To-do list app maker

Every to-do app is someone else's idea of how you should work. With this to-do list app maker you describe your own: what the first screen shows, how tasks are grouped and when you get reminded. The AI agent writes the app, you add real tasks in the emulator preview, and you download it as an Android APK. Most people have theirs on the home screen within an hour.

What your to-do list app will have

From the idea above, the agent builds:

• Today — tasks due today, with overdue ones in red at the top, as the first screen you see.
• Quick add — one field that understands "tomorrow 6pm" or "every Monday" and sets the date for you.
• Lists — Work, Home and Errands, each with a color and a count of open tasks.
• Task details — due date, reminder, priority flag, notes and a checklist of sub-tasks.
• Gestures — swipe right to complete, swipe left to delete, with Undo for mistakes.
• Recurring tasks — daily, weekdays, weekly or monthly; the next one appears when you finish the current one.

Completed tasks slide to the bottom instead of vanishing, so you can see what you got done. Everything is stored on the phone and works offline.

Features you can ask for

• A morning digest notification with the day's tasks at a time you pick.
• A focus timer on any task: 25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of break.
• An Upcoming view with the next seven days on one screen.
• Tags like @phone or @computer and a filter for each.
• Shared lists with sign-in for a family or a small team, synced online.
• Backup to a file and restore on a new phone.
• A satisfying check animation and a light vibration when you finish a task.

Get it on your phone

1. Press Build this to-do list app and sign in with Google.
2. Add ten real tasks in the emulator preview, complete a few and set a reminder two minutes ahead to see it arrive in the Simulate panel.
3. Ask for changes in plain words: "make Today the only tab", "bigger checkboxes", "sort by priority".
4. Press Download APK and install it on your Android phone.
5. For Google Play, build the signed APK and AAB from the same menu; the APK builder page explains signing and upload.

Describe your real day, not a feature list. "I check tasks on the bus and plan the evening before" tells the agent far more than "add tags and filters".

Keep it simple enough to use daily

The best to-do list is the one you open every day, and that usually means fewer features, not more. Start with Today, quick add and reminders. Use the app for a week, then add the one thing you missed, such as sub-tasks or a focus timer, one message at a time. Keep reminders few and deliberate; a phone that buzzes ten times a day teaches you to ignore it. And make finishing a task feel good. A small animation sounds trivial, but it is part of why people keep coming back to the app you built for yourself.
