DiD is a simple task app built for those who don't want a whole system to manage their everyday. It's built around a simple idea: your task list should work the way your mind does. Not a graveyard of overdue reminders, but a running list that moves forward with you. Designed for home managers, busy parents, and scattered thinkers, use it for: ... The bill you nearly forgot.
 ... The wet laundry in the washer. ... The habit you’re TRYING to build.
 ... A book you were recommended. ... The detergent you need to buy.

 Key Features: 
 ... Incomplete tasks from today are automatically carried forward to tomorrow if "Push if incomplete" is on for the task. No overdue or RED notifications. Life is random, and you shouldn't feel guilty about not being able to keep up ALL THE TIME. DiD keeps up with you!

 ... "Reset future dates on completion" for pushed repeating tasks to adjust the future dates based on when you actually complete it. Some days you need a break from routine and want to jump back in without resetting the whole system.

 ... Only set reminders for the tasks you want so you're not bombarded with notifications. DiD is designed to free up your mental load, not add to it.

 ... Had a random chore pop into your head. Don't break the flow. Add a task quickly on the homepage without getting sucked in. DiD is designed for quick use, not to maximize your time in the app.

 ... Privacy first. Your data lives on your phone. No data collection or selling. You have total ownership over your data.

 ...That means it works completely offline. On a hike. In a plane. In that corner of your home the WIFI doesn't reach.

 ... No subscription. Just a one time payment to buy the offline app, and use it for life.

Over time, you’ll notice patterns in your one-off tasks and turn them into routines. Changing towels. Watering plants. Swapping toothbrushes. All the small things bouncing around in your mind finally have a place to live.

DID helps you stop juggling tasks in your head and start living in the present.
