Still buggy

I love the simplicity of the UI. It's distraction-free. However, I've already encountered an error. After spending time entering all the details, I get a "client-side error" page once I completed all the steps. So I had to go through the whole process again for my first to-do.

Also, I've added a dependency on my to-do. However, when I click on the "i" icon for more information about my to-do, I don't see the dependency to remind me that I need to finish that dependency in order to complete my to-do item. I was under the impression that the dependency I entered would also be a to-do list sub-item, if that makes any sense.

Overall, great concept and user-interface. Looking forward to seeing this product progress.

Hi there,

First of all, *thank you* for sharing with me the bug! I’d like to know more about what happened — would you mind emailing me at support@simplerlist.com so we can get that bug squashed?

Indeed, the dependency UI is not optimal at the moment. You can view dependencies if you click on the “i” icon, then on the “comment” icon. However, the less than intuitive UI is something that I’ll...

A good surprise

Hi all,
I have a creative mind. It’s helpful on my work but there is a dark side. I have many projects and multiple tasks related to them. So I regularly get overwhelmed. I have difficulties to choose what to do next and often, I work on a side project or minor tasks. In consequence, my main project takes me more time to complete.
To help me, I use Pomodoro and GTD method.
Simpler helps me a lot on the GTD (Get things done) method. The AI shows me what to do next. After a week using it, Simpler shows me his hidden power. I can achieve my project with more serenity.
This tool is at an early stage, and Martin accepts feedback from his users.
I am confident that this tool gets better in the next two months.
What I am waiting for:
—iOS App iPhones and iPads (I work a lot on it) The app will be releasing this August.
—Some statistics to know how much tasks I have achieved by categories.
I have tested MS To-do, Google Tasks, James AI (refunded because of no support for months).
Simpler is simply the best to fit my needs.
Thanks a lot Martin and five tacos for your kindness and involvement.
Thanks AppSumo to offers us this awesome deal.

Bonjour Philippe,

Thank you so much for your kind and helpful review — I so appreciate it when people find simpler helpful and useful in their life.

Indeed, simpler has just started, and will get better fast. Currently working on fixes (including Chrome Extension) and also new features, such as time-limited projects.

As you know, the iOS app will be released this month, correct. Statistics is...

Great To-do list app

I'm not a person who makes to-do lists because most software and apps that I've checked are too bulky and not very visually appealing. The google tasks app that I currently use doesn't really help me plan my day efficiently.

The simpler app solves both my issues. The interface is very visually appealing and it makes it easier for my eyes. It's the perfect amount of minimalism and I love the zen mode. Also, unlike google tasks, Simpler lets me set the time it takes to complete tasks. Instead of making a random list, I get to think a tiny bit to decide how much time it will take to complete a task. Which is SUPER SUPER helpful. For the past 2 days, I've been less stressed and less overwhelmed since I've been able to quantify the amount of time it will take for me to finish a task, so I never end up giving myself more work than I can handle.
I really like the app, and I would love to see it improve in the future.

Few features that I'd like to see:

1. a visual graph to see how much time it will take to finish all my tasks for a certain category. Like, I would like to know how much time it will take in total to finish all the to-dos assigned for work, so I can know whether I can add more to-dos or I'm full for the day.

2. Ability to add custom durations. Currently, the app has all the good intervals until 1 hour, and then it has increments hour by hour. I would like to tell that a certain task would only take 1 hour and a half, or 1 hour and 20 minutes.

3. An Android app + widget

4. Better functionality on Firefox. The app has been glitchy on firefox, the to-dos keep jumping up and down with no way to stop them. Not a major issue and I'm sure it can be fixed easily. Works mostly fine on chrome

5. Faster backend

Over and all, it's the best to-do list app for me. Simple, efficient, and stress-free ^^
