Leaf is a minimal, gesture-first checklist built around a single active list. No folders, no projects, no noise — just the 10 things that actually matter today. WHY LEAF IS DIFFERENT • 10 active task cap — forces you to pick what matters instead of hoarding an endless backlog • Priority through typography — high-priority tasks UPPERCASE, medium bold, low regular. No colored tags, no clutter • Gesture-first — swipe to complete, swipe vertically to change priority, swipe sideways between lists, two-finger undo, three-finger redo • One active list at a time — a unified carousel of your Leaf lists and Apple Reminders calendars BUILT FOR APPLE • Lock Screen, Home Screen, and StandBy widgets — every family (small, medium, large, circular, rectangular, inline) • Apple Watch app with complications across every family • Live Activities that update across list switches • Apple Reminders sync, so your existing lists come with you • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac SMART ACTIVATION • Time-based rules — Leaf switches to your morning list at 8am, your shutdown list at 6pm • Focus integration — a dedicated Focus Filter switches lists when you enter Work, Personal, or any custom Focus • Location triggers — walk into the gym, Leaf opens your workout list (requires Always-on location permission) PRODUCTIVITY POLISH • Inline math — type 47+83 and Leaf evaluates on commit • Hyperlink detection with tap-to-open • Pinch-to-share as Markdown • Drag and drop plain text to import tasks • Keyboard shortcuts on Mac, including a global hot key for instant show FREE FOREVER, UNLOCK WHEN READY Leaf is free to use with up to 3 active tasks.
