About burnlist.app
Task manager with a fixed deadline.
burnlist.app is a minimalist daily task manager with one simple idea: your task list lives only for one day.
The Problem
Most task managers become graveyards of good intentions. Todoist with 200 tasks in the backlog. Notion with a dozen abandoned databases. Things with projects that will never be completed.
The Solution
burnlist works differently. Every day you start with a clean slate. Write down today's tasks. At midnight (in your timezone) the list resets.
No "postpone to tomorrow" button. No endless backlog. No projects, folders, or tags. Just today's tasks and a countdown to reset.
Who It's For
- — Those who are tired of complex productivity systems

How It Works
- 1. In the morning, write down your tasks for the day

Philosophy
We believe the best task manager is the one you actually use. Not the one with more features. Not the prettier one. The one that helps you get things done.
burnlist is intentionally limited. There are no recurring tasks, templates, integrations, or kanban boards. That's not a bug, it's a feature. Fewer options means less procrastination.
