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/
