Forgetist

Life hacking tool using Todoist.

Let's forget the past

Forgetist simply deletes overdue tasks from Todoist.

I don't like seeing incomplete tasks which should have done few months ago.
If you just leave it, those tasks are not important in your life.
Then let's forget it and start brand new day!
