About

Float

Features
Read full description

Float is a to-do app with three spaces. Write everything that comes to mind into the Dump space at the bottom: groceries, ideas, someday tasks. Move what you're still deciding on up to the Think space in the middle, and what you'll focus on today to the Focus space at the top. Moving takes one drag: press, lift, and drop. When an item crosses a boundary, the edge ripples under your fingertip. • Three spaces — Focus, Think, Dump. Nothing moves on its own. You always decide the order. • Drag to move — press and hold to lift, then drop it exactly where you want. Move with a button and the boundary bounces gently as the item passes. • Several at once — tap to select multiple items and move them together. • One-handed mode — one button brings all three spaces down to your thumb. • Double-tap to complete — a hand-drawn line strikes through and the item goes to the archive. Deleted by mistake? Undo right away. • Repeat reminders — things you can't forget come back every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 hours. Complete the item and the reminder stops. • Backup and restore — export and import a file. Free for everyone. • Themes — nine colors. The app icon can match your theme. Premium (one-time purchase) unlocks eight themes and expands dump pages from 3 to 7. Everything else is free. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your device.
