Stop writing todos you'll forget the moment you close the app. DOYT pins your current task to Dynamic Island & Lock Screen—visible while you text, scroll, or watch videos. Touch and hold to complete a task or move it to Later without opening DOYT. Features an optional focus timer (30 min–8 h), a history calendar, Siri & Shortcuts. Core features are free forever; Pro is a one-time purchase with a 3-day trial (no card needed). No sign-up, no ads.
Hey PH! 👋 I'm an indie maker, and I built DOYT because I have a terrible memory.
I used to write down todos in an app, close it, and instantly forget they existed. I realized the problem was never the app itself — it's that your tasks disappear the moment you close it. And unlocking your phone, finding the app, opening it, and checking a box every single time is just too much friction.
DOYT flips that around: instead of you going to your to-do app, your current task stays with you.
✨ How DOYT works: - Always in sight: Your active task stays pinned to your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen — visible while you text, scroll, watch videos, or even while you're on a call or listening to music. - Act without opening the app: Just touch and hold Dynamic Island (or use the buttons on your Lock Screen). Hit Complete and your next task appears immediately, or tap Later to push it down the queue and work on the next one. - A timer that respects your pace: Choose 30m, 90m, 3h, or 8h of focus time, or no timer at all. When time's up, the session wraps up (with a notification or alarm, if you want one) — your list stays exactly as you left it. - Start in seconds & track your wins: Kick off a session with a tap or your voice via Control Center (iOS 18+), Siri, or Shortcuts. Look back on completed tasks in the history calendar, search past records, or easily undo mistakes.
💡 Simple, honest pricing & 100% private: - Core features are free forever: Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, Complete/Later actions, history calendar, search, Shortcuts, and timers have no time or usage limits. - No-strings 3-day Pro trial: Custom layouts, colors, photo color extraction, and shareable presets unlock automatically for your first 3 days. No credit card required, zero auto-charge. (Even after reverting to default, your saved presets are kept safe!) - One-time purchase: Keep DOYT Pro forever with a single purchase. No subscriptions. No ads. 🎁 Launch week: Pro is at its launch price until Oct 23 — it goes up after that. - No account required: No sign-up or login. Your tasks and history stay on your iPhone and are never sent to a server.
(Quick technical note: iPhones without Dynamic Island still get the full Live Activity experience on the Lock Screen! Also, under iOS policy, Live Activities may clear after 8 hours of zero interaction — your list is untouched, and simply reopening DOYT brings the session right back.)
I'd love to hear your honest feedback, especially if you're as forgetful with to-do lists as I am! What would make DOYT your daily driver? 🙏 I'll be around all day to answer questions!
recurring tasks auto reappearing on the island instead of me retyping them every morning would get me hooked

Who hunted DOYT?
DOYT was hunted by Roa Lee. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
