## What is FocusDo?

FocusDo is a minimal to-do list with a Focus Mode. Write down what needs doing, enter Focus Mode, and the screen shows only the task in front of you — plus a pair of eyes watching you finish it. Slip off to another app, and the Dynamic Island reminds you to come back.

No timers. No streaks. No guilt. Just a short list, one task in front of you, and something quietly keeping you on it.

ADHD-friendly by design: built for people who struggle to start, drift off easily, or lose the whole afternoon without knowing where it went.


【Focus Mode: it watches you finish this one】
Swipe into Focus Mode and your list disappears. One task fills the screen — nothing else. Swipe it away when it's done. Turn your phone sideways and prop it on the desk, and it becomes a sticky note with one thing written on it. On the screen is a pair of hand-drawn eyes, watching you the whole time: stall too long and they get sleepy, finish a task and they light up, tap them and they wink back.

【Dynamic Island: it notices when you leave】
Slip out to scroll your phone and FocusDo stays in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen, showing what you were doing and how many tasks are left. It reminds you to come back every so often, and you can turn it off any time. Pro members can set their own reminder interval. Getting distracted isn't failure. Coming back is what counts.

【Auto-archive: only what matters today】
Tasks auto-archive after a day or a week — your choice. Nothing is deleted; it's all one tap away in Archive. Your list only ever shows what's in front of you right now, so it never becomes the thing you avoid.

【Minimal: write it down, do it, cross it out】
No folders, no tags, no priority levels, no settings rabbit hole. A black-and-white, hand-drawn notepad.
