A to-do app should be easy. So you can focus on what actually needs doing. But many to-do apps pile tags, categories, priorities, due reminders, and red badges onto that simple task. Managing the app ends up being more work than the task itself. Dunit strips away the needless clutter. As simple as the task in front of you โ€” nothing more. โ–  Time does the sorting Your tasks are grouped automatically into Today / Tomorrow / This Week / Next Week & beyond. Drag one to a later section to put it off, or pull it back to today the other way. Treat time as something that flows. โ–  Break big tasks down Expand the steps and check them off one by one. Every one you finish adds a little relief. โ–  Turn what repeats into routines Every day, weekdays, weekends, or just the days you choose. Make recurring tasks into routines and manage them with ease. Consistency builds into a record you can see at a glance. โ–  Not now, but don't want to forget Keep it in "Someday." Just one swipe to the right. Changed your mind? Pull it back to today anytime. โ–  See it all in a widget Right from your home and lock screens, check today's tasks and routines at a glance. โ–  iCloud sync Everything stays in sync across your devices, automatically. No separate account sign-up required. Get what you have to do out of your head, and your day feels a lot lighter. We built it to be the last one you'll settle on. Dunit.

About

Owly

Owly the Scribe is a to-do list you can share with your family or your team, with reminders that ring on the right phone. It also tells you when your day is full, so you stop planning days that don't fit. One purchase. No subscription, ever. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Shared to-do lists (Circles). Make a list for your son, your grandma or your team. You write it on your iPhone; it shows up on theirs as a list from you, like "Todo list from Mom". Everyone in it can add tasks and tick them off, and you can see who did what. โ€ข Reminders. Give a task a time and Owly reminds you. In a shared list, the reminder rings on the phone of the person it's for. From the notification you can mark it done or ask again in ten minutes. โ€ข Later. Not sure when you'll do something? Put it in Later. It waits there without cluttering your day until you give it a day. โ€ข A day with a limit. Tell Owly how much time you have today. As you add tasks, the load bar fills up, and it turns red before the day stops fitting. โ€ข Routines. Morning routine, medication, the evening shutdown. A routine unticks itself every morning, on the days you choose, so the checklist is ready again tomorrow. โ€ข Home Screen widgets. Tick tasks off or push one to tomorrow straight from the widget. Show your day, a routine, Later, one list or a shared list, on a theme or your own photo. HOW IT WORKS Type it the way you'd say it. "Call mum tomorrow 9am", "rent every month", "milk #groceries". Owly picks out the day, the time and the list as you type. Press Return to add the next one. Every task is Quick, Normal or Deep. Three sizes, no minute pickers. That's how Owly knows when your day is full. Decide, don't drift. If you keep putting a task off, Owly asks you to settle it: do it today, mark it done, or drop it. Your list stays honest. Shared lists stay out of your own day. What someone asks of you shows in a "From Circle" section of your Today, and can sit on your Home Screen as a widget, but it never fills your load bar. Only the person who made a shared list can delete its tasks. Add tasks with Siri and Shortcuts, too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your tasks live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, and we never see them. Shared lists go through iCloud, from your phone to theirs.
