Hello, I'm so glad you found totododo! It's a tailor-made, minimalist Todo-list app designed and developed specifically for people with ADHD (and of course, it’s completely usable for everyone else too). Yes, I am an independent developer; and at the same time, I am also a person with ADHD. That’s why I’m a bit spontaneous, a bit socially anxious, and struggle with procrastination, dyslexia, attention deficit, decision paralysis, carelessness, and a touch of forgetfulness. Whether at school or in the workplace, I have always felt the prejudice against ADHD. So I had to pretend to be an efficiency fanatic, a detail fanatic, and a punctuality fanatic. But mentally, to pull this off, I have to put in more effort than you can possibly imagine—far more than the average person! That’s why I created this "targeted" minimalist todo list app for the ADHD community, and for myself: it’s called totododo. After launching it on the App Store, I realized I was not alone. Less than a month after its official release, totododo has gained users in dozens of countries and regions around the world. Today, I was pleasantly surprised to find a thank-you email from a user in South Korea in my inbox. Every day, users reach out to me with their ideas and needs. Seeing this, I think I have earned the recognition of ADHD "comrades" worldwide. I’m truly happy to be able to help everyone. As the saying goes, "God helps those who help themselves." If you also have ADHD, don’t miss out on this app. If you’re not sure whether you have ADHD, totododo comes with a built-in ADHD test that you can use for self-assessment. I will continue to iterate and improve this app for all of you. May the world understand ADHD, and be kind to those who live with it.

YouNotes is a digital note-taking app designed for learning, work, and creative thinking. Everything you need is in one place—notes, PDF annotation, an infinite whiteboard, mind maps, text documents, and more. In addition to Apple's built-in drawing tools, YouNotes provides a complete set of creative tools including Lasso Selection, Text, Mind Map, Shapes, and a Laser Pointer, making handwriting, annotation, organization, and layout feel more natural and intuitive. With YouNotes, you can enjoy: • Infinite Canvas Combine mind maps, handwritten notes, images, stickers, and shapes on an unlimited canvas where your ideas can grow without boundaries. • Mind Maps Create expressive mind maps by freely mixing text, images, and handwriting, making your ideas more visual, flexible, and engaging. • Seamless Sync Across Devices Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud Sync, so your notes are always available wherever you are. • Multiple Interaction Modes Choose between Apple Pencil Mode, Finger Drawing Mode, and Reading Mode to match the way you like to work. • Teaching & Presentations Use the built-in Laser Pointer to highlight important content during classes, meetings, or presentations. • Dark Mode Enjoy a comfortable viewing experience at night while reducing eye strain and helping extend battery life.

Looking Ahead Traditional note-taking is about recording information, organizing it yourself, and searching for answers on your own. As YouNotes continues to evolve, my vision is to transform it into an AI-powered notebook built for the future. More than just a place to write, YouNotes will integrate powerful AI capabilities that actively support your learning—from capturing ideas to understanding concepts, from asking questions to finding answers. Every note will become more valuable as AI helps organize knowledge, explain complex topics, and solve problems—like having a personal tutor by your side whenever you need one.
