A simple to-do app that reminds you with a real alarm. **THE PROBLEM** You add a task, then forget to look at the list. A quiet reminder is easy to miss. **WHY OTHER APPS DON'T HELP** Most to-do apps have too many features. Projects, tags, settings — it all takes time to set up. **THE SOLUTION** SimpleTodos has no complicated features. Type a task, add a due time if you want, and get an alarm when it's due. Pin important tasks, see them in a calendar, and sync across your devices with iCloud. Simple to add. Hard to forget.

Some thoughts are too important to bury in a notes app you never open. Peel puts them on sticky notes that live everywhere you look — your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, your wrist, your Mac. Write it once, see it until it's done. THE NOTE THAT CHECKS ITSELF OFF Tap an item on a widget and it's done — no unlocking, no opening the app. Pin a checklist to your Lock Screen and cross things off from there. It even lands on your Apple Watch the moment you write it. FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH EVERY THOUGHT • A note or checklist in seconds, from the app, a widget, the Share Sheet, or Siri • 21 ready-made templates — groceries, packing, meetings, workouts, habits • Write "dinner tomorrow at 7" and Peel offers a reminder or a calendar event.
