DueView
Read full descriptionHide full description
See what you actually get done. DueView reads your Apple Reminders and turns them into a clear picture of how you work: what you finish, what slips, and when you're at your best. No new list to maintain — it uses the reminders you already keep. WHAT YOU GET • Completion gauge — one number for how much of your due work you're actually closing. • An honest on-time rate — unfinished work that has blown its deadline counts against you. Finishing two things promptly while ten sit overdue does not report as 100%. • Past due at a glance — how many tasks are late, and how long the oldest has been sitting there. • Average delay — when you are late, how late. • Tap any stat to see the reminders behind it. Not just "4 overdue" — which four, oldest first, with a jump straight to the Reminders app. • Per-list breakdown — find out which list is quietly dragging you down. • Trends — every headline number is compared against the previous period, so you see direction, not just position. DUEVIEW PLUS — ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Longer history: 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, or all time • Best Day — the weekday you close the most • Peak Hours — the time of day you actually finish things • Custom thresholds — decide how late still counts as on time No subscription. Buy once, keep it. BUILT TO BE HONEST DueView tells you what it can't measure. Tasks with no due date can't be judged for timeliness, and repeating tasks only report their current occurrence — so the app says so on screen, instead of quietly leaving them out of your numbers. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your reminders are read on your device and stay there. No account, no sign-in, no server, no tracking. REQUIREMENTS DueView works with the reminders already in Apple's Reminders app. It reads them; it never changes them.

The only productivity app you design yourself. Most to-do apps make you bend to their rules. To Do Machine flips the workshop on its head — open the back panel, swap the parts, paint it your color. Talk to it in plain English and watch your task inbox, your projects, and your entire workflow rebuild themselves in real time. Built natively for Mac and iOS. Perfectly in sync. — WHO IT'S FOR — For the people who've tried every to-do app and bounced off them all. For the ones who keep building systems in Notion, then abandoning them. For anyone whose brain works a specific way and is tired of apps that don't. To Do Machine isn't another opinionated workflow. It's a workshop where you build the one that fits you. — DESIGN IT YOURSELF — Tell To Do Machine what you want and it remakes the app around you. "Make the inbox darker and put due dates on the right" — done. Switch any project to list, kanban, calendar, focus, or blueprint view. Invent your own statuses, fields, and automations, project by project. Every tweak syncs to all your devices instantly. — AI THAT DOES THE TYPING — Just say what's on your mind. To Do Machine writes the tasks, breaks them into projects, sets reminders, and finds time on your calendar — no tapping the + button.

A daily standup that drafts your day before you've finished your coffee. — CALENDAR IN, DAY OUT — Connect Apple or Google Calendar and your tasks thread themselves between your meetings.
