See what you need to do today before unlocking your phone. MOMOTODO organizes Apple Reminders into two cards, letting you choose to display them on your lock screen as wallpaper or Live Activities. When starting a task, select a scene to start the timer; after finishing, review completed tasks and the actual time spent. Two cards, arranged according to your needs The first card can display today's important tasks, today's schedule, future plans, recently completed items, or a specified reminders list. The second card can display a summary module, today's schedule, recently completed items, or a specified reminders list. Today's important tasks gather overdue items, items due today, and high-priority todos without a date; recently completed shows items completed that day along with their completion time. Today's schedule displays ongoing and upcoming events from the system calendar, preserving calendar colors, titles, and time ranges, presented in a read-only format. Tap the home screen cards to manage sources, order, and display count. Pro supports displaying MOMOTODO subtasks within cards and linking completion of parent tasks and subtasks. Wallpaper Mode: Integrate Tasks into Your Lock Screen Select a background, style, and layout, then preview and generate a lock screen wallpaper. The free version displays 1–3 tasks per wallpaper card; Pro expands this to up to 20 tasks and saves the display count separately for different sources. The free version offers preset wallpapers and a default stroke template. Pro unlocks custom wallpapers, random custom wallpapers, dark mode, glass, frosted glass, desktop sticky note templates, and more layout settings. The frosted glass style extracts the card color from the background, creating a harmonious look between the cards and the wallpaper. Pro allows saving up to 8 themes, which can be switched by swiping horizontally. Each theme independently saves its background, style, and card configuration. Deleting a theme does not delete the actual reminders. Pro Live Activities: Complete Tasks Directly on the Lock Screen Two cards are displayed as separate Live Activities, which can be individually enabled or disabled. Reminders are arranged into up to three rows of capsules based on available space, with any overflow shown as a count of remaining tasks. Tap a task capsule to mark it as complete. Overdue or high-priority tasks are highlighted in pink. Today's schedule displays one event per line, up to three items; recently completed and summary content remain read-only. On iPhones supporting Dynamic Island, view today's key tasks and directly complete to-dos after expanding. The two cards on the home screen can be scrolled separately to browse full sources, unrestricted by lock screen display space. Creating Live Activities requires Pro. Existing activities can still be refreshed, tasks completed, and closed after the entitlement expires; recreating after the system ends them requires an active Pro subscription. Pro Focus: Keep Your Efforts Tracked Supports count-up, countdown timers, and editable, self-created focus scenes. Can link to Apple Reminders or allow entering a task name for the current focus session. View the scene, task, and time on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, choose to only record time or end and complete the linked reminder. Review focus with day, week, and month views: the day view shows a timeline and reminders completed that day, the month view presents daily effort with a heatmap. When you forget to time, you can retroactively log a completed focus session that lasted at least one minute, filling in the scene, task, and notes. View focus history and statistics, and export to CSV. Select a target system calendar for different scenes; when not specified, the dedicated MOMOTODO calendar is used.
