How to set it.

  1. 1

    iPhone

    Tap “Save my wallpaper”, then “Save Image”. Open Photos, tap the picture, tap the share button, choose “Use as Wallpaper”, then “Add” and “Set as Wallpaper Pair” (or just the lock screen).
  2. 2

    Android

    Tap “Save my wallpaper”. Open the picture in Photos or Gallery, tap ⋮, choose “Use as” or “Set as wallpaper”, then pick the lock screen.
  3. 3

    Each morning

    New day, new three? Come back, change the words, save again. It takes about twenty seconds. Or let the app do it for you.

Not sure which three? Paste everything on your mind into the brain-dump sorter and it picks three for you. Prefer paper? There’s a printable three-things planner.

Quick answers

Is it free? Do you keep what I type?

Free, no sign-up, and we don't save your three things anywhere. They travel in the picture's web address while it's drawn (like any website, our host may briefly log addresses it serves), so keep secrets off your lock screen anyway.

What size is the wallpaper?

iPhone: 1179 × 2556 (fits current iPhones; it scales neatly on others). Android: 1080 × 2400. The top stays clear for your clock and widgets, the bottom for the flashlight and camera buttons.

Why put a to-do list on the lock screen?

You unlock your phone dozens of times a day. Seeing the same three things each time keeps them in front of you without an app, a notification or a nag.

Why only three?

Three is small enough to finish and big enough to matter. A lock screen with ten tasks is a guilt screen. Three is a plan.

Can it update itself every day?

The picture can't. The Nuffo app can: it has a free main-win widget for your home and lock screen that changes when your day does.

Three things is enough.

A wallpaper is a picture; your day isn't. Nuffo keeps today's three on your lock screen with a free widget, sorts everything else, and sends you off to live when they're done.
