What is TONT?

TONT is an iPhone to-do app for students who want less planning overhead.

It is designed for students who already know what they should do but lose time getting back into tasks. Compared with heavier productivity tools, TONT keeps the day smaller: clear task buckets, Apple Reminders sync, quick status changes, and a visible way to return to the next action.

Start tasks faster

Gesture-driven starts and simple lists remove startup friction when study time is limited.

Improve finish rate

Live Activity keeps your current task visible, so you return to execution faster after interruptions.

Forget fewer tasks

Apple Reminders sync plus action-ready notifications reduce dropped assignments and missed follow-ups.

See the student workflow in action

Every screen is optimized to help you move from planning to execution in seconds.
