FadeList is a calm daily to-do list for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Focus on now. Let the rest fade.

About 50 words

FadeList is a calm, minimalist to-do list for iPhone, iPad and Mac, built around a single day. Unfinished tasks don't pile up into a backlog. Each morning, yesterday fades, and you choose what's worth carrying into today. FadeList 3.0 adds Plan Ahead and Recurring Tasks without adding clutter.

FadeList is a calm, minimalist to-do list for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Most task managers reward accumulation: tasks roll over, the list grows, and people end up managing the backlog instead of doing the work. FadeList is built around a single day instead. You choose what matters today and see the next thing to do. When a new day begins, yesterday's unfinished tasks fade, and FadeList gently asks whether you'd like to carry any of them forward. Keeping is the deliberate choice. FadeList 3.0, out November 10, adds Plan Ahead, for putting tasks on a coming day, and Recurring Tasks, for the things you do every week. Both lead back to today. The app has six warm, natural themes with matching icons, a Home Screen widget and iCloud sync. It's free for up to five tasks a day, with FadeList+ for more.

About the maker

Short bio

Jarred built FadeList, a calm daily to-do list for iPhone, iPad and Mac, at Markup Creative. After years of battling focus and trying every system, planner and timer, he wanted a tool that showed only the next thing to do. He built it for himself, and uses it every day.

The longer story, in his own words: Why I built FadeList.

Quotes from Jarred

Jarred, maker of FadeList

“There might be a hundred things on my plate. I don't need to see all hundred. I need to see the next one.”

Jarred, maker of FadeList

“I tried every system, every planner, even timer cubes. They all helped me keep track. None of them helped me focus.”

Jarred, maker of FadeList

“In 3.0 I added Plan Ahead and Recurring Tasks, but only in ways that keep FadeList as simple as it started.”
