Plan tonight. Win tomorrow. Quint is the to-do app with exactly five slots a day. You fill them in the evening – and wake up to a plan instead of a list. No more to-do lists that never get shorter. No more priority matrices, projects inside projects, or the guilt that's already waiting for you in the morning. Quint gives you five slots. No more. If it doesn't fit, it wasn't that important. HOW IT WORKS 1. Evening: Name five things for tomorrow. Takes two minutes. 2. Morning: Wake up, get going. The decisions are already made. 3. Evening: Day done, streak up – and tomorrow is already waiting to be planned. WHAT QUINT DOES β€’ Five slots a day – overwhelm protection, built in. β€’ Plan for any day, not just tomorrow – an appointment on Saturday? Add it once and it shows up that very morning. β€’ Routines that stick – daily, on weekdays, or every week on your day. Quint adds them for you, and your stats show how well you keep them. β€’ Steps, not boulders – break big tasks down. Tick the last step and the task is done. β€’ Focus timer (25/5) – keeps running on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, even with the app closed. β€’ Widgets – your day on the Home Screen, what's left on the Lock Screen. β€’ Your streak – every day you clear makes the flame grow. Missed a day? A streak freeze holds it for you. Share it as a picture when you're proud of it. β€’ No backlog graveyard – unfinished tasks come along for a week, then quietly disappear. No digital clutter, no guilt. β€’ Reminds you only when it matters – in the evening, Quint only speaks up if tomorrow still has gaps. β€’ Stats that answer back – tap any day to see what got done, what moved and what you focused on. β€’ Your own colour categories – sort your day by your own rules. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No server. Quint makes no network requests – your tasks live on your iPhone and nowhere else. YOUR APP, YOUR STYLE Four accent colours, and the app icon follows. In English, German, French and Spanish. Five tasks. One plan. A little better every day. Get Quint and plan your morning tonight.
