Tercet

Free for 14 days, the whole app. Then $9.99 once. No subscription, no account, nothing leaves your phone.

Most to-do apps let the list grow until it stops meaning anything. The pile becomes the reason nothing gets done.

Tercet holds exactly three tasks a day. The three that make today count. Everything else waits in your backlog — captured, safe, and quiet.

Your three live on your Lock Screen and Home Screen, so every glance at your phone is a glance at what matters. Check them off right from the widget. Finish all three, and Tercet tells you what that is: progress.

THE RULES ARE THE PRODUCT

• Today holds three tasks. Never more.
• A finished task stays finished — no swapping it out for a fresh slot.
• Finishing early doesn't unlock three more. The rest of the day is yours.
• At midnight, finished tasks retire to your record and unfinished ones return to the backlog. Tomorrow starts clean.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Lock Screen widget — your three at a glance, before you even unlock
• Home Screen widgets in three sizes, with tap-to-check-off
• Quick Add — one tap from your Lock Screen to typing a new task
• Small Things — a quiet list for the errands that aren't one of the three
• The Record — every finished day, kept forever. Proof it's working.
• Streaks — honest ones. Finish all three or the flame resets.
• A quote worth reading every time you finish, from the Stoics, builders, and finishers
• Share the win — cards sized for Stories: your streak, the quote, the day. Never your task names.
• Notes — one plain note per task for the details that don't belong in the title
• A quiet celebration when you close out the day

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking. We couldn't read your tasks if we wanted to.

PAY ONCE Tercet is free for 14 days — the whole app, nothing held back. Then it's one payment of $9.99. No subscription, no ads, and your tasks are never held hostage.

The idea is old and it works: there are only three things you have to get done every day. That's the signal. Everything else is the noise.

Three lines make a verse. Three tasks make a day. Tercet.
