## What is FocusU?

Too many to-dos and not sure where to start?
FocusU shows only the one task you should do right now.

- One task at a time: the oldest task is the only one on screen, so you just start
- Postpone up to 3 times: after that the task is let go automatically, so your list never piles up
- Look back on finished tasks with a stacked view and an activity grid
- Task Breakdown: AI splits a big task into three small steps you can start now
- Focus Timer (pomodoro-style) for deep work (Pro)
- Dark Mode support

Beat procrastination, one task at a time.
