Stay ahead of deadlines—without living in your to-do list.
Smartlist shows what to work on next by organizing tasks around deadlines, time, and context—so you stop guessing and start finishing.
⏱ Takes ~2 minutes to set up your week.
Why it works
Three ideas that change how you work.
Two types of tasks. Finally.
Classes, shifts, and study groups go in as "Do On" — fixed times. Assignments and forms go in as "Due By" — deadlines. Smartlist keeps them separate so nothing gets confused.
Priorities update themselves.
That essay due in 3 days? It'll move up the list automatically as the deadline approaches. No manual re-sorting. No forgetting. It just gets louder as it gets closer.
A short list you can actually act on.
No 47-item to-do list staring you down. Smartlist shows your "Next Up" — the 3–5 things that actually matter today. Open the app, see what to do, close the app, do it.
How it works
Set it up once. Let it run.
Add assignments as "Due By"
Got an essay due Friday? Add it as a Due By task with the deadline. That's it. Smartlist handles the urgency math from there.
Add fixed events as "Do On"
Econ lecture at 10am, shift at 3pm, study group Thursday night. These go in as Do On — they're locked to a time, not a deadline.
Open Smartlist → see "Next Up"
That's your list. The 3–5 things that need your attention right now, ranked by urgency. No decisions required.
