【The Philosophy】 Omit Task is a minimalist daily planner built on the philosophy of a "digital sticky note." We don’t believe in endless backlogs or overwhelming schedules. We believe in winning the day by doing less, but doing it better. 【Core Features】 Daily Reset: Every morning is a fresh start. Focus on today’s tasks and leave yesterday’s noise behind. The Rule of Five: Limits you to only five active tasks. It’s a deliberate constraint to help you prioritize what truly matters. Truly Offline: No accounts, no cloud, no internet required. Your privacy is as pure and secure as pen and paper. Smart Widgets: Check off tasks directly from your home screen. Stay focused without even opening the app. Daily Stats: Your focus, visualized. A simple, elegant way to measure your growth and close each day with a sense of fulfillment. 【Why Omit?】 No ads. No subscriptions. No clutter. Just a quiet space for you to stay productive and mindful. One day, one list. --- Privacy Policy: https://shadowsg.com/omit/privacy.html Terms of service: https://shadowsg.com/omit/terms.html
