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 ā Tasks that need your attention now LATER ā 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 ā "Call mom tomorrow" or "Submit report next Friday" ā and WhatsNext understands. It extracts dates from your text so you can capture tasks in seconds.
