todd vs FoldNotes

Todd shows you where your time actually goes. Plan a session, work through your tasks, and see the truth when you're done. No rigid timers. No guilt. No gamification. Just honest evidence of how you spend your time. That's the core. Everything else builds on it. SOFT TIMEBOXING Pick your tasks, start a session, and let time flow. Move between tasks naturally. Pause when you need to. There's no countdown forcing you to stop. When you're done, you're done. SESSION REVIEW After every session, see a visual timeline of each task, pause, and switch. Reallocate time if reality didn't match the plan. Reflect on how it went. The evidence is there. What you do with it is up to you. INTELLIGENT FEED Your task list surfaces what matters: momentum, due dates, recurring commitments. Less deciding, more doing. RECURRING TASKS Tasks repeat on your schedule. Todd asks "Add to today?" instead of auto-populating your list. Pulling in what fits is a choice. Dismissing is too. INSIGHTS (todd+) Five pattern modules that watch your work quietly: planning drift, focus fragmentation, backlog pressure, commitment reliability, session rhythm. Not dashboards. Nudges. Todd notices a trend. You decide what to do. OVERVIEW & ATLAS (todd+) Where your time lands, across areas and weeks. Session-level detail when you want it. CALENDAR SYNC Apple Calendar and Google Calendar. Your events alongside your tasks, so you plan around your real day. SAVED PLANS Days that repeat deserve templates. Load one and start in seconds. HISTORY & DARK MODE Browse any day. See what you did and how long it took. Full dark mode, automatic or manual. FREE VS TODD+ Sessions, tasks, recurring tasks, calendar, history, and saved plans are free. todd+ adds Insights, Atlas, and reports. OFFLINE FIRST Works without internet. Syncs when you're back. Your data stays on your device.

Some notes are short. Others grow into chapters, plans and running logs you scroll past a hundred times. FoldNotes lets you fold the finished parts away, so a long note stays as small as the part you are actually working on. Every note is a plain Markdown file. No database, no proprietary format, no export step. Your notes sit in iCloud Drive or on your device, and any other app can open them, today or in ten years. It is also a real iOS app, written in Swift. Not a web page in a wrapper. It opens instantly, works offline, handles a hardware keyboard properly, and does not sit in the background eating your battery. FOLD ANYTHING • Collapse any heading or list item and everything beneath it folds away • Hoist a section to work on it alone, with everything else out of sight • Task counts stay on the folded heading, so you can see what is left without unfolding WRITTEN FOR MARKDOWN • Live styling as you type — headings, lists, quotes, code, links • Six heading levels, and GFM tables with a real table editor • Code blocks with syntax highlighting • Wiki-links [[like this]], with previews and automatic backlinks • Nested tags TASKS WHERE YOU WROTE THEM • Four states: to do, in progress, done and cancelled • Due dates and priorities written inline, in plain text • Assign them to a project and add context and comments • Counts roll up to the section above them BUILT FOR IPAD • Library, notes and editor side by side • Hardware keyboard shortcuts throughout • An inspector with outline, tasks, references, properties and a note graph • Scan printed text straight into a note with the camera FIND ANYTHING • Search every note, including regular expressions • Saved queries and database views across your whole collection • Daily notes with a calendar COMING FROM ANOTHER APP • Import from Bear or Obsidian in a tap • Or simply point FoldNotes at the Markdown files you already have MAKE IT YOURS • Light and dark themes, including Nord, Dracula and Catppuccin • Choose your body, heading and code fonts • Paragraph focus, sentence focus and typewriter scrolling Folding is not a formatting trick. A long document asks you to hold every section in your head at once; folding lets you put the finished ones down. That is the whole idea, and everything else here is built around it. Your notes will outlive this app, and every app like it. That is rather the point.
