Other to‑do apps overcomplicate it.
What starts as a tidy list grows with more and more tasks from months ago. Such systems add too many features and options. The problem isn't your discipline. It's the design which turns to-do lists into a guilt pile.
Matina keeps it simple on purpose. A task you write today is a promise for today, and at midnight it's settled: done and filed, expired into the archive, or pinned for the future. Every day gone is kept in a searchable archive for you.
If you want events to appear on a future date then set this up with ease.
