WhatsNext task manager
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
Remember To Do

Tomorrow can wait. Remember To Do shows you what you have to do today, and nothing else. No backlog that only grows. No project folders you never open again. No settings to learn. Open the app, see today, finish it, and the screen goes empty. That's the whole idea. TODAY, AND ONLY TODAY Type a task and it lands on today's list. Check it off and it folds away, so only what's left is in front of you. An empty screen is the reward for a finished day. REPEATS THAT COME BACK ON THEIR OWN Repeat every day, or only on the weekdays you pick. Set it once and it returns whenever that day comes around — vitamins every morning, the gym on Mon/Wed/Fri, trash out on Friday. You never type them twice. THE LAST FEW DAYS AT A GLANCE Repeating tasks carry a small strip of recent history. You can see straight from the list whether you did it yesterday and how many days you kept it this week. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Small and medium widgets put what's left of today on your home screen, and they stay current without opening the app. RIGHT IN THE MAC MENU BAR On the Mac it lik the icon, apopover opens, you type the thing you just remembered and close it. No win CARRIED ACROSS Y What you write on your iPhone shows up on your iPad and your Mac. There unt to create —your iCloud account is all it uses. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND No account · no rms · nosubscription upsell · no collaboration invites · no tutorial to sit Built for peopleed out.
