To Do List - Todo Reminders

What it does

This is a comprehensive productivity app designed to help users organize their lives. At its core, it's a task manager for creating to-do lists, setting reminders, and managing schedules. It expands on this with features for building recurring habits, creating detailed checklists with sub-tasks, and tracking progress over time. The app aims to be an all-in-one solution for personal and professional organization.

Where it shines

The app excels in its flexibility and depth of features. Creating a task is simple, but the customization options are powerful. At 00:56, the user sets multiple, staggered reminders for a single task (e.g., 5, 15, and 30 minutes before), offering a level of granularity many other apps lack. Another highlight is the integrated focus timer, accessible with a simple swipe on any task (04:06), which cleverly links the planning of work to its execution. The app also provides smart suggestions (02:08) and habit templates (02:31), reducing the friction of getting started.

UX highlights

Guided Tooltips: Upon first entering the main interface, animated tooltips appear to explain key interactions like swiping for more options (02:49) and clicking to complete a task (02:53).
Satisfying Completion: Completing a task triggers a delightful micro-interaction with a burst of confetti (03:36), providing positive reinforcement for getting things done.
Swipe-based Actions: The app makes heavy use of intuitive swipe gestures to reveal common actions like starring, editing, setting a timer, or deleting a task, keeping the main list clean.
Comprehensive Reminders: The reminder system is robust, allowing for multiple alerts, custom sounds, and an 'Enhanced Reminder' toggle (01:14) for critical tasks.
Visual Task Symbols: Users can add flags, progress pies, or mood emojis to tasks (04:37), adding a quick visual layer of information for at-a-glance management.
Calendar View: A dedicated calendar view (06:50) shows tasks visually across the month, offering a different perspective on the user's schedule.

Monetization & growth

The app presents its monetization strategy early and clearly. A paywall appears within the first 10 seconds of onboarding (00:10), offering a free trial for the annual plan. The paywall uses several effective tactics: a compelling 'Before/After' visual, social proof ("35M+ Global Users"), and a price breakdown per week. It offers three tiers: Annual, Monthly, and a one-time Permanent purchase. Premium features are clearly marked with a crown icon throughout the app, consistently reminding free users of the benefits of upgrading.

Who it’s for

This app is for individuals who want a powerful and highly customizable tool to manage all aspects of their life. It appeals to both casual users who need simple to-do lists and power users who want detailed control over reminders, recurring tasks, and habits. Its blend of task management, habit tracking, and focus tools makes it suitable for students, professionals, and anyone looking to build a more organized and productive routine.

Notes & opportunities

The app is feature-rich, but this can also be overwhelming. The initial task creation screen, while powerful, presents many options at once. For example, the user has to scroll to see all the reminder settings. A more progressive disclosure approach could simplify this. Additionally, the distinction between a regular task, a habit, and a suggested task could be made clearer for new users. The initial onboarding is very brief, which might leave some users to discover the app's full depth on their own, potentially missing key features.
