Thirds is the simplest to-do list you'll ever use. If every productivity app feels like too much, this is your reset. No projects. No tags. No deadlines screaming at you. Just three lists: Present — what you're doing today Future — what can wait Past — what you've finished Speak your day out loud — “Gym. Call mom. Groceries. Finish report.” Thirds turns your voice into clean, organized tasks in seconds. Swipe left to see your streak and everything you've completed. Swipe right to see what's ahead — calm, quiet, no pressure. Most task apps are built on anxiety. Thirds is built on clarity. Past. Present. Future. That's all there is.

Pinpoint is a calm place for quick notes, checklists, voice memos and reminders. Capture it before you forget • Notes with a title, formatted text and a checklist, all in one • Checklists you can tick off and reorder • Voice memos, recorded right in the app • Photos and any file attached to a note, usable offline • Scan printed text from a photo into a note (Latin-alphabet languages) Remember what matters • Reminders at the time you choose • One-off, or repeating daily, weekly, monthly or yearly Find it when you need it • Folders, pins, archive and trash • Five soft note colours • Search across your notes Your notes, on your phone first • Works offline; the notes database on your phone is encrypted • Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock • Sign in to sync across your devices and back up to your own Google Drive • Export a note as PDF or Markdown • Light and dark themes How your notes are protected Notes and their attachments are encrypted on your device before they sync. In standard mode your encryption key is also kept on our server, so you can recover your notes on a new phone; that also means our server could decrypt them. Turn on zero-knowledge mode and the key is locked with a passphrase only you know, so we cannot read your notes. Reminder text and times are sent to our server so it can deliver the notification, and are not end-to-end encrypted. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to improve the app; when you are signed in they receive your account ID, never your notes or searches. Free and Pinpoint Pro Free: notes on your phone without limit, sync for up to 50 notes, 5 folders, 3 attachments per note, 20 text scans and 10 exports a month, and voice memos up to 2 minutes. Pinpoint Pro removes these limits: subscribe monthly or yearly, or buy it once for life. If a free trial is offered to you, the app shows it and its length before you pay. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Thai, Bengali, Arabic and Persian.
