DoNow is a day planner built around one idea: a calendar can tell you what's supposed to happen, but it can't tell you whether it did. DoNow can — because it isn't a static schedule, it's a live timeline of your actual day. The ribbon Open the app and your day is laid out as a moving timeline, not a flat task list. A marker shows exactly where "now" falls against your plan, sliding forward in real time. Whatever sits under it is the honest answer to "what should I be doing right now" — no scanning a to-do list trying to guess what's next. Tasks that repeat, the way your day actually repeats Most planners make you re-enter the same task every morning. Set a task rule once — daily, weekly, or a custom pattern — and DoNow generates each day's occurrence automatically. It's a recurring task planner and routine tracker in one: build the routine once, and the checklist keeps rebuilding itself instead of you rebuilding it. One-off tasks and notes sit right alongside your routines, so a single appointment lives on the same task calendar as your daily routine and weekly errands. A day planner that remembers Most to-do apps delete a task the moment you check it off. DoNow doesn't. Every completed occurrence stays on record, building real completion history instead of a vanishing checklist. Missed a Friday workout three weeks running? That pattern is sitting right there instead of disappearing with yesterday's list. It's the one thing a plain calendar or task manager structurally can't do: track not just what was scheduled, but what actually happened. Reminders that don't need the internet Each task carries its own reminder lead time, and DoNow schedules the notification directly on your device — no server round-trip, no dependency on a connection. Turn on a daily summary too, for one quiet notification each morning shaped by what's actually on that day. Your day, wherever you are Sign in with Google or Apple once, and your tasks, routines, and completion history sync across every iPhone and iPad you use. Start your list on your phone, finish checking it off on your tablet. A productivity app that measures the thing that matters Most productivity apps measure how many tasks you added. DoNow measures how many you actually finished, and lets that record build over weeks and months instead of resetting every night. If your idea of productivity is a to-do list you cleared, DoNow's is a day you can look back on and verify. Built for a moving day, not a fixed grid If an hour-by-hour grid or an ever-growing task list has never matched how your day actually runs, DoNow's live timeline is built for exactly that mismatch — plans that shift, days that don't go in order, and a mind that needs to see now rather than infer it from a clock. What DoNow doesn't do No selling your data, ever. Your tasks and notes are stored to sync your account, and used for nothing else — not to target you, not to profile you. Tracking SDK is to show you relevant ads only if you give your consent. The premium version is completely ad free! Getting started DoNow is free, with every feature included — the timeline, routines, reminders, completion history, and sync all come with the app, no separate tier hiding functionality behind a paywall. The free plan shows ads; DoNow Pro removes them, offered monthly or yearly with a free trial on either. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and you can cancel any time in your store account settings. If you've tried a to-do list, a habit tracker, or a plain calendar and still ended most days unsure what actually got done, DoNow was built to answer that one question. Plan the day, live inside it as it moves, and get things done knowing you did. Terms of Use: https://do-now-4668a.web.app/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LockedIn at none against DoNow's shown. DoNow's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
