Todo: Tasks & Notes is a clean, distraction-free organizer with two essentials: a classic Tasks list and a simple Notes notebook. No complicated menus, no noisy extras—just the quickest way to get things out of your head and done. Why you’ll like it Minimal by design: a calm interface that stays out of your way. Two focused spaces: manage to-dos in Tasks and write ideas in Notes. Faster capture: add tasks by voice or camera—speak it or snap it, and it becomes a task. All the basics you expect: quick edit, reorder, mark done, and organize. Free forever: 100% free. No subscriptions or paywalls. Key features Tasks: create, check off, and reorder with a tap. Notes: a clean notebook for thoughts, lists, and drafts. Voice to Task: dictate a task when typing isn’t convenient. Photo to Task: take a picture of a whiteboard or paper list—text becomes tasks automatically. Three themes: Classic, Dark, and Black & White to fit your focus. Simple organization: group, rename, and find items fast. Thoughtful details: readable typography, gentle animations, zero clutter. New: Themes that match your focus Choose the look that keeps you in flow: Classic — bright, friendly, familiar. Dark — easier on the eyes (and your battery) for late nights. Black & White — zero color, maximum contrast and calm. Why this matters: the fewer visual distractions, the faster you act. Pick a theme that feels invisible so your brain can stay on the work, not the UI. Make it simple. Keep it done. Todo: Tasks & Notes is built for people who want less tapping and more finishing.
