Ikoi vs Backtask

Some days you're a productivity machine. Most days you're running on empty. Every other to-do app was built for the machine days, and quietly makes you feel broken on all the rest. Ikoi is the to-do list and daily planner for brains that don't run in a straight line. You pick the energy you've got, and Ikoi picks the task to match. WHY IKOI WORKS WHEN OTHER PLANNERS DON'T Most apps open to a wall of everything you haven't done. That's not a plan, it's a guilt machine. Ikoi shows you one thing at a time, sized to the energy you actually have right now. No infinite list, no red badges shouting at you. RUN ON YOUR REAL ENERGY, NOT YOUR IDEAL ONE Set your mode, Zombie, Okay, or Hyperfocus, and your list quietly reshapes around it. Low-spoon day? The heavy stuff steps back until you're ready for it. START BEFORE YOU FEEL READY Every task keeps a 2-minute first step, because starting is the wall, not the work. Do the tiny thing, then focus in a quiet Pomodoro session once you're moving. NOTHING PILES UP, NOTHING SHAMES YOU Cap your day in spoons and let skipped tasks fade instead of stacking. Build habits and gentle routines that bend on hard days instead of breaking, with reminders that nudge rather than nag. A HOME FOR EVERY LOUD THOUGHT Brain-dump it all and sort it later, or never. Turn a thought into a task, a reminder, or nothing at all. No judgment. MADE TO BE LIVED IN Six hand-drawn pixel-art themes, cozy and warm. A planner that feels like a game you want to open, not a spreadsheet you have to. MADE FOR People with ADHD, autistic folks, anyone in burnout or recovery, students drowning in deadlines, and every brain that's tired of apps built for someone else's. No guilt. No overwhelm. Just the next small thing. Terms of Service - https://ikoi.app/terms Terms of Use (EULA) - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy - https://ikoi.app/privacy

Recurring tasks you can count on. Native, private, synced with iCloud. Walk the pup, change the air filter, pay the rent, call your parents. Backtask reminds you when each task comes back around, and it doesn't guilt-trip you when you forget. That forgiving part is really the whole point. Most reminder apps just pile up on you. Miss a few days and you're stuck tapping "done" over and over to clear the backlog. Backtask works the other way around. Forget to check something off, and it quietly skips the ones you missed and marks today's as done, all in a single tap. You're caught up, and you never feel behind. It's careful in the other direction too. Tasks stay locked until they're actually due, so you can't tap a recurring task multiple times and push it weeks into the future. Every check-off is real, and so is every streak. At the top of your list there's a Today summary too. A small progress ring, and quick counts for what's overdue, due today, and coming up. It makes a plain to-do list feel like something worth finishing. Tap the ring and you get a focus view for the day: a quote up top, a big ring in the middle, and only the tasks that matter right now. Each one you finish slides off the list. A few things it does well: • Recurring tasks your way: every day, every few days, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly • Daily tasks can even repeat two or three times a day • Smart reminders that learn your routine and appear on time • A Home Screen widget that shows what's due • Streaks and stats with a month calendar for each task • A day streak that grows each day you clear everything • Colorful categories • Undo that works Your tasks stay yours. There's no account to create, no tracking, and no ads. Everything syncs between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac over your own iCloud. Backtask is free for up to 5 tasks, with all of the above included. If you need more room, Pro gets you unlimited tasks plus reminders that keep nudging until a task is actually done, for just .99 per year. Made in Kentucky by Seb Fontan (that's me).
