Minimal Todo Widget

A dead-simple todo app with home-screen widgets and per-list reset for less technical family members

Problem

A user looking for a todo app for their technophobic mother found she disliked Microsoft To Do's 'My Day' resetting at midnight, and wanted a home-screen widget that always shows part of the list; multiple lists are a plus but not required. Mainstream apps are either too complex or have reset logic that doesn't fit.

Solution

A minimal todo app for non-technical users: lists don't auto-reset by default, and users can choose 'daily reset' or 'keep forever' per list. It offers a home-screen widget showing only the selected list, and strips away every bit of learning curve.

Users

People finding simple tools for older family members, individuals who want a always-visible desktop list, anyone overwhelmed by mainstream todo apps

MVP

Create multiple lists with independent daily-reset toggle; home-screen widget showing the chosen list; large fonts and single-screen flow; simple completion notification to family; local-first storage

Revenue

One-time purchase (e.g., $4.99) or cosmetic widget themes as in-app purchase

Why now

Mainstream todo apps keep adding features and leave non-technical users behind; mobile widget APIs are mature, so a usable version can be built in a weekend
