Finalist for iPhone

Finalist — Minimal daily planner for iPhone

Finalist is a tidy, no-frills iPhone app made to simplify how you organize everyday tasks. Instead of managing complex due-date flows, it focuses on placing items on specific days so you can plan one day or an entire month at a glance.

Key capabilities

• Toggle easily between a single-day view and a month overview so you can zoom in or out on your plans.
• Move unfinished items forward to the next day or pull things you missed from the previous day to today.
• Overlay your iOS calendar events next to tasks so meetings and to-dos are visible in one place.
• Keep independent lists that you can add into Today only when needed.
• Choose from different color themes to match your taste and make each day feel fresh.

Why people like it

• Custom color options help the app feel personal without adding complexity.
• The ability to maintain separate lists makes it simple to reuse or archive task groups.
• Seeing calendar appointments alongside tasks removes the need to switch apps while planning.
• Quick task shifting (tomorrow or yesterday) prevents things from being forgotten.
• The clean daily reset gives you a new, uncluttered list each morning.

Appearance and usability

Finalist borrows the visual simplicity of a paper monthly log—clean lines, clear entries, and an emphasis on legibility. The interface is built to be intuitive: add tasks directly to days, swipe or tap to move them, and switch views with a single gesture. The result is a lightweight planning experience that feels like using a small notepad rather than a feature-heavy project manager.
