Flash Log – Estimate & Track

A quiet to-do app that shows just today. Write, start, check off — that's all. Estimates, recurring, and focus wait until you want them. Free, no ads, no account.

Flash Log is an app for handling your to-dos simply, so you can move the one in front of you forward.

Today's screen shows only today. Write it down, start it, check it off — that's all there is to learn. Finished to-dos tuck themselves away, so the screen always stays quiet.

■ Simple to start

• Write down today's to-dos and check them off. That alone is a complete way to use the app.
• Completed items hide automatically, so you always see only what's ahead.
• Next morning, you choose which of yesterday's leftovers to carry over. Nothing piles up on its own.

■ Focus on doing

• Start a to-do and it opens in a full-screen focus view — just you and the one thing.
• "Just these today" — pick the few things that really matter today and show only those.
• While it's running, it also shows on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, and on Apple Watch, where you can pause or complete it.
• The time you spend is recorded automatically. Your effort leaves a trace. When you finish, you can leave a star rating and a short note as a reflection (optional, of course).

■ Think in time (only if you want to)

• Give a to-do a time estimate and the day shows its total — you'll know "today is full" before it happens.
• Estimates (gray) and actuals (blue) sit side by side, so you gradually learn what your "30 minutes" really is.
• Estimates are always optional. Everything works beautifully without them.

■ Your style, your method

• Capture ideas into the Inbox, then drag them onto a day when you decide. (For GTD fans)
• Drag to-dos onto a timeline in calendar view. (For timeboxing fans)
• Comparing estimates with actuals will feel familiar to TaskChute practitioners.
• Use any method fully, partially — or none at all. A plain to-do list is a perfectly good way to use Flash Log.

■ Recurring to-dos that don't pile up

• Daily and weekly to-dos appear each day as a dimmed "tentative" preview.
• Tap the ones you'll actually do — only those become real. Skipped days never stack up.

■ An everyday tool

• Add to-dos by voice. Works with Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight search.
• Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities, and an Apple Watch app.
• Reminders for start and expected end times, search across every day, and your calendar events overlaid on the timeline.
• Runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with optional iCloud sync — you decide.

■ Easy to trust

• Free. No ads. No account.
• Your data stays on your device; sync only uses your own iCloud, only if you turn it on.
• Add-by-voice speech recognition runs entirely on your device; your voice never leaves it.
• Export your data as plain text anytime. No lock-in.

Not for managing your to-dos — for finishing them. Flash Log tries to be a tool that never gets in the way of your pace.
