Deadline Dash vs Folio

Deadline Dash isn't another to-do list. It's a countdown you can't ignore — and a consequence you can't talk your way out of. How it works Give yourself a task in one of three categories — Easy, Medium, Hard. The second you commit, a 24-hour countdown starts, and it lives right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Not a reminder you can swipe away and forget. A running clock. Finish before time runs out — done. Miss it, or give up early — same result either way — and you burn one of your 3 lives in that category. Burn all 3, and the category locks. No free pass, no "try again tomorrow." You either buy your way back in, or that category stays locked. Three lives, not one Everybody misses sometimes. That's why each category gives you three real chances before anything locks — enough room to be human, not enough to stop caring. Your countdown, everywhere Live Activities keep your deadline visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island the whole time. Mark a task done right from the Island — no need to open the app. Add the widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and you'll never lose track, even after the Live Activity itself expires. Separate boards for separate lives One set of 3 categories is free, forever. Need to keep work deadlines and personal ones from bleeding into each other? Open a second or third board — each with its own Easy, Medium, and Hard, each with its own 3 lives. The Record Every task you finish or lose gets written down. Your win/loss record per category, your current streak, and — if you've lost any — the graveyard: every task you didn't finish, exactly as you wrote it, dated, struck through. Nothing to inflate your ego, nothing to hide behind. Just what actually happened. Deadline Dash is built for people who already know willpower alone doesn't work — and who'd rather put something real on the line than write another list they won't look at again.

Your content stays on your device, in your own iCloud with Folio Pro, or with people you choose to share a note with. AI Enhance runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. Folio does not send your writing to an AI server. Apple Intelligence requires a supported device and must be enabled and available. Anonymous usage analytics help us improve Folio. They're on by default and include app opens, feature usage, and error codes, never your content. Turn them off in Settings to stop collection and delete the analytics already collected from your install.
