A simple to-do app that reminds you with a real alarm. **THE PROBLEM** You add a task, then forget to look at the list. A quiet reminder is easy to miss. **WHY OTHER APPS DON'T HELP** Most to-do apps have too many features. Projects, tags, settings β it all takes time to set up. **THE SOLUTION** SimpleTodos has no complicated features. Type a task, add a due time if you want, and get an alarm when it's due. Pin important tasks, see them in a calendar, and sync across your devices with iCloud. Simple to add. Hard to forget.
