Great for ADHD/neurodivergent brains
This app is perfect for people who get overwhelmed easily, have difficulty staying focused, or who need a nudge to move on to the next thing, to name just a few. Functionality could be improved somewhat I think, but even so it’s the best app I’ve found for my brain, after trying out countless others. Thank you.

Excellent Work Tool
I have been searching for this app for ten years and am so happy to have finally found it! I have ADD and can't work from a prioritized Task List. I have gone through 20 different programs and they all have the same problem.
I start my morning by updating the list of things that I need to get done and then I click on Focus Task and it assigns a single task at random. The only discipline I need is to work on that one task and then I get the satisfaction of marking it complete and getting another one. I need to get stuff done, it doesn't really matter the order I do them.
I keep a list of daily and weekly tasks to put into the app. I have separate categories for specific types of activities. For example, I have a cleaning category and each day I put Cleaning into my main list and then it picks a room at random. My wife is so much happier with me that I put 20 minutes into cleaning somewhere in the house each day!
They will update the app with more features if people spend the couple of bucks on the pro version which gets you multiple categories. This app is work hundreds of dollars.

Can you edit list title after it’s set?
Love the simplicity. I’m sure I’ll use it often. Just would like to rename list if possible. Can this be done?
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! This will be possible in the next update.
Underrated
Great app since I have ADHD. Also this app is so underrated
I like it!
I really like the app so far, it was exactly what I needed! Are there any plans to allow a user to pick a background color?

Hi Farrahwinter, Thank you so much for the review and for the idea! Yes I'll make sure to add a few options in the next update.
Needs a way to uncheck all boxes in a list quickly so I can reuse
I like everything but wish there was a way to reuse the list by unchecking all. I use at least 2 of my lists on a daily basis but it’s annoying to have to uncheck all 20+ tasks at the end when I’m done. I would love a way to uncheck all. This app is amazing and I would use it for so much more! Like a master packing list, weekly chore list, even talking bullet points if there was a way to do one thing in order instead of just random. So I guess my 2 suggestions are:
1) an “uncheck all” button for unchecking all tasks so I can reuse a list easily (PLEASE MOST IMPORTANT).
2) a way to focus on just one task but not random (although this is not important).

Thank you so much for the review rosafranks2985! These are great ideas and I'll make sure they make it into the next update :-). Thanks again!
Only 2 things missing
The only things missing are:
1) the ability to uncheck all boxes at once so I can reuse a list I made without having to uncheck each individual box at a time (it is a pain to check long lists).
2) have a way to do one task is order so it’s not always random.
Everything else is awesome!
I love this app and use it for so many things!!!

Not great
You cannot choose which task shows up on the widget, or at least it’s not obvious how to do so.
Response from developer
Hi Ryan, Thank you for the feedback! The idea of the app was to have a random task show up every time, but I'll make sure you can also show them in order in the next update. Best, Rauno
Amazing!
Perfectly achieves what it advertises. Buying the premium version unlocks a couple more things, however it is still very functional without. Great app! 🙏
Only one thing missing
I use this app for all my lists: master packing list, daily chores, bills I have to pay, step by step instructions, presentation prompts, etc etc… I just love it and it helps me stay focused! The only problem I have is that I cannot easily “uncheck” all the check marks after I am done with my list - I reuse all my lists, but I have to uncheck them one at a time - which is SO time consuming (and annoying) that some days I don’t even want to open the app. Please make it possible to uncheck all 🙏 thank you! PS: one more small suggestion: I would love the option to either focus randomly on one task (as it currently allows) or to focus on a task in order! That would make this my 100% daily life app for every routine I have. From work, to morning/night routines, to using it for speeches I give. I can literally push the button to advance to the next task and have my one prompt right there! This would be so amazing! ❤️ Everything else in the app is perfect 😊
Edit: Thank you for your response! I look forward to the update!

Scam alert!
Premium doesn’t unlock the features listed. Waste of money. Don’t do what I did.
Widget aktualisiert kaum
Ich wollte es erstmal testen, eh ich es unterstütze & die Einmalzahlung tätige. Mir hilft es tatsächlich sehr das Widget auf dem Homebildschirm (wäre noch cool wenn man einstellen könnte, wenn man es auch auf dem Sperrbildschirm sehen möchte, dass die 1 Aufgabe einem immer vor die Nase springt). ALLERDINGS habe ich es angetestet & erst nur „Lesen“ als Focus gehabt. Dann habe ich es abgehakt & ein neues geschrieben: „Baden“ & es hat nicht aktualisiert. Es stand immer noch „Lesen“. Dann habe ich „Lesen“ sogar leider gelöscht (was ich doof find, weils ja cool ist evtl. morgen auf alte Aufgaben zurück zu greifen) & selbst da aktualisierte es nicht. Dann habe ich das Widget gelöscht & wieder neu fixiert. Immer noch das alte. Es ist frustrierend. Ich behalte es mal noch (auch wenns gerade sinnlos dadurch ist) vielleicht kommt dazu ja mal ein Update, weil die Idee hilft mir schon sehr! Trotzdem Danke & daher immerhin 2 Sterne ⭐️⭐️ weils trotzdem die 1. Aufgabe sehr half, so einfach & viel stressfreier lief

Amazing
I came to the App Store looking to see if this type of focus minded app existed (at 2AM while in bed - which is why I need this type of app) and was immediately impressed.
The only thought that I have that could make it “better” would be a setting for Title Case font. It’s an OCD thing - not worth a loss of a star, but it would be awesome.
Other than that, I love the simplicity. Premium is inexpensive and worth the upgrades. Thank you for making this!

3 reasons I paid for the upgrade
1. The reviews.
Very developer has less than perfect reviews. It was good to see rapid replies from Developer, showing they are there to help and improve.
2. Functionality of the app.
Simple. No unnecessary flair. Focused; just like described (and desired).
3. “No Data Collected”.
I’ve searched dozens of apps, for this type. I cannot believe how many collect batches of data that have absolutely nothing to do with the function of the app. Therefore, the other developers are mining data for income, making the value of their apps worthless, to me.
To THIS Developer, much gratitude and respect to you.
Thank you, for this excellent tool that improves my daily productivity.

Thank you so much for the review Edhelanu! Comments like these motivate me to work harder on my apps. If you come up with any ideas for improvements, don't hesitate to get in touch at apps@oval.fi. Thanks again!
The absolute best app of its kind.
This app gets 5 stars because it is absolutely outshines it’s competitors. It will arrange your tasks in alphabetical order to make it easy to see if you’ve already added a task easily. I get exhausted making decisions on what to prioritize and sometimes I just don’t get started. This makes the random choice for me and that way I can just get going rather than wasting time deciding what to what to do next.
That’s said, I do have a a few improvements that would make it close to perfect. 1. Allow for tasks to be edited, 2. Ability to select lists to merge together. 3. Allow for the timer to keep going even if you leave the app.

Hi AWiz37, Thank you so much for the review! I really like those ideas and will try to get most of them in the next update!
I’ve paid less for more
How do I change the order of my tasks? Can’t drag them
Response from developer
Hi Steeziefasheezie, Thanks for the review! The main idea of the app is to get a single random task from your list, to not get overwhelmed by them, but I do understand that you might want to order them like you want. I'll add a setting for this in the next update.
Good app
It’s a good app, but I would recommend to the developers to update this app for iPhone’s dark mode.
Response from developer
Hi Limitless, Thanks for the review and telling me about the issue! An update has now been submitted with a fix :-)
Rip Off
I want a refund.
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! You can ask for a refund through Apple. I'd love to know if there was something in the app that didn't meet your expectations to see if maybe I could fix them! Feel free to get in touch at apps@oval.fi
Good simple task app
In looking for a simpler task app I found this. Really like it, but would be awesome to be able to move a task from one list to another.
For example - Inbox, today, this week, later, and move to right list as needed.

Great app!!
Love this app. Helps me really stay focused!!
One addition that would be very helpful is the ability to edit an item in a list. As of now, if you want to change or add info, you have to create a new item.
Developer also seems to really listen to feedback, as app has gotten better and better with each update!!
