Overview

What is Real Todo?

Real Todo is a minimal todo app for iPhone and iPad: one focused list, active vs completed modes, a bottom command bar, and fast capture from text, voice, or photo (OCR). It deliberately skips heavy project hierarchies so capture and review stay quick.

Who it is for

People burned out on multi-project task managers
Users who want voice or photo capture without a separate note app
Anyone who prefers local SwiftData storage and no account requirement

How to use it day to day

Capture with + using type, voice, or photo text extraction.
Keep the main list on active tasks; switch to completed when reviewing history.
Search only the current page so active and completed stay scannable.
Attach images or Markdown-friendly notes when a task needs context.
Unlock Pro once if you hit the free todo count limit.

Design note

On newer iOS versions the command bar can adopt Liquid Glass; earlier supported versions fall back to native materials. The product goal stays the same: one calm list.

FAQ

What makes Real Todo different from a full task manager?

Real Todo keeps the main experience intentionally small: one list, active or completed mode, bottom search, and a dedicated plus button. It avoids projects, tabs, and heavy planning layers so capture and review stay fast.

Can I add todos without typing?

Yes. The create sheet supports text, voice, and photo input. Voice can turn speech into a task, and photo input can extract text from an image before you save or edit it.

Does search look through all todos at once?

Search filters the page you are currently viewing. When you are on active tasks it searches active todos; when you switch to completed tasks it searches completed todos.

Where is my todo data stored?

Real Todo is designed as a local-first app. Todos and attachments are stored on the device, and the app does not require an account for the core workflow.

What does Pro unlock?

The free version is designed for everyday use with a todo count limit. Real Todo Pro is a one-time App Store purchase that removes the limit so you can keep creating tasks over time.

Does it support the latest iOS visual style?

Real Todo targets iOS 17 and later. On iOS 26, the command bar and controls adopt Liquid Glass; on earlier supported versions, the app falls back to native material styling.
