Today is a simple, beautiful to-do list built around one idea: every day deserves a fresh start. Instead of carrying an endless list of tasks from day to day, Today gives you a clean slate every morning so you can focus only on what matters right now. Unfinished tasks are not lost. They move to a drawer where you can easily bring them back whenever they become important again. The result is a calm, intentional way to manage your tasks and build consistency. **Core Features** • Fresh Start Every Day Your task list resets each day so you can focus on what matters today. • Task Drawer for Unfinished Work Tasks you do not complete move to a drawer. Pull them back into today whenever you decide they matter again. • Daily Routines Build consistency with routines and keep your habits on track without cluttering your main task list. • Simple Task Management Add tasks quickly, mark them done, and keep your list focused. • Tags for Organization Organize tasks with tags such as Work, School, or Personal. • Task Notes Add detailed notes to any task for additional context. • History by Date Look back at previous days and see what you completed. • iCloud Sync Your tasks stay up to date across all your Apple devices. **Designed for Clarity** Today is built with a calm, minimal interface that removes distractions. No clutter. No complicated systems. Just a focused list for the day ahead. Start fresh. Focus on today. **Today Pro** Today Pro subscriptions are available as: • Today Pro Monthly – $1.99 per month • Today Pro Yearly – $19.99 per year Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
