Carry is a simple to do app built around a habit that works well on paper. Each morning starts with a fresh page. You write down what you need to do today. At the end of the day, anything unfinished carries over to tomorrow. That small act of rewriting helps you see what still matters and what probably does not. Carry brings that idea to your phone without adding a bunch of extra stuff. No account. No setup. No projects, tags, or complicated menus. You just open the app and start writing. Unfinished tasks roll forward to the next day automatically, so nothing falls through the cracks, but you still see them, every morning, until you either do them or decide they don't matter. No ads, no tracking. Just your tasks. Free Features • A simple daily page for today’s tasks • Unfinished tasks automatically carry over • Search past days and jump right to them • Calendar view with markers for busy days • Add tasks with Siri and Shortcuts • Local reminders and notifications Premium Features: One-time purchase. Pay once, keep forever. • Recurring tasks: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly • Home Screen widgets • Multiple profiles. Never mix your tasks (personal, work or anything) • Export you tasks as plain text or markdown
