The task app for building solo — three priorities, three sizes, no busywork.
Private by default. Lives in your iCloud, not our servers.
Zoro works the way you do — list or board, your call. No account, no backend, nobody in the middle. Free forever with unlimited tasks and iCloud sync; Pro is $59.99 once — or from $2.99/mo — when you want the deeper weekly practice.
We don't crush goals. We don't unleash productivity. We name three things for today, finish them, and tomorrow we name three more. The week takes care of itself.
The reward for cutting a task is silence and a strikethrough. No confetti.
Zoro is built for one person. No teams, no standups, no @-mentions.
Sharp corners, hairline borders, a single brand color. Everything else gets in the way.
Zoro is built around three actions and almost nothing else. They show up in the UI, in the gestures, and in the way you'll plan a day once you stop thinking in tickets.
Finish a task by cutting it. The card strikethroughs and slides to Done. No confetti, no streak counter, no nudge to share it.
Review what's open. Drop what's stale. Resize what grew. The board doesn't ask you to do this — but it makes it obvious when it's time.
Pick a small number for today. A short active list is focus — anything more isn't focus, it's a list of things you're avoiding.
Personal or Business. Two spaces, hardcoded, no setup screen. Your work life and your home life keep their own boards and never bleed into each other.
Title, P1–P3 priority, and Small, Medium, or Large. If you can't size it, it isn't a task yet; it's two tasks pretending to be one.
Drag to Done, or tap the card. The row strikethroughs and slides. That's the daily loop — and your iPhone and your Mac stay in step through your own iCloud.
Every Zoro feature has to earn its place on the board. If it isn't visible from the list or the kanban, doesn't move a task, or doesn't help you finish one, it isn't in.
Your work board and your home board live in the same app and never see each other. No workspace creation, no permission tier, no settings page to wire it up — switch with one tap and the rest of the UI swaps with you.
No points, no Fibonacci, no story-point theatre. If a task isn't a Small, a Medium, or a Large, it isn't ready — it's two tasks pretending to be one. Cut it apart first.
Three columns by default — To do, In progress, Done. Drag between them; the order survives because the app uses fractional indexing under the hood. Pro adds custom statuses if three columns isn't enough.
No account, no login screen, no server we run. Zoro syncs your iPhone and your Mac through your own iCloud — your tasks never touch a Zoro database, because there isn't one. If we ever shut the lights off, the app keeps working and your data stays exactly where it already is.
Zoro is a personal tool, not a SaaS platform — no per-seat math, no admin tier, no annual-only trap. Free is genuinely free. Pro is three options, one app: $59.99 once and you never see another invoice — or $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year while you decide.
No. Linear is built for teams sharing a roadmap. Zoro is built for one person trying to finish a day. There are no assignees, no @-mentions, no roles, no comments thread. The unit of work is the task — and a task is small enough to cut today.
Unlimited tasks, unlimited projects, iCloud sync across all your devices, the list and kanban board, P1/P2/P3 priority, S/M/L sizing, task aging, and a basic weekly review. No task caps, no timer, no trial. You only see a paywall for going deeper into the practice: the full weekly insight cards, History, Trends, the Stats tab, subtasks, and custom statuses.
Nothing happens. The cards stay where they are, the board doesn't lecture you, there's no streak to break. Come back tomorrow, cut what's done, drop what's stale, keep moving.
Because lists pretend everything is equal until you've finished it. A board makes In progress take up the same visual weight as To do, which is honest — the Large card you've been dodging for three days has nowhere to hide. Zoro gives you both views over the same tasks.
No. Zoro is single-player on purpose. If you need teams, every other tool in the productivity category is for you. We're staying in our lane.
On your device, and in your own iCloud — specifically, your CloudKit Private Database — so your iPhone and your Mac stay in step. There's no Zoro server, no Zoro account, no Zoro database. Apple does the syncing; we never see your tasks either way. If you stop using the app, your data leaves with you.
Nothing. The app keeps running on your device, and your tasks keep living where they already are — on the device, and in your own iCloud. There's no Zoro server to go dark, no account to lock you out, no database we could lose. The worst outcome of us closing up shop is that you stop getting updates — not that you lose a week of work.
Because we're one person too. CloudKit gives us sync for free if we stay inside Apple's house — and that's how we can charge $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or $59.99 once without a backend bill. Android and the web aren't on the v1 list.
After Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman who fights with three blades and never picks up a fourth. The brand keeps the focus and the edge, drops everything else. The user is the swordsman; the app is the desk.
Zoro opens in summer 2026 on iPhone and Mac. The waitlist gets the App Store link the morning we open, plus a code for half off Pro for life — $29.99 once, not $59.99. No marketing email, ever. Unsubscribe by closing the tab.
