Do it Myshelf
Read full descriptionHide full description
Do it Myshelf is a focused task manager built around a simple idea: you can only work on three things at a time. Your tasks live on a wooden shelf with exactly three slots. Everything else stays tucked away in a drawer below. When you finish a task, the next one moves up automatically. No endless lists. No overwhelm. Just three things, right in front of you. KEY FEATURES ⢠Shelf + Drawer system ā Only your top 3 tasks are visible. The rest wait in the drawer until you're ready. ⢠Multiple projects ā Swipe through up to 15 projects, each with its own shelf. Inactive projects fade so you stay focused on what matters now. ⢠Guided setup ā A simple wizard walks you through creating a project: name it, list your tasks, then pick which 3 go on the shelf first. ⢠Quick editing ā Long-press to rearrange, rename, or move tasks between shelf and drawer. Context menus keep everything one tap away. ⢠Archive & restore ā Done with a project? Archive it. Changed your mind? Bring it back. ⢠Offline & private ā Works without an account. Your data stays on your device with iCloud sync. Do it Myshelf doesn't try to be everything. It does one thing well: keeping you focused on what's next.
Ichi

Ichi is the calmest way to do one thing at a time. Most to-do apps hand you a wall of tasks and a quiet feeling of dread. Ichi does the opposite: it collapses the whole list down to a single, beautiful screen ā the one thing you're on right now. Finish it, and the next one rises gently into place. Reach the end, and the screen quietly exhales: all clear. No due dates. No "overdue." No streaks to protect, no caps to hit, no ads. Just the next thing, and the calm of knowing nothing is slipping through. ONE TASK, FRONT AND CENTER ⢠Your single most important task, in beautiful big type ⢠Complete it and the next one rises into place ā a calm move, never confetti ⢠An ordered "Up next" queue you reorder with a drag; the top becomes now CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION ⢠Add a task in a tap ā from the app, a Home Screen widget, the Share Sheet, or a word to Siri ⢠Everything new waits quietly in the queue until you're ready for it ⢠Nothing is ever silently deleted A WIDGET THAT'S NEVER STALE ⢠Glance at your current task from the Home Screen, Lock Screen, or StandBy ⢠It reads the same source as the app, so it always shows the true next thing MADE TO FEEL GOOD ⢠Spring-physics motion, considered haptics, and Liquid Glass materials ⢠Four hand-tuned themes ā Warm Paper and Cool Mist free; Nocturne and Aurora with Pro ⢠Light and dark, full Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion support ⢠Private by design ā your tasks sync through your own iCloud, never our servers ICHI PRO Every feature is free, forever. Pro is purely for the beauty: the Nocturne and Aurora themes, the StandBy nightstand widget, and alternate app icons. Pro is available as a one-time purchase or a yearly auto-renewable subscription, and is always restorable. Pro never sells capacity, there are no caps to lift. Do one thing. Then the next. ā Ichi Pro (yearly) is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same price and duration unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict
