Scored by Alex after real useOur verdict
Tranquil Tasker keeps things deliberately narrow: a tab for today's tasks, a separate backlog for everything else, and one button that clears the day's list, completed or not, to force fresh starts. Only a single task can be starred as the day's priority, which works well for people who find flexible to-do apps overwhelming. Anyone who wants project structure, subtasks, or the ability to remove one item without wiping the rest will find it too bare-bones.
✓What it does well
Today vs backlog splitSeparate tabs keep today's focus list apart from a backlog of future ideas.
Single priority starStarring one task at a time forces a clear daily priority instead of several.
Fast daily resetOne button clears the day's list so old tasks don't pile up indefinitely.
✕Where it falls short
All-or-nothing clearingClearing today's list is the only way to remove tasks, wiping both completed and pending items at once.
Single starred taskOnly one task can be starred as a priority at a time, with no way to flag several.
