DOTHING
Read full descriptionHide full description
Managing tasks isn't doing tasks. Most to-do apps ask you to build a system first. Projects, tags, priorities, filters. DOTHING skips all of that. You add a task, it shows up on its day, and you tap it done. We made it for people who care how their tools look and feel, and who would rather spend their attention on the work than on the list. SIMPLE BY DESIGN ⢠Type a task, or hold + and say it. ⢠Two lists: Today and Upcoming. That's the whole structure. ⢠Open a task when it needs more: steps, notes, photos and files. ONE TASK AT A TIME ⢠Block distracting apps while you work on a task. ⢠See where your focused hours went. BETTER TOGETHER ⢠Share a task with family or coworkers. Everyone sees the same steps and notes. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH ⢠Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy. ⢠Ask Siri to add a task or read you today's list. ⢠Made for iPhone and iPhone Duo, upright or sideways. YOURS ALONE ⢠No account to create. Your tasks sync through your own iCloud. FREE AND PRO DOTHING is free for up to 5 open tasks, with 3 steps each. Pro removes the limits. Pay once. No subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Task Gremlin at 3 against DOTHING's 1. Task Gremlin also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
