Faster: Must Do Today

Must Do Software Inc.

About this app

FASTER is a no-nonsense productivity app that forces you to stop over-planning and start doing.

Most to-do apps let you add unlimited tasks and feel productive without actually being productive. FASTER works differently. Every day starts with a simple question: what must you get done today? Not what you'd like to do — what must happen.

You name up to 5 tasks to start your day, estimate how long each one will take, and FASTER shows you your total time commitment upfront. If your plan is unrealistic, you'll know before you start — not at 9pm when you've run out of day.

HOW IT WORKS


1. NAME YOUR TASKS — Start with your single most important task. Add up to 4 more. Be honest about what must get done.

2. ESTIMATE YOUR TIME — Enter how many minutes each task will take. FASTER calculates your total daily workload and warns you if you're overcommitting.

3. FOCUS — Tap Focus on any task to start a countdown timer. The screen stays on. The clock counts down. You work.

4. COMPLETE — When you're done, mark the task complete. FASTER records your estimated vs actual time so you learn from every session.

5. CAPTURE THE REST — Tasks that don't make today's cut go into Future Tasks, organised by category: Work, Home, Personal, and Other. Pull them into your day whenever you're ready.

What’s new

NEW: Categorize Future Tasks on creation. Adding a Future Task? You can now tap a colored chip — Work, Home, Personal, or Other — right in the Add Task pop-up to assign a category.

NEW: Force Run mode. Tap the new Force Run button on the Focus screen, and the timer keeps counting even if you switch between apps, until you finish or it hits zero, capturing the full time you spent.

FIXED: Buttons no longer get cut off at larger text sizes If you use iOS's larger font sizes for readability.
