to.Shake is a minimal task manager built around one simple idea: when your list stops helping, shake it. Most task apps lock you into the same order every day. Over time, that order becomes invisible. You skip the same tasks, delay the same decisions, and keep scrolling through the same mental loop. to.Shake breaks that pattern. With a quick shake, your tasks reorder instantly — giving you a fresh view of what needs attention. Sometimes the best next step is not the most optimized one. It is the one you finally notice. Why to.Shake works: - Refresh your perspective on stuck tasks - Surface items you keep ignoring - Reduce task paralysis and overthinking - Stay focused with a clean, minimal interface - Turn movement into momentum Perfect for: - daily task tracking - personal to-do lists - creative work - freelance workflows - moments when you do not know where to start Shake it till you make it!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: to.Shake at none against timespent's 4. to.Shake also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). timespent's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
