DidThat is a done list - the opposite of a to-do list. Instead of planning what you should do, you log what you already did. There are no goals to miss, no boxes left unchecked, and no failure state. You just notice what you accomplished, and the app quietly celebrates it. The idea is simple: ADHD brains and busy people massively underestimate how much they get done in a day. DidThat fixes that by giving you a place to capture it all - from "replied to an email at work" to "got out of bed" to "made lunch." Everything counts. HOW IT WORKS Tap to log what you just did. That's it. An entry goes on your list with a timestamp. Do this throughout the day and watch your count grow. At the end of the day, you'll be surprised how much was on it. FEATURES - Freeform entries — type whatever you want, no templates or predefined tasks - Optional categories — tag entries like Work, Self-Care, Home, Social, or Fun, or don't - uncategorised is fine - History — browse past days, weeks, and months to see what you did - Insights — weekly and all-time views with category breakdowns and your most active days - 6 colour themes — each with light and dark mode, follows your device setting or set manually - Home screen widgets — see your count at a glance and tap to log - Daily nudge — an optional evening notification that tells you how many things you did today (and stays silent on days you didn't log) - No zeros anywhere — if you haven't logged anything today, the app shows a friendly prompt instead of "0 things done" - iCloud sync — your entries sync across all your devices automatically DESIGNED FOR ENCOURAGEMENT DidThat is built around one principle: every interaction should feel like a small win. The count bounces when you log something. Your history shows colourful bars that grow with each entry. Days you didn't log simply don't appear - no gaps, no guilt. The insights page shows patterns without ever comparing you to yourself or setting targets. There are no streaks that break. No week-over-week comparisons. No "you did less than last week" messaging. Just your data, presented warmly, without judgment. PRICING DidThat is free to try for 5 days with full access to every feature. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the app forever. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. PRIVACY All your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. DidThat has no analytics, no third-party tracking, and no server. Your entries are yours.

NowNextLater is an ADHD-friendly planner for anyone who freezes when they look at a normal to-do list. Instead of showing everything at once, it holds your day in three simple buckets: NOW, NEXT and LATER. One task in NOW. Everything else waits its turn. Feeling stuck? Tap Nudge, your AI sidekick. It breaks the task into tiny first steps, reshapes your day when you're running late, and never judges you for yesterday. Smart NOW picks the best task to start based on your energy, the time you actually have and what's in your calendar. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • One task at a time — the rest is out of sight, not lost • Tell it your energy (low / normal / high) and your plan adjusts • "I'm overwhelmed" parks the noise in LATER, safely, in one tap • Nothing shouts. No red badges, no guilt, no streak-shaming IN THE FREE PLAN • NOW / NEXT / LATER planning, up to 10 active tasks • Reminders and recurring tasks • Just 10 — a 10-minute "just start" timer • Completed history, streaks and progress • Calendar view, cloud sync across your devices • Themes: Dark Neon, Plain Dark, Plain White, Calm and Bright WITH PRO • Nudge AI — get unstuck, break tasks down, replan the day by chat or voice • Smart NOW suggestions based on energy, time and calendar • Photo capture — snap a written list, letter or whiteboard and it becomes tasks • Rescue modes — Running late, Morning reset, Missed yesterday • Routine stacks — drop a whole morning or evening routine in as one checklist • Focus companion — Nudge sits with you through a sprint (body doubling) • Add tasks to Google Calendar, subscribe to any .ics calendar • Unlimited active tasks • Extra themes including Chrome Rainbow, plus stickers and sticky notes TRY IT FIRST Have a proper look around for 24 hours before creating an account. Anything you add is kept when you sign up. Built on ADHD-friendly planning principles — but if you struggle with overwhelm, procrastination or task paralysis, it's for you too.
