To Do is the smallest possible to-do list — built around the macOS menu bar and your iPhone home screen. No accounts. No upsells. No clutter. Add a task, finish it, move on. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Lives in your menu bar. The next thing you need to do is one keystroke away — never buried in another tab. • Designed for the iPhone widget. Today's list is glanceable from the home screen. • iCloud sync that just works. Tasks added on Mac show up on iPhone in seconds. • Today vs. Later. Push a task to Later when it's not for now — it stays out of your way until you bring it back. • Buckets. Group tasks by project or category when you want, ignore them when you don't. • Drag, edit, and complete with no friction. Built for fast, frequent use. PRIVACY To Do stores your tasks locally and syncs them through your private iCloud account. There is no server, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing collected by us — your tasks never leave Apple's iCloud and your devices. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone and iPad: iOS / iPadOS 17 or later • Mac: macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later • iCloud sign-in for cross-device sync Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

I made this for myself. I have ADHD, and one long to-do list just freezes me. I can't tell what's actually on fire and what can wait, so I end up doing nothing. So I built the thing I needed, and figured some of you might need it too. Here's how it works. You write a task down before it leaves your head, then you put it in one of four buckets: - Do Now - Plan - Handle Soon - Later Four buckets. Not twenty lists, not folders inside folders. Just four places for a thing to go. What's in it: - Quick capture, so writing a task down isn't its own little chore - An Inbox for everything you haven't sorted yet - Recurring tasks: Daily, Weekdays, Weekly, or Monthly. You can also type a tag like @daily when you capture - Drag tasks into the order you want in Inbox and the Matrix - A Completed list, so finished stuff goes somewhere instead of staring at you - Siri and App Shortcuts, if you'd rather just say it out loud - Home Screen widgets, so your matrix stays visible without opening anything - Five curated color themes plus one custom palette. Curated themes stay contrast-checked in light and dark; a custom palette can keep the colors you pick even when contrast is low - Rename the four buckets to whatever your brain actually calls them - Optional private iCloud sync, so your tasks can show up on your iPhone and iPad - German, Spanish, Italian, and Simplified Chinese, with English as the fallback About your data: it lives on your device. You don't make an account, you don't sign in, and I don't run analytics or hand your stuff to anyone. The sync is your own iCloud, between your own Apple devices. It's free. No subscription, no ads. iPhone and iPad, iOS 18 and up. One honest note: this won't fix your brain, and I'd be lying if I said it would. It's just a small, quiet place to put your tasks that didn't make me feel worse to use. I built it by myself, around how my own brain actually works. That was the whole goal.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ADHD Matrix at 100% against Just Tasks's 0%. ADHD Matrix also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). Just Tasks's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
