Bonsai

For Mac, iPhone, and iPad. One purchase covers all.

There are thousands of TODO apps. Hundreds of them are not much different from Bonsai. But if you like Bonsai, you won’t have to look for another app. That’s my point.

How to use

  1. Create a new task. It goes to Inbox. Inbox is just a messy, unsorted staging area.
  2. Swipe left to move tasks from “Inbox” to “Lists.” Classify them there.
  3. Choose the tasks you want to focus on and flag them as Today.
  4. Filter by Today and work free from distractions.

Good to know

  1. You can flag tasks as important, urgent, or both.
  2. Customize keyboard shortcuts on Mac.
  3. You can nest sublists to any depth.

Privacy

Bonsai stores task and list data on your devices and syncs it through your private Apple iCloud database. No separate Bonsai sign-up is required. Support messages and visits to this website have separate data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

What it costs

Bonsai is free to download. You can create your first 100 tasks for free.

The free version is effectively a trial. With daily use, those 100 tasks go quickly. Once you reach the limit, you’ll need Unlock Bonsai Pro to keep creating tasks.

Unlock Bonsai Pro is $19.99 USD once. No subscription. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad, including every future feature.

Prices are shown in USD. Local prices vary by country or region based on applicable exchange rates. The App Store shows your final local price.

Coming soon to the App Store. The listing is not available yet.
