Motivational Quotes

A little inspiration when you need it

When your list is empty, Todoodah doesn't show you a blank screen. Instead, you're greeted with a motivational quote, displayed in elegant italic Fraunces typography. It's a small touch that turns an empty list into a moment of calm reflection.

There are 54 curated quotes covering topics like perseverance, focus, creativity, and the simple joy of getting things done. Each one has been chosen to feel relevant without being preachy.

Quotes that rotate naturally

You'll see a new quote every time you switch between lists. Finished your last todo and cleared the list? A fresh quote appears to celebrate the moment. This rotation keeps things feeling dynamic without ever being intrusive.

The quotes are randomized, so you won't see the same one twice in a row. Over time, you'll discover the full collection as you use the app.

Three empty state modes

Not everyone wants a quote staring back at them. Todoodah gives you three options for what to show when a list is empty:

• Random quote — a new motivational quote each time, the default and most popular choice
• Default message — a simple, friendly prompt reminding you to add some todos
• Nothing — a clean, empty space for those who prefer minimalism

Beautiful typography

Quotes are rendered in Fraunces, the same display typeface used throughout Todoodah. The italic style gives each quote a handwritten, personal quality that feels warm and inviting. Combined with generous spacing and a subtle color treatment, the quotes look more like art than UI text.

Celebrating small wins

The moment you complete your last todo is worth acknowledging. Instead of just showing a checkmark or an empty state, Todoodah uses that moment to share something uplifting. It's a gentle reminder that getting things done, no matter how small, is always worth celebrating.
