THREE: Made for procrastinators by procrastinators. The Refreshingly Simple Stress Free Todo List. THREE is designed to be a minimal task assistant that is non intrusive. Traditional todo lists add stress and complexity by making YOU track, categorize, and prioritize tasks. They're digital task masters that nag and confuse you until you give up in frustration. They punish you with incessant notifications when you're overdue on a task (which you would probably ignore anyways). THREE changes the way you manage tasks. Tasks go in. THREE will present you with three and only three tasks at any given time. As you deal with them, we'll keep track and tell you how you're doing. There are only three ways to action a task - Done, Defer, or Drop. When you are done with a task, it falls off your list. If you make a mistake - don't sweat it. Next time the task you entered erroneously appears in the list , just Drop it - we won't hold it against you. If you're looking at a task that you just don't want to deal with, Defer it. This tells us that a particular task is unpleasant and it gets prioritized lower. THREE isn't designed to keep you on top of every facet of your life. No meaningless trophies or achievements. Rather, THREE will slowly but surely change the course of your life and help point you in the right direction by keeping track of the stuff that matters to you and presenting them to you in a manageable fashion.

About

Whenever

Read full description

Stop carrying your tasks in your head. Whenever helps you focus on what actually matters — not just what's due soonest. Most to-do apps drown you in deadlines. Whenever works differently: every task gets sorted by priority, not just by date, so you always know what to do first — even when nothing has a due date at all. PRIORITIES INSTEAD OF DEADLINES Sort every task into one of four priorities: urgent & important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, or neither. See at a glance what actually deserves your attention today. FOCUS ON TODAY Pull a handful of tasks into Focus and work through them one at a time — no overwhelming lists, just what you decided matters right now. HONEST TIME TRACKING Set a time estimate before you start, then see exactly how long a task really took. No guessing, no self-deception — just an honest record of your own pace. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Attach links, addresses, images, and usernames directly to any task. Add notes with Markdown formatting. Everything you need to get something done lives right where the task is. MULTIPLE BOARDS Separate work, home, and personal projects into their own boards. Switch between them in a tap. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS All your tasks and notes are stored locally on your device. No account required, no ads, no tracking. Available in English, Russian, Romanian, and French. Whenever offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions for extended features. Subscription pricing and terms are shown before purchase.
