About DoNow — What to do now
DoNow is not another to-do list. The problem with most to-do apps: you list 50 things, stare at all 50, and do none of them. The longer the list, the harder it is to start. DoNow answers one question: what do I do now? Three steps, from mess to motion: 1 / Inbox Dump anything on your mind. No categories, no priorities. Just empty your head. 2 / Workbench Pull out what you'll actually work on and lay it out in order. You face a few things, not fifty. The one on top is marked "Do this now" — the only thing you need to think about. 3 / Timeline Finished tasks sink into the timeline with a timestamp. Proof the day wasn't wasted. — Keep "what now" in front of you — • Live Activity & Dynamic Island: the current task stays on your screen, no need to open the app • Mac menu bar: always shows "DoNow: xxx" at a glance • Complete it right from the Live Activity — the next one takes its place — Also — • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Task reminders • Follows your system language: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean • Dark mode • Minimal design. No ads, no account, no subscription • Collects nothing. Your tasks live only in your own iCloud Lists are meant to be emptied, not collected. Now — do the first one.
