Every time you wake your phone, your things to remember pop up right on the lock screen. Meet FirstThing — a simple to-do app that helps you stop putting things off.

Most to-do apps only show your list once you open them. FirstThing flips that. The moment you wake your screen, your tasks are already there, right on the lock screen.

■ Right when you wake up
No need to unlock. No need to hunt for an app. The second your screen turns on, today's things to remember are already waiting for you.
■ Check things off without unlocking
Finished something? Mark it done straight from the lock screen. Stay in your flow, no interruptions.
■ A refreshingly simple list
Add it, check it, clear it. No clutter, no complicated features — just the things you actually need to remember.
■ You choose when it shows up
Want to see your list before you unlock, or after? It's your call. Set it up however fits your routine.
■ Make it yours
Switch between light and dark mode, and pick an accent color that matches your vibe.
■ For all those little daily promises
Drink water. Stretch. Grab groceries. Reply to that text. FirstThing brings the easy-to-forget stuff back in front of you, every single time you wake your phone.
■ 100% stored on your device
Everything you add stays right on your phone. Nothing is ever sent to a server — your to-dos are yours, and yours alone.

This app is for you if...
- You've downloaded to-do apps before but never actually open them
- You keep notifications off and end up missing important things
- You want to check today's tasks the moment you wake up or start getting ready
- You just want a dead-simple "today" list — no folders, no tags, no repeat settings
- You'd rather not have your personal to-dos sitting on someone else's server

A few ways people use it
- Right after waking up, revisit easy-to-skip routines like drinking water or stretching
- On your way to work, glance at today's tasks straight from the lock screen
- Keep that reply or errand you keep putting off right in front of you, every time you wake your phone

Permissions & privacy
FirstThing uses the "Display over other apps" permission to show your tasks on the lock screen — and that's the only thing it's used for. Every task and checkbox you create stays on your device. No sign-up, no login, no server. It just works, fully offline.
