the screen until it fills every cell • Rings - concentric rainbow rings, one per minute, leaving a colored trail • Sun - the sun arcs across the sky, drifting from dawn through dusk to night • Path - a dot glides along a trail — follow the built-in curve or draw your own • Spread - a colorful infection blooms from a few seeds until it fills the screen Make it yours: • Pick any color for the timer fill or background • Use your own photos as a backdrop or foreground • Choose from 50+ alarm sounds, from a gentle chime to a rooster • Custom durations from a few seconds to several hours • Quick-pick recent durations and built-in presets Built for any moment: • Focus and deep work - visual progress without distraction • Cooking - set it on the counter and just glance over • Kids - turn time-outs, brushing teeth, or screen-time limits into something they actually watch • Workouts - clear interval timing without staring at numbers • Meditation - calm, smooth visuals that don't pull attention • Studying - Pomodoro sessions that look like part of the desk A timer that feels at home on your phone. Designed top-to-bottom for iOS - Liquid Glass controls, fluid animations, and dark-mode-first aesthetics.
