I made this app because I really, really, really don't like over-complicated to-do apps. But I still wanted to keep track of all the stuff I have to do each day — without a calendar, a timer, an alarm, or confusing features. So I built the to-do app I actually wanted: colorful, playful, simple, useful. Enough structure to feel organized, but not so much that opening it feels like a chore. Done-ish is a low-pressure task list with a sense of humor. Easy to use, fun to look at, and forgiving on the days you don't finish everything. Hope you enjoy it too!
