Liquid Deadline is a visual deadline tracker for iPhone that helps you see how much time is left at a glance. Instead of treating tasks as static items on a list, it shows each task across its full timeline—from start time to deadline—so urgency feels more intuitive. You can organize tasks by category, sort by remaining time, switch between progress and grid views, and check upcoming deadlines with widgets. Built by a student using vibe coding.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m a student maker, and I built Liquid Deadline to make deadlines feel more intuitive and less abstract. Instead of a plain task list, the app visualizes each task across its timeline so you can instantly sense what’s urgent, what’s coming up, and what’s already slipping away. I’d love to hear what features would make this more useful for students, builders, or anyone juggling lots of deadlines.

Congrats on the launch! As someone managing a product launch with a million different pieces, this is exactly the kind of app that I need. A static to-do list does NOT capture the panic of a deadline creeping up. Does it let you set milestone checkpoints within a single deadline, or is it more of a start-to-end view?
@aya_vlasoff Thanks so much, Aya — really appreciate your perspective, especially coming from someone managing a complex product launch!
You’re absolutely right — traditional to-do lists often fail to capture that growing pressure as deadlines approach, and that’s exactly the problem I’m trying to solve with Liquid Deadline.
Regarding milestone checkpoints within a single deadline — that’s a great suggestion. I’ve noted it down, and it’s definitely something I’m planning to explore and potentially include in a future update.
Thanks again for the insightful feedback!
@aya_vlasoff and you can DM me on X for free promo if you need😋

Big congrats on this launch! I think the timeline view is a much better way to feel urgency than a plain checklist. I think all deadlines hit different when you can see time literally running out. Any plans to add recurring deadlines or calendar sync for people managing ongoing projects? I think those features would make this even more valuable. Best of luck!

Thanks so much, Simon — really appreciate the thoughtful feedback!
You’re absolutely right: seeing time literally “drain away” creates a very different kind of urgency compared to traditional checklists, and that’s exactly what I wanted to capture.
Regarding your question — recurring deadlines and calendar integration are already on the way.
I’ve implemented support for recurring tasks, as well as importing calendars via URL or .ics files, so you can sync ongoing projects seamlessly.
The update is currently under App Store review, and should be available very soon.
Would love to hear your thoughts once you try those features!
