About

DOTHING

Managing tasks isn't doing tasks. Most to-do apps ask you to build a system first. Projects, tags, folders, priorities, filters. You spend Sunday setting it up and abandon it by Thursday. DOTHING has none of that. You add a task. It shows up on the day it's due. You tap it done. That's the whole app. Say it or type it Hold the button and talk. Transcription happens on your iPhone โ€” "call Mom tomorrow at 6" becomes a task, dated, without you touching a date picker. Everywhere you already look Widgets on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. StandBy on your nightstand. Your tasks on Apple Watch. Yours alone No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Your tasks sync through your own iCloud and go nowhere else. Pay once $14.99, one time. No subscription, no renewal, no second ask. Try it free for 7 days first. Most to-do apps grow. This one won't.
