Cadence is the recurring task tracker that doesn't nag. Water the plants. Change the sheets. Call your mum. Cadence keeps the rhythm of recurring life quietly on your Home Screen, so you can see what's due without a single push notification. Every household task, on a gentle loop. Set up a task once, choose how often it repeats, and Cadence takes it from there. When it's time, it shows up. When it's not, it stays out of the way. Count the next due date from the day you finish, or keep a fixed schedule for things like rent day. Your week, quietly organized. See today, this week, and later at a glance. Cadence groups tasks by when they actually matter, so you can scan the week ahead without scrolling through a wall of checkboxes. Did it yesterday? Mark it done on the day you actually did it. One-off jobs, right next door. Turn on the optional To do list for the things that happen only once: book the boiler service, return the library books, renew the passport. It sits in its own tab next to your recurring tasks, and stays out of sight until you switch it on. See it on your Home Screen. The widget is the whole point. One glance tells you what needs doing. Tap it to open Cadence, and tick things off with a single tap. No badge to clear, no inbox feeling, no opening yet another app just to remember what you were supposed to be doing. Make it yours. Forty colors, dozens of icons, one tap to pick. Give "water plants" a leaf. Give "rent day" red. Your widget ends up looking like you, not like a productivity app. See your rhythm. Cadence shows how often you get things done on time, with a lane for every task that marks each completion and each stretch it sat overdue. Open a task to see the current cycle as a dial, your streak, and its full history. Notice the patterns without obsessing over them. The gym tasks you always skip. The weekly ones you nail every Sunday. Stop worrying. Start doing. No push spam. No daily summary emails. No reminders piling up in Notification Center. Cadence shows you the right task at the right time, in the one place you already look, and otherwise stays silent. Your data, your cloud. No account required, and no Cadence server. Your tasks live on your iPhone. Want them on more than one iPhone? Turn on iCloud sync, and your tasks and to-dos are saved in your own iCloud storage, where Cadence can't see them. Sync stays off until you turn it on. Export anytime to back up, import anytime to move over. Cadence is for the stuff that comes back around. The gentle, unglamorous, every-few-days tasks that keep a life running. Set them up once, glance at the widget, carry on.
MOL.DO

Someday → Today → Right Now. Most task apps are graveyards of "someday" items. MOL.DO is built on a single pipeline: pull a task from your backlog, give it a real deadline so it becomes today's task, then immerse yourself in the ONE task that's happening right now. That's it. No projects. No labels. No guilt. Just the funnel that turns intentions into finished work. THE THREE STAGES 1. Backlog — Someday Tasks Capture everything you might do, by voice or text. No pressure, no priority. It just lives here until you're ready. 2. Today — Tasks With a Deadline Pull a task from the backlog and commit. Give it today. Now it's no longer "someday" — it's a promise to your future self. 3. Right Now — The ONE You're Immersed In Pick the single task you're doing this moment. It locks onto your Home Screen widget and Lock Screen Live Activity. Everything else fades. WHY THIS WORKS The problem isn't capturing tasks. It's the gap between "I should" and "I'm doing." MOL.DO closes that gap with one rule: a task only earns "today" status when you commit a deadline, and only one task can be "right now." You stop juggling. You start finishing. FEATURES • Voice Brain Dump — capture backlog items by speaking • Deadline Commit — turn backlog items into today's tasks with a single tap • Right Now Focus Mode — one task, one screen, zero distraction • Live Activity — your current task always visible on the Lock Screen • Home Screen Widget — your ONE in your peripheral vision all day • Day History — see exactly what you finished, not just what you planned • Weekly & Monthly Reports — patterns of what actually got done • Reflect — quick check-in at day's end WHO IT'S FOR • People drowning in 200-item todo lists • Knowledge workers who lose hours to context switching • Anyone with ADHD-style task paralysis • Folks who've tried Things, Todoist, TickTick — and still feel scattered • Builders, writers, students who need deep focus, not more features NOT BUILT FOR Project management. Team collaboration. Shared lists. If you need those, use something else. MOL.DO is for one person, one task, one moment. PRIVACY Your tasks stay on your device. No accounts required. No tracking. Stop adding. Start finishing. Pull it forward. Lock it in. Get immersed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cadence at none against MOL.DO's 2. Cadence also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). MOL.DO's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
