About

TaskDot

Features
Read full description

Your day on one screen. TaskDot is a simple to do list built for people who just want to write down today's tasks and get them done - no projects, no folders, no setup. Type a task, tap a dot, done. Every task gets one of three color dots - red for high, blue for medium, green for low - so the list sorts itself into what matters first. Turn on the daily routine and TaskDot tidies up overnight: finished one-offs are gone by morning, and your daily habits come back unchecked, ready for a fresh day. WHAT YOU GET • Wake up to a clean board - completed tasks clear themselves overnight, so you never scroll past yesterday • "Drink water" and "Walk the dog" are waiting every morning on their own - set a task to repeat once, never retype it • Red, blue, green dots sort the list into High, Med, Low - the top of your screen is always the thing that matters most • A live count of what's left - "5 active, 2 high" at a glance before you even scroll • Swipe right to finish, swipe left to delete, drag to reorder - every action is one gesture • Typed it wrong? Tap any task to fix the title or change its dot in seconds PERFECT FOR • Anyone whose to-do system is currently a notes app, a napkin, or their memory • Habit builders who want the same three tasks waiting every single morning • Busy parents and students juggling ten small things a day, not ten projects • Minimalists who tried the big task managers and closed them by day two WHY NOT JUST USE A BIG TASK MANAGER? The famous ones are built for teams, labels, and nested projects. If your whole day fits on one screen, all of that is in your way. TaskDot has exactly one screen: today's list, three dots, done. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tasks live only on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no tracking. Delete the app and the data is gone - it was never anywhere else. FULL ACCESS TaskDot Pro unlocks the whole app: unlimited tasks, all three priority dots, filters, sorting, reordering, your completed history, daily repeating tasks, and the overnight clear-out. Choose a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Write tomorrow's list tonight - open TaskDot, type three tasks, and watch the dots put them in order.
