Simple by default

A simple task manager, not another dashboard.

Most task apps grew into project-management suites. todo.bytesvibe keeps the surface simple — one clean list, one command palette — while quietly having the power waiting when you need it.

No credit card · Free forever plan

  • Type. Enter. Done. That's the whole capture flow.
  • One clean list — no fields to fill out
  • Keyboard shortcuts for everything
  • Zero-setup: sign in and you're using it
  • Everything is one keystroke away
  • No AI popups, no upsell modals
Everything you need

Simple on the outside. Sharp on the inside.

Every feature has to earn its place. What's here is what you actually use.

One-keystroke capture

Press `n` anywhere. Type the task. Hit enter. It's in your inbox.

Single list view

No projects to configure. Start typing tasks — organize later if you feel like it.

Focus mode

Pick your top 3 for today, hide the rest, and get back to work.

Natural-language dates

'tomorrow 9am', 'next friday', 'every monday' — just works.

Optional calendar view

Flip your list to a calendar when you need to see the week.

Quiet reminders

Off by default. On when you ask. No badge-count anxiety.

Boards on demand

One click to turn any project into a kanban board. One click back to a list.

Notes on any task

Rich-text notes attached to tasks — no second app to check.

Who it's for

Who chooses the simple option?

People who want a to-do list, not a system to maintain.

Anti-bloat power users

You'd rather learn 6 keyboard shortcuts than click through 60 settings.

Recovering Notion refugees

You just want a list back — the databases can stay in Notion.

Students & researchers

Simple daily lists that don't need a PM certification to run.

Founders

A single place for your own tasks that isn't the shared team backlog.

Consultants

One list per client, no template setup required.

Anyone who bounced off Asana

The power is there, but only when you ask for it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this simpler than Todoist or TickTick?

Fewer required fields, zero setup wizard, and no gamification popups. You land in an inbox and start typing.

Will it stay simple as I add more?

Yes. The list view is your home base — projects, boards, and docs only appear if you turn them on.

Are there really no upsell popups?

None. The free plan is genuinely free, so we have no reason to interrupt you.

Can I use it without signing up for anything else?

Yes — one email is all you need. No connected calendars, no browser extensions required.

What if I want more features later?

Turn them on per workspace. Nothing gets forced on you.

Is it fast on my old laptop?

Yes. The app is optimized for keyboard-first use, and pages typically render in under a second.
