TodayPin is a simple to-do app for quickly capturing today’s tasks and keeping your most important task always in sight. Sometimes, you do not need a complex project management tool. You just need to know what to do next today. TodayPin focuses on a simple flow: add tasks, reorder them, and check them off when they are done. Even after you close the app, you can see your remaining tasks and next task on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Key Features β€’ Quick task entry for today Type into the bottom input field and add a task instantly. Capture what comes to mind before you forget it. β€’ Lock Screen and Dynamic Island support When you have remaining tasks for today, TodayPin shows your progress and next task through Live Activity. Stay aware of what to do next without opening the app. β€’ Drag to reorder priorities Drag unfinished tasks to change their order. The task at the top becomes your next task. β€’ Manage tasks by date Plan not only today’s tasks, but also upcoming tasks in advance. Completed tasks remain organized by date. β€’ See your progress at a glance Check completed tasks, total tasks, remaining tasks, and overall progress in one simple view. β€’ Apple Reminders integration When enabled in Settings, TodayPin can sync with Apple Reminders so you can manage today’s and upcoming reminders from your default reminders list. β€’ Add tasks with Shortcuts Add today’s tasks directly through Siri, the Home Screen, the Action Button, or the Shortcuts app. β€’ Custom accent colors Choose from the default color, lavender, coral, or your own custom accent color to personalize the app and Live Activity. β€’ A day boundary that fits your rhythm TodayPin starts a new day at 5:00 AM, so tasks added late at night or early in the morning still fit naturally into your daily flow. TodayPin does not try to do everything. It focuses on the few things you need to remember today’s tasks and get them done. Do not keep your tasks stuck in your head. Pin them with TodayPin. Your next task becomes clearer.

Scribble

Scribble is the fastest way to get a thought out of your head. Most to-do apps make you wait β€” open the app, find the right list, tap a plus, then type. By then the thought's gone and you're back to scribbling on paper. Scribble opens straight to a blank line with the keyboard already up. Type it, hit return, and it's saved. That's the whole app. β€’ Instant capture β€” the keyboard is up the moment you open it. No menus, no lists to scroll past. β€’ Rapid-fire β€” hit return to save and keep going. Empty your head in one sitting. β€’ Natural dates β€” type "call mom friday" or "renew passport in 2 weeks" and Scribble quietly files the date for you. β€’ Hands-free β€” say "Hey Siri, Scribble" on your iPhone or Apple Watch and just speak. It lands in your list. β€’ Calm by design β€” pen-blue ink on warm paper. Nothing to configure, nothing to nag you. No account. No sign-up. No ads. Your jots stay on your device. Scribble isn't trying to be your project manager. It's the napkin that's always in your pocket β€” just faster.
