DoNext - Next Action ToDo List2026.7 - App Store

Know what to do next. One clear action, zero maintenance, pure focus.

Most to-do list apps and task managers become a second job: sorting, scheduling, and watching overdue tasks pile up in red. DoNext takes the opposite approach. You capture small, doable next steps, and the app keeps your lists fresh on its own.

SHUFFLE BEATS SORTING (ONLY IN DONEXT)

. A sorted list teaches your eyes to skip the bottom. DoNext reshuffles every list when you open it, so every task gets seen
. Nothing rots at the end of the list, and there is nothing left to re-sort. Ever
. It works like a built in review with zero effort: if a task keeps getting skipped, it is too big. Shrink it or delete it

ALWAYS KNOW WHERE TO START

. Small steps instead of vague goals: "search flights to Paris" gets done, "plan vacation" gets postponed
. Only what is relevant now: open the list for your current context (Home, Office, Errands) and see nothing else
. No project list needed. One small next step per project is enough to keep it moving

NO GUILT, NO MAINTENANCE

. No due date nagging, no red overdue badges. Just what you can do next
. Completed tasks clear themselves overnight. No archiving, no tidying
. Batch edit: select several tasks to complete, move or share at once, or fix the wording across all of them with find and replace, prefixes and suffixes
. Merge lists: combine several lists into a new one, or send them back to the Inbox in a single step. Reorganize without losing anything

FRICTIONLESS CAPTURE

. The add field is always on screen. Type, tap plus, done
. Duplicate detection: DoNext searches your lists while you type and shows similar tasks before you add a second copy
. Inbox for raw thoughts. Turn them into real next actions later, back at your list
. Paste any list from Notes or email and every line becomes its own task
. Capture from anywhere with Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight. Say "Mind sweep with DoNext" and it lands in your Inbox

FAST WHEN IT COUNTS

. One tap completion
. Jump to any list by typing its initials ("o" for "Online") or pressing tab
. Full keyboard shortcuts and a sidebar on iPad
. Long press to edit, delete or open links in a task

Fabian 2026.5 Aug 3 • Add tasks with Siri and Shortcuts. Add a task to any list, complete or duplicate a task, move something to your inbox, and jump straight into a list, all hands-free with your voice or in the Shortcuts app.
• Find your tasks in Spotlight. Search your tasks and lists right from your iPhone's home screen and tap to open them instantly.
• Powerful multi-select. Select several tasks at once to complete, move, delete, or share them together, instead of one at a time.
• Bulk-edit task text. Add a prefix or suffix to many tasks at once, or find-and-replace text across your selection, great for cleaning up or re-labeling in seconds.
• Merge and split lists. Combine lists together, or peel a group of selected tasks off into a brand-new list.
• Paste to create many tasks at once. Paste multiple lines of text and each line becomes its own task automatically.
• Share lists with a tap. Copy a shareable link to any list and send it along; opening the link jumps right to that list.
• Made for iPad. A new sidebar for quick navigation, full keyboard shortcut support, and the ability to open multiple windows side by side for true multitasking.
• A warmer welcome. A redesigned onboarding flow helps new users get set up and discover what the app can do from the very first launch.
• Smoother, more satisfying. Refined animations for completing tasks and lists, plus polish throughout.
• Widgets allow you to see your lists on the iOS home screen and lock screen.
