Ember vs Due Again

Notes-app simplicity. Task-app power. AI when you're stuck. You've tried every task app. They all made you configure projects, tap through modals, and manage systems instead of just... doing things. Ember is different. It works like a notes app — one tap, start typing, press return for the next task. Brain dump without friction. But underneath, it's a real task manager. TWO VIEWS. THAT'S IT. • Now — What you're focused on right now • Next — What's important but not yet Move tasks between them like a personal kanban — without the board, the columns, or the complexity. Just what matters now, and what's coming. DAILY RESET Every morning, Ember moves unfinished tasks from Now back to Next. Clean slate. No carryover guilt. If something's still important, pull it back into Now — intentionally, not by default. Clean slate, every morning. This is how you break the accumulation cycle. DELEGATE TO AI Some tasks sit in your list for days — not because they're hard, but because they're vague. "Research venue options for team offsite." Where do you even start? Tap delegate. Your AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude) picks it up, asks the right questions, scopes the work, and gets you moving. No prompts to write. • Tag it, don't prompt it — One gesture during your normal task review. No blank prompt to stare at. • Works with your tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any agent that supports Model Context Protocol. Bring the agent you already use. • Not autopilot — Your agent asks before it acts. It's a capable colleague, not a black box. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Press plus. Start typing. Press return. Keep going. No modals. No "save" buttons. No three-step creation flows. Brain dump like you're writing notes, but every line becomes a real task. REPEATING TASKS Daily, weekly, monthly — or every other Friday, twice a week, whatever cadence your life needs. Tasks appear in Now when they're due. Finish early? Ember automatically reschedules. LISTS + VIEWS Lists hold your tasks (Home, Work, Finances). Views show you what to focus on (Now, Next, Upcoming). Pull tasks from any list into Now when you're ready. Organization without overhead. SUBTASKS Break big tasks into steps. Check them off as you go. Simple. BUILT FOR YOUR BRAIN Most task apps create a wall of shame — an ever-growing list of things you didn't do. Ember doesn't do that. Now holds what you're working on. Next holds what matters but isn't urgent. Nothing stares at you. Nothing guilts you. You move things to Now when you're ready — not because a badge told you to. • No friction — Capture is instant. If it takes more than 2 seconds, you won't do it. • No decisions — Now or Next. No priority levels, no color-coded tags, no "which project?" • No overwhelm — You only see what's relevant right now. • No wall of shame — Important things stay in Next without the guilt. THEMES THAT FEEL LIKE HOME Multiple color themes like: Dracula, Tokyo Night, Rosé Pine, Catppuccin, Nord, and Ember Pink. Dark mode that actually looks good. Make it your own. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Ember isn't the task app that does everything. It's the one that clears your head every morning — and helps use AI to get things done.

> Some chores only come around once or twice a year — replace the water filter, > service the car, test the smoke alarms, bleed the radiators. They're easy to > forget and expensive to ignore. Due Again keeps every one of them on track. Due Again is a calm reminder app for the infrequent, recurring maintenance that keeps a home, car and garden in good shape — and it lets your whole household share the load instead of leaving it to one person. Add a task once, choose how it repeats, and Due Again does the remembering: • **Schedules for anything that recurs** — fixed dates (every 12 months), "X months after I last did it", or simple one-offs. • **Reminders that reach you in time** — set how many days of lead time you want, then snooze or skip an occurrence without breaking the schedule. • **Organized by category** — Home, Car, Garden, Personal and Other, so the right jobs are easy to find. • **A clear completion history** — see what was done and when, with notes, so nothing is guessed at or done twice. • **Share with your household** — invite family or housemates as viewers or editors with a single link, and everyone sees when a task is marked done. • **Stays out of your way** — archive what you no longer track and keep your list focused on what's next. Due Again is free to track up to 4 tasks and share with one person. **Due Again Pro** unlocks unlimited tasks and unlimited household sharing — available monthly or annually, so it can keep earning its keep with reliable reminders, sync and new features. Stop trusting your memory for the things that matter twice a year. Let Due Again tell you when they're due again. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
