Priority — Your day, in order. Most to-do apps let you collect tasks. Priority makes you choose what actually matters — and tells you the truth about what keeps slipping. PRIORITY IS EARNED, NOT ASSIGNED No priority flags, no P1/P2/P3 labels. The order of your list is the priority. Drag a task to the top and it becomes your top task — a deliberate choice you make with your thumb, not a dropdown you set once and ignore. START EACH DAY WITH A CONTRACT Pick the areas of your life you'll cater to today — Work, Health, your side project. Priority builds your day from that choice, one focused list with a clear number one. Finish it, and the day is honestly won. BLOCK THE TIME. THEN OWN IT. Give any task a time block and see it as a tangible slab on the built-in day calendar. When a block starts, a Live Activity countdown runs on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — no app-switching, no timers to manage. AN HONEST LEDGER Every postponement is counted, dated, and surfaced. See slip trends across the week, which category slips most, and today's contract score. When something has slipped three times, Priority gently asks the real question: is this still important, or should you let it go? No guilt. Just truth. BREAK BIG THINGS DOWN Subtasks with inline editing and drag-to-reorder, photo, video, and file attachments with real thumbnail previews, notes, and postponement history — every task carries its whole story. DELIBERATELY NO REPEATING TASKS Auto-generated tasks are commitments nobody actually made — they clutter lists and poison your honesty ledger with fake slips. In Priority, every task exists because you typed it, and every postponement is a real signal. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No servers of ours. Your data lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. We never see it, and we never sell it — there's nothing to sell. ALSO INCLUDED A morning and evening planning rhythm: a 9 PM "plan tomorrow" nudge with a 6 AM fallback Day rollover that keeps your list honest while you sleep Full iPhone and iPad support Built by one independent developer. No ads, no dark patterns, ever. PRIORITY PRO The free app is fully functional with up to five categories. Pro unlocks unlimited categories — available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tether at every 4 days against Priority's every 9 days. Tether also leads on iOS requirement (18 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
