Finish what you plan.One day at a time.
Most to-do lists only get longer. todao keeps your day small. Each morning you choose a few tasks. Each night the app shows what you really did.
Work and personal life have separate spaces. A busy work day can't push out your own goals.
how it works
Three steps. Every day.
Choose.
Pick the few tasks you will really finish today. Give each one points — we call them dao. A bigger task gets more points.
Do.
Do the tasks and mark each one when it is done. You can add a task later, but you can't quietly delete one.
See the truth.
The day closes. You get the points for finished tasks. Unfinished tasks cost you some. No excuses, no guilt — tomorrow is a new day.
Finish full days, and your level goes up: the app lets you promise more. Miss too much, and it asks for less. Your day grows only as fast as you do.
for work
Your day, not everyone else's.
At work, everyone has a task for you. todao lets you plan only as much as you usually finish. Give each weekday a job — Fridays for the release, Mondays for hiring — and each morning the app asks what you will do for it.
Work has its own level. A bad work day never hurts your personal goals.
for your own life
Small steps. Real goals.
Work is loud. Your own goals are quiet, and quiet goals lose. In todao your personal life has its own space. Break a goal into small steps. Every step you finish stays on the goal's path, with its date — so you always see how far you've come.
Did something you didn't plan? Add it to the day it happened. Your history stays true.
your day
Your day has four parts.
The only productivity app that lets you sleep.
Promise08:00 – 13:00
Choose today's tasks and give them points. Until 13:00 you can still change your plan. After that, your promise stands.
Turn the wheel to see each part. Early bird or night owl? In the app you can move the whole day.
Questions and answers
What is todao?
An iPhone app that helps you finish what you plan. Each morning you choose a few tasks and give them points. Each night the app shows what you really did. It teaches you to promise less and finish more.
How is it different from a to-do app?
A to-do app collects tasks. todao keeps your day small, so you can finish it. Your day has a limit, every task has points, and you can't change your history later.
What happens if I don't finish a task?
You lose some of its points. If you miss too much in one day, your level for that part of life — work or personal — goes down one step. That's all. No shame, no lost streak. Tomorrow you start again.
Why does the app stop me in the evening?
At 21:00 the day ends. You can still mark tasks done, but you can't start new ones. Stopping is part of the discipline. If you did everything, go and rest.
What if I run out of points?
The app gives you a refill and a short lesson on how to plan a day you can finish.

todao is in private beta on iPhone. It comes to the App Store in 2027. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when it opens.
