Welcome Dense Discovery Readers
I've been writing personal productivity software for many years, and Finalist is an app I always wanted to make: a to do app for people who hate to do apps.
It's simple (think yellow sticky notes) and fast: tap anywhere to add a task. Is the task for tomorrow? Swipe left to see tomorrow's list of tasks and add it there. Did you forget to accomplish something yesterday? A single tap brings those tasks to today.
With Finalist, every day is a new list. You don’t feel overwhelmed by the things you didn’t accomplish last week. So you don't resent your To Do app, but are encouraged to come back to it and actually shape the days ahead. And the app is fully iOS/macOS native: no accounts to setup, syncs over iCloud, built on Apple technologies like Swift and SwiftUI, making it fast and light.
There's a lot more to Finalist just a tap or swipe away☘︎ but the important things are easy and fast. Once you're comfortable, you can go much deeper, with tasks synced to Calendar, markdown app links, shortcuts, auto-summing lists, and lots more. Finalist's features are user-driven, so if you have a good idea, just email me.
It's available for iOS, macOS, iPadOS and visionOS.
Thanks for stopping by! 👋
