Mochi has Apple Watch support plus interactive widgets, so you can check off tasks without opening the app on your phone. It stays deliberately simple — reminders and repeats, emoji tags, 100 skins — with no project-management bloat. It's free to start with a one-time unlock, no ads and no account. Check the current App Store listing for exact Watch features.
