Productivity systems fail. Todorant doesn't. A carefully crafted set of limitations and praise teaches the primitive part of the brain to crave productivity like we crave sugar. While other apps focus on storing, organizing and automating endless lists of to-dos, Todorant focuses on what matters: completing tasks.

Hello everyone! Nikita's here, the creator of Todorant. I've developed Todorant solo — server, web, iOS and Android apps — using the most advanced tech stack. Even though my products are used by over 20 000 000 people (see the stats at https://borodutch.com), this is my first solo project on such a technical scale! I'm eager for the feedback on both the app *and* the productivity methodology I developed. Feel free to drop a comment! To give you a little bit of the context: in early 2019 I started to research and experiment with a variety of productivity methodologies, I've read over 20 books (like GTD, Eat That Frog and Willpower), tried every single advice one by one and carefully tracked whether they objectively improved, harmed or didn't have any effect on my productivity. Afterwards, I filtered the list to get the 20% of rules that should give 80% of improvements and wrote a blog post on it (https://bit.ly/3kXxTA8), which I then shared with my close friends. After we all tried the advice given and modified it a bit, I developed the very first version of Todorant in ~36 hours for personal use (here's the timelapse in ~12 minutes: https://bit.ly/314TjUe). People who previously tried the rules began to demand access to this system so I opened it to the world. Since then, a bit more than 6000 users created over 100 000 tasks on Todorant! I'm incredibly proud of what I was able to achieve alone and without any development or marketing budget at all and I thought that sharing Todorant with the Product Hunt community can be a logical next step. Please, check out Todorant on iOS (https://apple.co/325IXm3), Android (https://bit.ly/2YdiTV9) or web (https://todorant.com). Todorant also has a Telegram bot (https://t.me/todorant_bot) and Mozilla Add-on (https://mzl.la/2DVTYyF)! P.S., if you are an Apple user, please, *create an account on the web first* to get the free 30-day trial without the annoying Apple in-app purchases paywall that automatically converts free trial into a paid subscription. Apple did not allow me to offer my own trial without a paywall threatening to remove my apps from the App Store. Thank you a lot! Cheers!

And Chrome just approved our Chrome Extension! https://bit.ly/34bGmda

Probably many people will find it difficult to evaluate this application or Nikita himself as a developer at first sight. I'm sure that Product Hunt is just another product for guests, which can affect your decision, for example, not even use the 30-day version. However, I want to assure you: Nikita is definitely not an ordinary person. You can easily check his attitude to his community and IT community, his free products that are only useful (they are really free and their contribution is difficult to evaluate), his openness to anyone who turns to him, his hundreds of tips and expertise, with which he shares his selflessly. Try to address him with your question/issue to solve a problem, you will be surprised. Why? Because nowadays they take money for that. I'm not talking about the fact that this man seems to be able to do everything at all. I sometimes think he's made a bet with Ilon Mask on efficiency and time management. It's just inspiring. Why am I writing this for? So you can understand Nikita first. You understand Nikita, you understand the coolness of Todorant. Excuse my English. I hate myself for this =(

@iamsmith woah! Thank you a lot for such an amazing comment! ❤️

@iamsmith I'm always happy to see people who lift / affirm others up with their sincerity in word and deed. Thank you for your kindness! You must be amazing yourself.

I'm a sucker for a progress bar! When breaking down a task into subtasks, I think I want to maintain the relationship (e.g., show subtasks as indented) and only mark the task completed when the main task is done.

@johnfaig Thank you for the comments! If you like progress bars, explore the (for now) undocumented feature of "epics" in the list of hashtags :) Can you give me an example of a tasks that you want to keep after you break it down, please?

@nikitakolmogorov Your sample in the video at 1:36. When you break a task into subtasks, you need to keep them tethered so the relationship remains in tact. I'd rather not have them floating around the lit unless you color code them. I'll have more thoughts after I pay around more. I did a 30+ task manager eval looking for one that is suitable for schools and came up empty.

@johnfaig Oh, you can "thread" tasks by adding #hashtags :) There will never be a classical subtasks system in Todorant. In the end, it overcomplicates the process and hurts productivity. Try leaving without having to think about the common larger task when doing subtasks — you'll see what I mean when you start feeling better and more productive. This is the same reasoning as behind not having the concept of projects and repeating tasks. One can be surprised by how many things are quite unnecessary for improving productivity :)

I think we all need simple, yet powerful todolist. This is what todorant is. No bullshit, add a task - do it, re-schedule. Re-scheduling too often? Bro, this is a frog, time to eat a frog
