About

DailyDo

Features
Read full description

DailyDo is a daily task list that resets every night at midnight. No project management. No backlogs. No overdue guilt. Just today's tasks β€” written, done, gone. -------------------------- DAILY RESET Every night your list clears itself. Completed tasks disappear. The slate is clean. It's the digital equivalent of tearing off a sheet from a notepad. LEFTOVERS Didn't finish something? DailyDo remembers. The next morning, yesterday's unfinished tasks slide up in a sheet so you can carry forward what still matters β€” or start fresh. NAMED LISTS Some things don't reset: grocery runs, packing lists, errands. Create named lists that persist until you're done with them. Access them instantly from the side drawer. REMINDERS Attach a time to any task. A notification fires at that exact moment with a Done action β€” mark it complete without even opening the app. STATISTICS Track your momentum with streaks, activity grids, weekly trends, day-of-week patterns, and peak productivity hours. 7-day, 30-day, and 90-day views. APPLE WATCH Your tasks on your wrist. Add tasks by voice. Mark them done with a tap. Synced instantly with the phone. 4 THEMES White. Sand. Charcoal. Black. Pick the one that disappears into your workflow. -------------------------- DailyDo is for people who write their day on a sticky note and throw it away at night. It's not a project manager. It's not a second brain. It's today.
