OnlyListTo-do list app
A calm to-do list for normal, slightly messy life.
Type a task the way you'd say it. OnlyList picks up the date, time and priority, puts it on Today, and keeps everything else out of your way.
Quick capture
Type it like you'd say it.
“Call the garage tomorrow 9am !1” becomes a task for tomorrow at 9, with top priority. No forms, no date pickers.
- Press Ctrl K to add a task from anywhere in the app.
- Enter saves. Shift and Enter starts a new line.
- Add subtasks, notes and tags later, when the task turns out to be bigger than a sentence.
Today
Miss a day. Come back to a calm list.
Unfinished tasks wait in one quiet From earlier section. Move them all to today with one tap, or turn on rollover and they come along on their own.
- This evening keeps after-work tasks apart from the workday.
- A progress ring shows how much of today is done and how much time is planned.
- Tick things off and they move to the Logbook, grouped by day.
Upcoming
See what's coming, one day at a time.
Upcoming lists the next tasks under each day, so tomorrow never sneaks up on you.
- Give a task a do date and, if it matters, a separate deadline.
- Snooze a task to later today, tomorrow or next week.
- Repeat every 2 weeks, yearly, from the day you finish, or until an end date.
