TONT running on an iPhone Lock Screen, showing a live timer for the task Reply to Sam's email

Meet TONT

A to-do app that wants you to stop looking at it.

Start a task and it follows you to the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, timer ticking. Everything else is four buckets: Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming, Someday. No account. No folders. No subscription.

Start it.

Swipe a task right. It gets a live timer on your Lock Screen, so you can put the app down.

Sort it.

Four buckets, with a due time picked for you. Work and home each get their own colour.

Prove it.

Done tasks stay until midnight, so you can gloat. History keeps every win, by day.

What’s inside

Everything in 4.0, none of the clutter.

  • Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

    Start a task and it rides along with a live timer. Up to three at once, each with its own card.

  • A timer that counts honestly

    Pause for an hour, come back, resume. Only the time you actually worked is added up.

  • Four buckets, sensible times

    Today is due in two hours, or 8 AM if it is late. Tomorrow is 9 AM. Upcoming is a week out. Someday has no date.

  • Groups with their own colour

    Keep work, home and your side hustle apart. Swipe the bottom bar to switch worlds.

  • Subtasks with a progress badge

    Long press a task to break it into steps. Finish the parent and the steps go with it.

  • Apple Reminders, both ways

    One switch in Settings. Tasks appear in a TONT list in Reminders, and what you add there comes back.

  • Reminders that help you start

    Five kinds, each with its own switch. Act from the notification: start, snooze, finish or move it.

  • A sleep schedule

    Nothing is ever due while you sleep. A task added in your last hour before bed waits until after you wake.

  • History with search

    See what you finished, when you started and how long it took. Search it by task name.

Both ways, with one switch in Settings. Your tasks appear in a TONT list in Reminders with their group name in front.

No. Set a bedtime and a wake time and tasks are never due while you sleep.

Pull the title down, hard, and let go. It will tell you whether you are todo or not todo.
