Today3
Read full descriptionHide full description
Today3 is a restrained, focused to-do app. Instead of encouraging you to fill every minute, it helps you choose the few tasks that truly matter today and finish them one at a time. β’ Keep Today to three tasks: reduce choices and focus on what matters now. β’ Leave the rest in Later: capture ideas without interrupting your current work. β’ Review your day: organize completed, deferred, and tomorrowβs tasks. β’ Gentle reminders: receive calm prompts at fixed times without repeated nagging. β’ Task details and photo attachments: add notes and images without making the home screen heavy. β’ Ambient awareness: weather, light, and time subtly shape the interface. Today3 has no ads and does not track you across apps. Your tasks and images support your own list experience and can sync across your devices with iCloud.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Today3 at none against Dot's 3. Dot's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
