Compare

Built for more than one thing at a time.

Most to-do apps were designed for one person doing one task at a time. With AI agents doing part of the work, you’re often running three or four. Here’s how TodoLapse compares with the tools you might be using today.

Several timers at once.Todoist and Things have no timer. Toggl Track and ClickUp run one at a time. In TodoLapse every task in motion runs at once, each in its own lane.

A record, not a plan.Most apps show due dates and estimates. TodoLapse draws when each task actually ran and finished.

Rewind.The others keep an activity log at most. TodoLapse shows your list exactly as it was at any second, and replays a day in thirty seconds.
