NOWDO
Read full descriptionHide full description
When tasks pile up, the important ones get buried. The longer the list, the harder it is to choose. Every new task asks "Is this urgent? Is it important?"βand once you're done writing things down, you scan the list again and again, afraid you missed something. NOWDO does the choosing for you. And it checks one more thing: whether you have the time to do it. β No more sorting by hand You don't decide which quadrant a task belongs in. Just set the day you want it done and how important it isβNOWDO places it in the Eisenhower matrix. As the target date gets close, the task moves up to Urgent on its own. You decide how many days ahead "urgent" starts, task by task. β Overdue tasks don't quietly disappear A task past its target date shows a red "2 days overdue" tag and comes back to Today. At the top of the Week view, everything you haven't finished and has slipped past its day is gathered in one place. Nothing sinks to the bottom of the list and gets forgotten. β Know if you have the time NOWDO subtracts the meetings on your iPhone calendar and counts the time left within your work hours. Right as you add a task, it tells you something like "3 tasks, 1 h 45 min already booked by thenβ3 h 14 min available." Finding out you're overbooked after you've saved is too late. β Your day, laid out in time Meetings and tasks share one timeline. Press and drag to move a start time. Turn off a meeting you'll skip, and that time comes back. β What's next, on your Lock Screen A Live Activity shows tasks and meetings in the next two hours. Look ahead anywhere from one to eight hours in Settings. Quiet like a glance, not loud like an alert. β Look back on what you did Turn finished tasks into a report by day, week, or month. Pick a tag to see "How many hours did I spend on work this month?" Completed tasks, total time, days worked, daily average, busiest day, and share by tagβlaid out in tables. Export to Markdown or CSV, or send it straight to a Notion page. β Ask Siri "What should I do now in NOWDO", "Today's tasks in NOWDO", "Can I get it all done in NOWDO" β Keep your tasks in Notion Store your tasks in a Notion database. Edit in the app or in NotionβNOWDO keeps both in sync. Create a ready-made database right from the app, with column names in your language. Not using Notion?

Write it down, tap Urgent or Important, and it lands in the right square. No account, no ads, no setup β one matrix and three widgets. Urgent or Important is an Eisenhower matrix: every to-do is sorted by two questions, is it urgent, is it important. You never pick a square yourself. Flip the Important and Urgent switches and the task drops into the square where it belongs. No tab bar, no calendar, no timer: open the app and the four squares are right there. β Urgent work is the first thing you see β the top-left "Do now" square catches your eye first with its red dot β Two switches put it in its place β Important and Urgent decide the square, and when something stops being urgent, one switch moves it next door β Start typing the moment it opens β no walkthrough, no sample tasks, just an empty matrix β Write weekly chores once β repeat daily, on weekdays or on one weekday, and finishing one creates the next β Never miss a due date β one reminder at the time you choose for everything due today β See it without opening the app β the medium Home Screen widget shows all four squares; the small and Lock Screen widgets show the "Do now" square Free - The matrix, unlimited tasks, both switches and drag between squares - Repeats (daily, weekdays, one weekday) and due-date reminders - Medium Home Screen widget (four squares), small and Lock Screen widgets ("Do now" square) - Undo right after deleting or completing a task - CSV export, dark mode, 5 languages - The same matrix on every iPhone signed in to your Apple Account, through iCloud (no login) Premium (monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime unlock) - Several matrices β keep work, home and study apart - Tasks move to urgent on their own as the due date nears, and you see how often you put one off - Done archive β finished tasks stay for 90 days and can be brought back - Restore deleted tasks from Trash for 30 days - 4 app icons Β· 4 color themes About subscriptions: Premium is available as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
