Why iPhone users pick Done Bear

One list across every device

Capture on the phone, plan on a laptop, check Today from someone else's browser. The same list, not an export.

Local-first on iPhone

Tasks live on the phone. Today opens instantly, and a task captured in airplane mode is saved before the network returns.

Who should stay on Things 3

If every device you own is Apple and the list is yours alone, stay on Things 3. Done Bear is for work that also happens on a PC or with someone else.
