My Next: Todo is a calm, private planning app for your personal life — not work. Plan your week with clarity, manage your days with focus, and keep your app content on your device. WEEKLY PLANNING Create plans for your week or month and organize them in list or kanban view. Set up a weekly routine so recurring tasks are added automatically each new week. Move todos between Unplanned, Planned, and Done with simple gestures. DAILY FOCUS See today’s todos at a glance, sorted by time. Swipe right to complete, swipe left to skip, or move a todo to another day. Use notifications to stay on track and act directly from the lock screen. WAKE ALARM Set tomorrow’s alarm from the day view or plan each weekday in Weekly Routine. Preview built-in melodies, choose optional gradual volume, and adjust snooze. Prefer no sound? Choose haptic delivery, which follows your system settings, or a silent notification. Add a bedtime reminder based on your desired sleep and wind-down time. Optionally hold todo notifications during the night and snooze until you stop the alarm. With a silent notification, held notifications are released at the scheduled alarm time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account required. No ads. Your app content stays on your device, under your control. Optional anonymous usage analytics contain no todo or alarm content and can be turned off completely. Back up anytime to iCloud, Files, Dropbox, or AirDrop. CALM BY DESIGN No gamification. No streaks. No pressure. Just a simple, thoughtful app that helps you bring structure and clarity to your personal life. FREE FOREVER Create up to 3 plans, auto-generate 2 weeks ahead, set up to 5 repeating todos, and use every Wake Alarm feature on 3 active alarm days. Extra adds unlimited alarm days, plans, and repeating todos. Terms of Use (EULA): https://mynextstudio.com/my-next/todo/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://mynextstudio.com/my-next/todo/privacy/

``` Stop staring at your to-do list trying to decide what to do next. Sukima is the app that picks one thing for you, in the moment you're in. When you have a 15-minute gap between meetings, an hour at home before bed, or a quiet morning before the day starts, Sukima tells you what to do with it. Based on your time, your energy, and where you are. HOW IT WORKS Get everything out of your head, by voice or by text. Sukima's AI sorts it once into tasks, projects, goals, and ideas, with priorities, deadlines, and next steps. Then, forever after, it picks what fits the moment you're in. WHAT MAKES SUKIMA DIFFERENT Every other productivity app asks you to organize first. Pick categories. Choose a methodology. Tag everything. Sukima inverts that. You tell it everything once, the AI sorts for you, then when your brain is loud and you can't decide what's next, Sukima decides for you. No system to learn. No methodology to master. No setup ritual. THE NAME Sukima (隙間) is the Japanese word for the small breathing-room gap between things. The pause. The interval. The whole app is built around one insight: you have more usable time than you think, scattered through your day in small windows. The right tool helps you find those gaps and fill them, without making you build a system first. FEATURES - Voice and text capture (AI sorts what you say or type) - "Pick" tab picks one thing based on your time, energy, and location - AI daily planning each morning - Auto-generated next steps for every item - Deadline-aware Today view - Home Screen widget and Control Center tile - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, web PRICING Free to start. $9.99/month or $79.99/year for unlimited AI sorting, unlimited Picks, and AI daily planning. Sukima. The app that picks for you, when you can't. SUBSCRIPTION Sukima Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Monthly and annual plans are available, with the price and length shown on the product page before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and the subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://sukima.ai/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
