We never see your data. • Beautifully native - Built with Swift and SwiftUI. How it works 1. Pick what you want to lock access to (photo, video, note, or selected apps). 2.

Until Done

Stop ignoring your to-do list. Meet Until Done. Most task managers send you one polite reminder, let you swipe it away, and completely forget about it. That doesn’t work for chronic procrastinators. Until Done is built differently. It’s not just a productivity app; it’s a digital drill sergeant that refuses to be ignored. Our philosophy is simple: we will annoy you until it's done. When a task deadline hits, the app enters "Spam Mode." It will relentlessly bombard your phone with notifications, starting every single minute. You can't just swipe them away to make them stop. The only way to silence the app and regain your peace is to open it and actually mark the task as complete. KEY FEATURES: - Relentless Overdue Spam: Once a deadline passes, prepare for an onslaught. The app uses an aggressive notification loop that guarantees you won't "accidentally" miss a task. - Smart Escalation Engine: The app starts by notifying you every minute. If you stubbornly ignore it, the intervals dynamically adjust (Exponential Backoff) to keep nagging you for days without draining your battery. - Precision Pre-Reminders: Want to avoid the spam? Set exact reminders before the deadline hits. We act like a sniper for early alerts and a spam-bus when you're late. - Ultra-Minimalist Design: A beautiful, clean, distraction-free interface with full Dark Mode support. No unnecessary charts or clutter—just you and the things you need to finish. - Works Offline: Our custom notification engine schedules alerts directly on your device. No cloud syncing delays, no excuses. WHO IS THIS FOR? - People who constantly swipe away standard reminders. - Anyone struggling with procrastination or ADHD who needs a stronger external push. - Users who want a no-nonsense, aggressive approach to their daily backlog. Stop lying to yourself that you'll "do it later." Download Until Done today, and let us force you to be productive.
