今日、何をするか。それさえ見えれば、十分ではありませんか。 Hibiは「今日」だけを映すTodoアプリです。過去のタスクで画面が埋まることもなく、未来の予定に追われることもなく、ただ今日やることだけに集中できる。そのために、機能を削りました。 ■ 朝、開く。それだけ。 スマホを開くと、今日の日付。平日なら平日のRoutine、休日なら休日のRoutineが自動で並んでいます。メールチェック、カレンダー確認、ひとつずつ丸を埋めていく。今日やることを、その下に書き足していく。昨日終わらなかったタスクは、静かに今日のページに移っている。それだけです。 ■ できること 平日/休日で自動切り替わるRoutine、今日のTodo、未完了Todoの自動繰り越し、1日1ページの過去ログ、iPhone/iPad/Macの自動同期(iCloud)、ダークモード対応。 ■ あえて、入れていない機能 期日設定、優先度、タグ、プロジェクト、通知、アカウント登録、広告。機能を増やすたびに「今日」がぼやけていく。だからHibiは増やしません。 ■ こんな方におすすめ Apple純正メモ帳でTodoを管理している方。電車でサッと使いたい方。多機能なTodoアプリが続かなかった方。サブスク疲れしている方。シンプルな道具を長く使いたい方。 ■ 同期について iCloudを使って自動で同期します。アカウント作成もサーバーへのログインも不要。iPhoneでチェックを付ければ、Macでもチェックが付いている。それだけです。データはあなたのiCloudにのみ保存され、開発者からも見えません。 ■ 開発者から Hibiは、私自身がApple純正メモ帳で毎朝Todoを書いていた習慣から生まれました。日付、Routine、その日のタスク。このフォーマットを、もっと簡単に、もっとシンプルに。機能を増やす誘惑とは戦い続けます。「ない機能」こそが、Hibiの価値だからです。 毎日のあなたの今日が、ちいさく整いますように。
