Read full descriptionHide full description
"Capture it before you forget." PocketToDo is a quiet ToDo app built around one thing: never losing the small tasks. --- β The big ones get done. The small ones slip. "Quick reply." "Submit the shift form." "Send that sticker." These small tasks get buried in long lists, lost in notification streams, and quietly pass their moment. But they're not big enough to deserve their own note. PocketToDo is a place to catch and finish exactly those β the small things that take two taps on your phone. --- β Just two ideas. γWhen you capture: hold by weightγ On drop-in, pick one of 4 tiles β head (light/heavy) Γ time (short/long): Snap Β· Casual Β· Think Β· Focus γWhen you pull: filter by sceneγ On the home screen, switch between 4 scenes β and only the tasks doable right now appear, lightest first. On the go β Snap + Casual + Think Before bed β Snap only Morning β Snap + Casual Between tasks β Snap + Casual "What I can actually do, right now" β only that, in front of you. --- β Quiet by design. Β· No notifications. Nothing nags you. Β· Sorted by ease, not urgency. Small wins, stacked up. Β· One-line capture + one tap to weight. Three seconds, done. Β· Capture from Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, or the Action button β without opening the app. Β· Stored only on your device. No account, no sign-in. --- β Free features Β· Capture, edit, complete tasks Β· 4 scenes (On the go, Between tasks, Morning, Before bed) Β· Customize which weights appear per scene Β· Daily repeating tasks (complete it, and it comes back tomorrow) Β· One-line capture from Siri, Shortcuts, and the Action button Β· Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus Control Center (iOS 18) Β· Last 7 days of completed history Β· Default + dark themes Β· Manual CSV export (keep an external record) --- β PocketToDo Pro features Β· Full history (no 7-day cutoff) Β· Review: tasks finished this week and month, weight breakdown, and streaks for daily tasks Β· 4 additional color themes (Yoake, Mori, Nagisa, Sakura) Β· Make up to 3 custom palettes of your own (widgets follow your theme) Β· The home-screen icon follows your chosen theme Β· Rename the 4 weights β both name and meaning β in your own words Pricing: $23.99 / year Β· $2.99 / month Β· $58.99 one-time β» Yearly β 39% off vs monthly (~$2/mo effective) β» 7-day free trial on subscriptions β Terms (subscriptions) - Yearly: $23.99 / year (includes a 7-day free trial; billed after the trial ends) - Monthly: $2.99 / month (includes a 7-day free trial; billed after the trial ends) - Lifetime: $58.99 (one-time payment, no auto-renewal) Subscriptions (yearly, monthly) auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; payment is charged to your Apple ID at renewal.
