FireDone brings native Liquid Glass to your daily plans, with tasks, countdowns, habit check-ins and focus timers in one privacy-first, local-first app. What makes FireDone different from typical to-do apps is simple: every list can be managed as a real file. You can store lists in local folders or iCloud Drive, view them in the Files app, move them, copy them, and share them instead of being locked into a closed database. Why FireDone stands out: • Native Liquid Glass design Enjoy translucent cards and toolbars with native Liquid Glass on iOS and iPadOS 26 or later. Choose from multiple themes to make your lists feel your own. • Task lists that open fast Add tasks quickly, break work into subtasks, and keep rich notes so each task can hold real context. • Widgets for tasks, countdowns, and habit check-ins View today’s tasks, countdowns, and habit progress from your home screen without opening the app. • Countdowns and habit check-ins Track birthdays, deadlines, milestones, and daily check-ins without mixing everything into one view. • 25-minute Pomodoro and task timers Start a full-screen focus timer from a task, then pause, stop, and keep moving with less friction. • Quadrant view Separate urgent work from what can wait and reprioritize tasks faster. • File-based list management Every list is a standalone .firedone file. Organize multiple lists in folders and keep them in locations you control, including iCloud Drive. • No account required No signup, no email, no phone number. Your data stays on-device or in the location you choose. • Unlock unlimited countdowns, habit check-ins, and more with FireDone Pro A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited countdowns and habit check-ins, plus list lock, quadrant view, Pomodoro timer, subtask timer, due dates, reminders, and premium themes.
