DOTHING

Read full description

Managing tasks isn't doing tasks. Most to-do apps ask you to build a system first. Projects, tags, folders, priorities, filters. You spend Sunday setting it up and abandon it by Thursday. DOTHING has none of that. You add a task. It shows up on the day it's due. You tap it done. Say it or type it Hold the + button and talk. "Call Mom tomorrow at 6" becomes a task, dated, without you touching a date picker. Transcription happens on your iPhone. Block what pulls you away Choose the apps that distract you, then press and hold to block them while you work on a task. A timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island keeps you company until it's done. Do it together Share a task with anyone. Everyone sees the same steps and every change as it happens. Joining is free. Everything a task needs Subtasks to break it into steps. Notes, links, photos, files and drawings. Repeats for the things that come back. Reminders that arrive on time. Just ask Siri "Add a task in DOTHING." "What's on today in DOTHING?" "What's coming up in DOTHING?" Your tasks show up when you search your iPhone, too. Everywhere you already look Widgets on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. StandBy on your nightstand. Yours alone No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Your tasks sync through your own iCloud and go nowhere else, unless you share them. Free, with Pro when you need more DOTHING is free for up to 5 tasks at a time, each with up to 3 subtasks.
