Swipe Todo

A todo app that hands you one thing a day instead of a longer list

Problem

Todo apps make adding tasks effortless, so users accumulate 40+ items with priorities, labels and deadlines; the system looks perfectly organized but they still don't know what to work on, and managing it becomes its own job. They don't need to remember tasks better — they need to finish the next one.

Solution

A pool collects every task, and each day the app surfaces one item based on rules (deadline proximity, energy mode, last task type) with swipe-to-skip. Skipped tasks return to the pool and get re-ranked, with no endless list view; a weekly one-page review compares planned vs actually done.

Users

Knowledge workers overwhelmed by long lists, ADHD users, freelancers

MVP

Fast task capture pool; daily single-task card with swipe gestures; skip reasons and re-ranking rules; weekly completion review page

Revenue

Free on one device; subscription for cross-device sync, energy modes and custom ranking rules at $3–5/month

Why now

AI makes generating tasks cheaper than ever, worsening list bloat, so a deliberately subtractive todo app stands out; a solo dev can ship an MVP in weeks
