The to-do list that won't leave you alone.

Stubborn pins your to-dos to your lock screen and keeps them there until they're actually done. It nags when you ask it to. It never guilt-trips. Made for brains that forget.

Dump it in three seconds.

Add from Control Center, a Quick Settings tile or the share menu. No sorting, no due dates, no thinking. Just get it out of your head.

Mon 9:41 am

Then it lives on your lock screen.

Every time you check the time, there it is. It only leaves when you mark it done in the app.

Mon 10:11 am

Flip the nag switch.

For the ones you really can't forget. Stubby checks in every 30 minutes until it's done, and lets you sleep during quiet hours.

Mon 11:41 am

Still ignoring it? Stubby escalates.

Ignore a nag and Stubby gets louder. Keep ignoring it and it becomes a full-blown alarm that rings until you deal with it. Stubby does not handle being ignored well. Pro

Mon 11:42 am

Done feels good.

One tap. A little buzz, a little burst, and the next thing slides up. Stubby might even smile.

Sunday night

No streak to lose.

Missed a day? Nothing resets. Stubborn counts the days you showed up, not the ones you didn't.

Out of sight, out of mind?
Not anymore.

Most to-do apps wait politely for you to open them. You won't. So Stubborn comes to you, and stays.

It stays.

Your list lives on your lock screen. A task only leaves when you mark it done in the app. No swiping it away. No "I'll look later".

It nags.Only if you ask.

Flip the nag switch on any task and Stubby checks in every 30 minutes until it's done. Quiet hours included, so it lets you sleep.

It never shames.

No red overdue piles. No streak that resets to zero. Just "you showed up 5 of the last 7 days", and a pebble that's quietly proud of you.

Meet Stubby.

Stubby lives on your list and has opinions about it. Crossed arms mean there's work to do. The smile is rare. Earn it.

WaitingArms crossed. Not moving.

Made for ADHD brains. And everyone who forgets.

If you can see it, you'll do it. That's the whole idea. Stubborn keeps the next thing in front of you, lets you capture a thought in seconds, and celebrates the wins without punishing the bad days.

Questions

When does it launch?

We're building it now. Waitlist members get in first, and the higher you are on the list, the sooner you get access.

Is it free?

Yes. The core app is free: your lock-screen list, one nag, reminders and the streak. Stubborn Pro adds extras like multiple lists, unlimited nags, alarms and repeating tasks.

iPhone or Android?

Both. On Android your list lives in a card that stays on the lock screen. On iPhone it lives in lock-screen widgets plus a colour card that refreshes through the day.

Where do my tasks go?

They stay on your phone. We don't need an account to run your list.

Is there stuff to buy?

Stubborn Pro, and optional credit packs for Stubby's outfits. But everything Stubby wears can also be earned for free, just by showing up.

How does moving up the waitlist work?

After you join you get a personal link. Every friend who joins with it moves you up 10 places.

Stubby is waiting.

Arms crossed. Not going anywhere. Join the waitlist and be first in line.
