About

Do it Myshelf

Read 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 β€’ Shelf + Drawer system β€” Only your top 3 tasks are visible. The rest wait in the drawer until you're ready. β€’ Multiple projects β€” Swipe through up to 15 projects, each with its own shelf. Inactive projects fade so you stay focused on what matters now. β€’ Guided setup β€” A simple wizard walks you through creating a project: name it, list your tasks, then pick which 3 go on the shelf first. β€’ Quick editing β€” Long-press to rearrange, rename, or move tasks between shelf and drawer. Context menus keep everything one tap away. β€’ Archive & restore β€” Done with a project? Archive it. Changed your mind? Bring it back. β€’ Offline & private β€” 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.

Keep your notes close. Local Memo organizes notes, folders, photos and voice recordings on your iPhone or iPad, without an account or cloud sync. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Create as many folders as you need, nested up to 15 levels deep. Choose folder colors from a palette or fine-tune them with hue, saturation and brightness sliders. Move items between folders, use drag and drop, and switch between grid and list views. WRITE AND COLLECT Write notes with bold, red or blue text. Add photos directly to folders or attach photos and files to notes. Record and play voice memos alongside your writing. FIND WHAT YOU NEED Search folder names, note titles and text, photo names and attachment filenames. Matching text is highlighted to help you find the right item. LOCK PRIVATE FOLDERS Protect selected folders with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. Your device must have a passcode set. The app does not store your password. Locked content is excluded from the Home Screen widget. MAKE IT COMFORTABLE Choose your own background color and black or white text. If a combination becomes hard to read, restore the default colors in Settings. Red and blue note text keeps its own color. QUICK ACCESS Use the small widget to create a new note, or the medium and large widgets to read a selected note. The layout adapts to iPhone and iPad, including landscape orientation. ON YOUR DEVICE Your notes and files stay in the app on your device. There is no account, advertising, analytics or in-app purchase, and the app does not sync through iCloud or an external server. Keep a device backup: deleting the app also deletes its contents. Links to the developer’s other apps open the App Store. 20 LANGUAGES Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese.
