Good things take time. Real progress is built through small things done consistently — it won’t feel like much, until it does. Things take time is an app for tracking what matters, the small things, and seeing how they compound over time. KEY FEATURES • Track anything From habits and routines to personal metrics, notes, and daily actions — build trackers that fit your life, not the other way around. • See everything side by side Most apps show one tracker at a time, which hides the bigger picture. This one shows them all together so you can see patterns across your month. • Your month at a glance See how small things add up across your month, so you can stay consistent and notice real progress. • Built for ease of use Tracking should feel effortless. Everything is designed to be fast, simple, and intuitive. • Understand your patterns Detailed analytics for every tracker to help you uncover trends and better understand your progress over time. • Privacy first Your data stays on your device or in your iCloud. Nothing is collected, and nothing is tracked. Progress is often invisible in the moment. Things take time was built to make it visible — by showing how small things add up over time.

Three lists. That's the whole app. ◆ TODAY — what you're actually doing today. Short, deliberate, ruthless. If it's here, it gets done. ◆ NEXT — what's coming up soon. Real commitments, parked out of your way until they're due. ◆ SOMEDAY — everything else. Ideas, maybe-laters, the stuff rattling around your head. Out of your brain, into the app, no false urgency. No projects. No tags. No nested subtasks. No setup wizard. Open it and go. TYPE IT LIKE YOU'D SAY IT Write "dentist Friday 3pm" and Hustla gives you "Dentist" with a Friday 3:00 PM reminder, on the right card, before you save. No syntax to learn. Nothing to configure. Start with "next:" or "someday:" if you want to aim it somewhere specific. Built on Apple Intelligence and running entirely on your device. Nothing you type or say is sent anywhere. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY FIRE Set a reminder on any to-do, and Hustla will chase you for it. No configuration, no rules engine — pick a time, get told. NOTES WHERE THEY BELONG Every to-do holds its own notes. The address, the order number, the thing you meant to say. Attached to the task instead of buried in a separate notes app. CAPTURE IT ANYWHERE - Just talk to Siri. Typos, filler words and near-miss wording still land on the right to-do - Push, bring, send or move a to-do to another card by voice - "Update the notes on X", "Mark X as started", "What's next in Hustla" - Quick Add widget right on your Lock Screen - Long-press the app icon to drop straight into Today, Next, or Someday - Pin "New To-Do" to Control Center or your Action Button - Home screen widgets so today's list is always in view BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT A SECOND JOB Most to-do apps make you configure a productivity system before you can write down "call the dentist." Hustla doesn't. Three lists, swipe to move, tap to kill. Clean, fast, and distraction-free by design. SYNCS AND STAYS OUT OF THE WAY iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase covers all three. On Mac, Pro adds a capture panel you can summon with a keystroke from inside any app. Four Liquid Glass app icons. Light, dark, tinted, clear — it adapts. PERFECT FOR - Daily to-do lists that you'll actually finish - Simple GTD workflows - Anyone escaping an overcomplicated task manager FREE TO START Core Hustla is free, including Smart Quick-Add. Pro unlocks with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Monthly, yearly, and a pay-once Lifetime option with Family Sharing are all available — current prices are shown above in In-App Purchases.
