About

Karbywarby Todo

Read full description

Most task apps end up costing more time than they save. You maintain lists, sort categories, push due dates around. Doing everything except the task itself. Plenty of people have given up on todo apps for exactly that reason. This one is for them. Karbywarby Todo shows what matters next instead of the whole list. Reduced, but not bare. The measure is the feeling of getting something fully off your plate with little effort. THE APP DOES THE UPKEEP The work other apps hand to you, Karbywarby Todo does itself: • Overdue tasks get rescheduled, not flagged. No growing pile of red staring at you every morning. • Date suggestions work from your real week. From what you actually finished over the last 30 days, not from what you meant to. • A suggestion for what to tackle next, without you having to sort anything. An AI does that work in the background. The AI features are free to use, with a daily cap. What it suggests stays a suggestion. You decide. ALSO IN YOUR BROWSER todo.karbywarby.com, same account. Add it to your home screen on mobile and it behaves like an app. Free and ad-free.
