TodoLapse isn’t a checklist. It’s a timeline you live inside. Scrub to any moment — past or future — and your tasks are right there, exactly as they were. Or will be.


You check a box. The task disappears. You move on. By evening, your list tells you nothing about how your day actually happened — what you started, stopped, postponed, or came back to.
TodoLapse is different. Your tasks live in time. They appear when scheduled, grow as you work, and stay exactly where they happened. Not a list you manage — a timeline you live inside.
Start a task and watch its bar grow in real time. Pause — the bar stops. Resume — it picks up. Your timeline is a heartbeat monitor for your work.
This isn’t playback. It’s a time machine. Drag the scrubber to any point in your day and your entire task list rebuilds itself — showing exactly what was active, idle, or complete at that moment. Then edit it right there.
Left a timer running after you stopped working? Scrub back to when you actually finished. Mark it complete at that moment. Your timeline corrects itself.
Scrub back → tap complete → doneScrub forward to Thursday. Add a task. It won’t appear in your list until Thursday arrives. Your future is pre-loaded, your present stays clean.
Scrub forward → add task → it waitsFinished a task an hour ago but forgot to check it off? Don’t edit a form. Scrub to the moment it ended and tap complete. No timestamp fields. No date pickers.
Scrub to the moment → tap → accurate historyA task isn’t happening today. Drag it forward on the timeline to tomorrow, next week, whenever. It disappears from today and reappears when its time comes.
Drag the task → drop in the future → gone until thenOther apps make you fill in “Completed at” fields and pick dates from calendars. TodoLapse works the way video works. Drag to the moment. Act on it. That’s it.
Drag to the moment.
Tap to act. That’s it.
Hit play. Watch tasks appear at their scheduled time, bars grow as work happens, and checkmarks land when things finish. A time-lapse of your productivity.
Press Option+T from any app. A floating overlay appears. Type, pick a project, set a date. Two seconds. Back to what you were doing.
Start. Pause. Resume. Every session is tracked as a segment on your timeline. Go back and adjust any session that doesn’t reflect reality.
Kanban columns by project or a flat task list. Both views sit above the same live timeline. Switch with a click.
Color-coded folders. Multi-select in the sidebar to blend views. Every task belongs somewhere.
Cmd+click to multi-select. Shift+click for ranges. Complete, reschedule, or delete entire batches at once.
Tomorrow. In 2 days. Next week. One tap. Or drag a task to its new home on the timeline. Work history travels with it.
Zoom from 15 minutes to a full year. Create custom time windows. See your work at any resolution.
SwiftUI. SwiftData. SF Symbols. No Electron. No web views. Just a fast, native app that feels like it was made by Apple. Because the tools were.
Universal binary. Apple Silicon and Intel.
Stop managing a list. Start living in a timeline.
