Freely is a free to-do list and daily planner for your phone and laptop. You type a task the way you'd say it — “pay rent on the 1st of every month” — and Freely files it on the right day, at the right time, repeating if it should. My Day plans today in morning, afternoon and evening, Upcoming shows everything with a date, and lists can be shared View only or with editing rights. It works offline, has no ads and no tracking, and runs in any modern browser.
How it works
No setup and no projects to plan first. Start with one task; Freely keeps the busywork out of the way.
Type it the way you'd say it: “call the dentist tomorrow 3pm”. The day, the time, the repeat and the list come out of the words.
Add tasks to My Day and drag each into morning, afternoon or evening. Whatever you don't finish carries into tomorrow in the same part.
Share a list, a single task or your whole Upcoming. You choose what the other person may do, and for how long.
Tick it off, and a repeating task makes its next one. Ticked by mistake? Untick it with one more tap. A deleted task waits 30 days in Recently deleted.
Features
Tasks live in lists. Every task can carry a date, a time, a repeat, notes, steps, photos, a colour, a priority and people. The rest is how you look at them.

Days, times, ranges and repeats — “every other day”, “every weekday”, “the 1st of every month” — are read as you type, typos and all. Name a list and the task files itself there.
More about typing tasks in plain wordsEverything with a date, soonest first. Overdue tasks sit on top with Move to today, Date TBD waits at the bottom, never overdue, and on the Calendar you drag a task onto another day.
Habits for every day or for the weekdays you choose, ticked per day and shown at the top of My Day.
More about the habit trackerPin a note, give it a colour, sketch on it, and link it to a task — a date written in the note flows into the task.
Give a task a time and Freely reminds you: on the website while Freely is open, and in the phone apps, now being prepared, as a notification even with Freely closed.

My Day splits today into morning, afternoon and evening. Nothing is placed until you drag it there, anything unfinished carries into tomorrow in the same part, and today's habits sit at the top.

A to-do list only works if you trust it. Here is what Freely does to earn that.
Open Freely with no connection and your tasks are there. Changes wait on the device and are sent, in order, when the connection returns, and your other devices catch up. If the server ever refuses a change, the screen says so.

More about the offline to-do listDeleting a task offers Undo, and deleted tasks wait in Recently deleted for 30 days on every device, where Restore puts them back. Ticked something by mistake? Tap it again.
No analytics or tracking scripts, and your data is never sold or shared. The database itself checks every request, so only you and the people you share or assign tasks to can read them.
Back up, in Settings, downloads your tasks, lists, notes and habits as one file, any time; Restore brings one back in without making copies.
Questions
Yes. Freely costs nothing to use on the website: there is no card to enter and there are no ads. You sign up with your e-mail address.
It reads the day, the time, an end time and a repeat straight from the sentence you type: “call the dentist tomorrow 3pm”, “team meeting friday 4pm to 5:30pm”, “pay rent on the 1st of every month”. Typos in date words are forgiven, and words that only look like dates, such as “sun cream” or “2nd draft”, stay in the title.
Yes. Every share is View only unless you choose Edit & add or + delete, and you can give it an end date so it stops on its own. You can share a list, a single task or your whole Upcoming, and the database enforces those rights, not only the screen.
Yes. Sign in on both and the same tasks, lists, notes and habits are on each. Changes reach your other devices within moments when both are online, and catch up later when one wasn't.
The iPhone, Android and desktop apps are being prepared. Today Freely runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop, with nothing to install, and the apps will open the same account and the same tasks.
Type it the way you'd say it. The rest can wait.
