palilili vs SMSReader

a task list should not become another task. most to-do lists keep everything forever. unfinished tasks pile up, yesterday follows you into today, and the list becomes another source of noise. palilili works differently. it keeps your active list small: what is done, what matters now, and what can wait until later. done, now & later swipe between three simple spaces as your priorities change: - done holds what you have completed. - now is for what matters today. - later is for what can wait. tomorrow starts clean unfinished tasks in now are deleted when the next day begins. tasks placed in later wait quietly and return to now tomorrow. quiet by design - works offline - no account or advertising - no analytics or tracking - no developer-operated cloud - local reminders and daily repeats - available on your phone and watch - optional phone and watch sync - manual ordering for what matters now no feeds. no streaks. no productivity scores. no pressure to keep an endless archive. just you and the things you choose to do. palilili means pali lili in toki pona: small, quiet things to do.
