Bright Todo is a task management app designed with careful attention to the features that matter and a clean, easy-to-use UI/UX. ■ Up to 1,000 tasks (Pro) The free version supports up to 30 tasks and 3 labels — upgrade to Pro for up to 1,000 tasks and 100 labels. ■ Freely reorder tasks and labels Drag and drop to freely reorder both tasks and labels, in whatever order works best for you. Accidentally marked a task complete? Drag it back to restore it instantly. ■ Personalize your design Bright Todo supports both Light and Dark modes. With Pro, choose your favorite theme color from 18 colors. Assign each label one of 10 colors — like "Work," "Shopping," or "Personal" — for instant visual organization. There are no ads, ever. ■ Choose your display size Choose from three display sizes: S, M, and L. Make text and buttons larger for easier reading, or go compact to see more tasks at once. Perfect as a daily planner, habit tracker, or simple checklist — with routine reminders for tasks that repeat. ■ Home screen widgets Available in three sizes: S, M, and L. Check and complete tasks right from your home screen without opening the app. With Pro, the widget color automatically matches your theme color. ■ Calendar View tasks with due dates on a calendar, so nothing slips through the cracks. You can add and edit tasks directly from the calendar. Automatically displays 16 Japanese public holidays and 11 U.S. federal holidays, including Japan's substitute holidays and holidays that fall between other holidays. Japan's Vernal and Autumnal Equinox Days are calculated astronomically, not fixed to a date. Holiday calculations run entirely on your device, so they show up even when you're offline. ■ Notifications and reminders (Pro) Set timed tasks anywhere from 1 minute before to any minute you choose — for both the start and end of a task. All-day tasks are announced with a notification at 9:00 AM. Daily and weekly recurring reminders are supported, including a time window like 8:00–10:00 with alerts at its start and end, and notifications stay visible until you dismiss them. ■ Voice input Add tasks by speaking into the microphone — quick and hands-free. ■ Attach URL links Add a URL and comment to any task, for instant access to related pages. ■ Data backup Export and import your task data, so you're covered even when switching devices. ■ Cloud sync Sign in with Apple for free cloud sync across your devices. Signing in with Google also syncs tasks and labels, but requires Pro. ■ Japanese and English Switch the display language with a single tap. ■ No login required and offline support Use Bright Todo without creating an account. Your data stays on your device, and task management and holiday calculations work fully offline. You only need to sign in if you want cloud sync. ■ Pro is a one-time purchase The free version includes up to 30 tasks, 3 labels, and 1 theme color. Cloud sync is included free when you sign in with Apple. Upgrade to Pro to unlock up to 1,000 tasks, up to 100 labels, 18 theme colors, widget color matching, notifications and reminders, recurring reminders, and cloud sync with Google. Voice input and data backup are included free. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription — no recurring fees.

Ordinalは、決めることを減らすためのアプリです。 やることを並べるのではなく、順番を確定させます。開いたときに見えるのは次の1つで、何から手をつけるかを毎回選び直す必要がありません。 部屋で分ける プロジェクトごとに部屋を作ります。部屋の中にいる間、ほかの部屋のタスクは見えません。壁の向こうを気にせず、目の前の並びだけを見られます。 順番が決まっている タスクには01、02、03と番号が振られます。長押しして動かすと、指を離した瞬間に上から順に振り直されます。同率も、迷う余地もありません。 Today 各部屋の先頭から3件だけが集まります。手で入れる箱ではなく、部屋の順番とタスクの順番から決まります。並べ替えれば、ここに出るものが変わります。 Focus 1つのタスクだけを表示します。ナビゲーションは消え、経過時間だけが画面の上端に細く出ます。終えたら画面を出ずに、同じ部屋の次の1件が立ち上がります。 地層 完了したものは、日ごとの層になって積もります。多く片付いた日は厚く、静かな日は薄く。数を競うためではなく、経てきたものを見るためにあります。 カレンダー iPhoneのカレンダーにある予定を、タスクの期日と並べて表示します。読み取るだけで、予定を作ったり変えたりすることはありません。表示するカレンダーは選べます。 ウィジェットとApple Watch ロック画面に、今やる1件。ホーム画面に、今日の3件と部屋ごとの残り。Apple Watchにも同じ1件が届きます。 要求してきません 通知は初期状態ですべてオフです。バッジも、連続日数も、達成率もありません。開いたときにだけ働きます。 広告はありません。トラッキングもしません。アプリ自身がネットワーク通信を行わないので、あなたのタスクが端末の外に出ることはありません。 無料です すべての機能が無料で、支援した人としない人でアプリの動作に差はありません。続けるための支援を受け取る場所を用意してありますが、それだけです。
