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?

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?

Response from developer
