TONT vs Vellure

todo or not todo. That is the question. Most to-do apps want you to open them. TONT would rather you did not. Start a task and it follows you to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, timer ticking, until you pause it or finish it. Free to start. One purchase unlocks the rest. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Swipe a task right and it gets a card on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a live timer. Pause, resume or finish it from the card. Free runs one task at a time, with its subtasks. Pro times more than one task at once. THE TIMER The timer runs in the background. Pause it, come back an hour later, resume, and it adds up only the time you actually worked. Keep a task running for days and it counts the days. FOUR BUCKETS, NO FOLDERS Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming, Someday. That is the whole filing system. A task made in Today is due two hours from now, unless it is late at night, in which case it waits for 8 AM. Tomorrow means 9 AM. Upcoming means a week out. Someday has no date and no pressure. Need Work and Home kept apart? Swipe past your last group to make a new one. Each group gets a name, a colour and its own four buckets. Free keeps two groups. Pro keeps as many as you like. SUBTASKS Long press a task to break it into steps. The parent shows how many are done. Finish the parent and the steps go with it. APPLE REMINDERS, BOTH WAYS (PRO) One switch in Settings. Your tasks appear in a TONT list in Apple Reminders with their group name in front, and anything you add there comes back into the app. REMINDERS THAT HELP YOU START Five kinds, each with its own switch. Time to Start is timed from how long the task takes. Daily Plan is one calm note each morning. Rescue nudges you once when a task slips, then follows up after a day, three days and a week. Deadlines ring at the due time. Fresh Start welcomes you back after time away. Act from the notification: start now, snooze, mark it done, or move it to today, tomorrow or Someday. GET GOING IN A MINUTE A few quick questions on first launch, every one skippable. Then you type your first task and watch it land on your Lock Screen. A two-step tour shows how to start it and where it lives. The full tour is in Settings. HISTORY Tap the clock to see what you finished, when you started and how long it took. A calendar view shows the pattern by day. Groups show up there too. Free shows the last seven days. Pro shows all of it and adds search. NOTHING IN THE WAY Black screen, dark mode only. No ads, no accounts, no sign-up. The first time you open it, a short setup gets you to your first running task. After that, open the app, see your tasks, get to work.

Your Lock Screen becomes your notes. Vellure shows your notes on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as iOS Live Activities. Without opening the app, today's tasks, the days left until a date, and your progress are always in view. ■ Made for you if - You keep forgetting notes because opening an app is a hassle - You want a D-day or deadline front and center - You'd like to tick off tasks right from the Lock Screen ■ 5 note types - Plain: a short note on your Lock Screen - Checklist: check items right from the Lock Screen - D-day: automatic count of days left until a date - Countdown: live countdown to a target time - Progress: adjust a progress bar from the Lock Screen ■ Notes that tidy themselves Keep them pinned, or have them disappear automatically when the target time arrives, a set time passes, everything is checked, or you hit 100%. ■ Siri & Shortcuts Say something like "Vellure note, buy milk" and it's saved and posted without opening the app. It also works with location and time automations. ■ Privacy first No sign-up. Every note is stored only on this device. Nothing is sent to a server, and deleting the app deletes your data. Completely free. Put your first note on the Lock Screen now. * Due to iOS, a Live Activity is shown for up to 12 hours after posting, then ends automatically.
