WhatsNext task manager vs Timely

WhatsNext is a beautifully simple task manager designed around one question: what should you do next? Unlike complex todo apps that overwhelm you with features, WhatsNext uses just two lists: NEXT — Tasks that need your attention now LATER — Tasks scheduled for a future date HOW IT WORKS Add a task and it goes straight to your Next list. Need to defer something? Snooze it to Later with a specific date. When that date arrives, the task automatically moves back to Next. Type naturally — "Call mom tomorrow" or "Submit report next Friday" — and WhatsNext understands. It extracts dates from your text so you can capture tasks in seconds. KEY FEATURES • Two-list simplicity — No folders, tags, or priorities to manage • Natural language dates — Just type "tomorrow" or "next week" • Automatic promotion — Snoozed tasks return to Next when due • Recurring tasks — Set monthly or annual repeats for regular commitments • Cloud sync — Sign in with Google to sync across devices • Daily digest — Optional morning notification with your Next tasks • Quick capture — macOS menu bar access for instant task entry • Glassmorphic design — Clean, modern interface that stays out of your way PERFECT FOR • People overwhelmed by complex task managers • Anyone who wants a clear answer to "what's next?" • Those who think in terms of "now" vs "not yet" WhatsNext respects your focus. No badges. No overdue guilt. Just a clear list of what needs your attention right now.

Most reminder apps nudge you once, then give up. Easy to miss, easy to ignore — and the thing doesn't get done. Timely keeps reminding you until you actually mark it complete. Persistent notifications Pick how often you're reminded per task: every 5 minutes, every 15, every hour. Timely keeps nudging until it's done. Configure it task-by-task. High priority alarms For the things you truly can't miss, turn on High priority and Timely sounds an audible alarm at the due time, breaking through Silent and Focus modes, and staying on screen until you act on it. Part of Timely Pro. Location-based reminders Get reminded when you arrive somewhere or leave it: take out the trash when you get home, grab milk when you leave work. Give a reminder a due date too, and whichever comes first wins. Part of Timely Pro. Make it yours Choose a font, an accent color and a background for your list, or use one of your own photos, and show your reminders as cards. Part of Timely Pro. Add reminders by voice Just ask Siri: "Add a to-do in Timely." Say what you want, when, and how often — hands-free. Natural language input Type it like you'd say it. "Call mom every Sunday." Timely parses the date, time, and repeat settings automatically, and "when I get home" sets it to one of your saved places. Also on your Mac Timely has a native Mac app that lives in your menu bar, reminds you there, and shares one list with your iPhone. Timely Pro is a universal purchase, so one subscription covers both. Flexible repeat scheduling Daily, weekly, custom intervals, or complex patterns. Build the exact schedule you need. Perfect for Medications, water breaks, habits, chores, appointments, follow-ups — anything you can't afford to forget. — Privacy Policy: https://www.andyreed.design/timely/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
