What am I doing today?
Always Today is a calm to-do list that answers that one question every morning. Your lists live on your device, work offline and open at once, and they sync across your phone, your computer and your terminal when you want them to.

Out now on Google Play for Android phones and Googlebooks, on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, in the Microsoft Store for Windows, and as a download for the Mac, the Linux terminal and Linux desktops.
Today
Your day
This evening
Clear. Go outside.
Quiet, quick, and yours
Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday and a Logbook; areas and projects with headings; repeats that never double up; reminders. And three things that make it different.
-
Your lists live on your device
Everything works offline and opens at once, because each device keeps its own full copy. On one device you don't need an account at all.
Sign in with just your email to sync. A change reaches your other devices when they next open, or within a few minutes while they're open, and two devices editing different parts of the same to-do both keep their changes.

It shows what it understood as you type, before you press Enter. Dates are British, day first.
-
It knows your day, nobody else does
- Optional end-to-end encryption: your devices lock every change with a passphrase only you know, so the server keeps only what it can't read
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking, by design rather than by promise
- Bring your lists from Things, Todoist or TickTick, and export everything as a file at any time
One list on every screen you have
The same lists and the same keys everywhere, so what your hands learn on one device works on the next.
Android phone
A home-screen widget, reminders, and sharing from any app. Say a few to-dos one after another and the phone writes them down, understood on the phone itself.
Googlebook
On a Googlebook it behaves like a desktop app: two panes, keyboard shortcuts, right-click menus and a window you can resize.
Windows PC
A shortcut that works anywhere, Ctrl Alt Space, opens quick entry, and the tray icon keeps it a click away.
Mac
Close the window and it waits in the menu bar, with quick entry a click away. For Macs with Apple silicon.

Linux terminal, made on Omarchy
A fast native app that starts at once and takes your terminal's colours. Keys feel like Vim. The same program adds to-dos from scripts, puts Today in your bar and opens a one-line capture prompt.
Prefer a window? The window app is the same app as on the Mac. It shares the terminal app's lists and follows your desktop's light or dark.
On Arch or Omarchy, one line installs each as a package. The terminal app:
curl -L -o always-today.pkg.tar.zst https://alwaystoday.uk/download/linux-terminal && sudo pacman -U always-today.pkg.tar.zst
The window app:
curl -L -o always-today-desktop.pkg.tar.zst https://alwaystoday.uk/download/linux-desktop && sudo pacman -U always-today-desktop.pkg.tar.zst
For iPhone and iPad, download it on the App Store.

Questions
Is Always Today free?
Yes, on one device, for ever: every list, quick entry, repeats, reminders, import and export. You pay only if you want your lists to sync between devices: £24 a year, £3 a month, or £59 once for Lifetime. Every new account gets 7 days of sync free, with no card needed.
How do I buy a plan, and who sells it?
From inside the app. On Windows, Mac and Linux it opens Stripe's secure checkout in your browser; Stripe sells the plan through its Managed Payments service, shown on your receipt as Onelink. On Android you buy through Google Play, and on iPhone and iPad through the App Store. A plan belongs to your Always Today account, so it works on every device you sign in on, wherever you bought it.
Can I get a refund?
Yes: refunds within 14 days, no questions asked, on top of your legal rights. The help page explains how, for the web, Google Play and the App Store.
Do I need an account?
No. Without one, everything stays on your device. An account, just your email address with no password, is only needed to sync.
Can the sync server read my to-dos?
Not if you turn on end-to-end encryption: your devices encrypt every change before it leaves, with a passphrase only you know. Without it, your lists are stored on the server as written, protected in transit and at rest, and never read, sold or analysed.
Can I bring my lists from Things, Todoist or TickTick?
Yes. Always Today imports their exports and shows you what it found before adding anything. You can export everything as a JSON file at any time.
Where can I get it?
Out now on Google Play for Android phones and Googlebooks, on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, in the Microsoft Store for Windows, and as a download for Macs with Apple silicon, for the Linux terminal and for Linux desktops.
