About
Planners built for neurotypical brains ask you to organize everything up front. NowNext works the other way: get it out of your head first, then pick just three things for right now.
Made for ADHD brains, busy brains, and anyone who has stared at a 40-item to-do list and done none of it.
BRAIN DUMP
• Type or paste anything, one thought per line. Every line becomes a task.
• No categories, no due dates, no decisions yet. Just get it out.
• Say "Add to my NowNext" to Siri to capture without opening the app.
NOW, NEXT, LATER
• Now holds up to three things (you can change the limit from 1 to 5).
• Everything else waits in Next or Later, out of sight and out of the way.
• Swipe to move a task. When Now is full, finish one before adding another.
TINY STEPS
• Break big, scary tasks into steps so small they feel silly.
• The focus screen shows only your next step, nothing else.
VISUAL FOCUS TIMER
• A shrinking colored disk shows time as space, not just numbers.
• Pause, add five minutes, or end early. Every focused minute still counts.
• See the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Get a gentle notification when time is up.
FIGHT TIME BLINDNESS
• Add a rough time guess to any task.
• NowNext compares your guess with the time you actually focused.
HOME SCREEN WIDGET
• See your Now list and check things off without opening the app.
NOWNEXT PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription)
• Upcoming, as a countdown: your calendar shown as time left (45 min, 3 days, 2 weeks) instead of a grid of dates, with a 14-day horizon strip and one-tap prep tasks.
• Prefer a regular calendar? Flip to month, week or day view any time. Every event still shows how long until it starts.
• Put any task on the calendar from its "Where it lives" menu, and optionally add it to your iPhone calendar too (iCloud, Google, Outlook).
• Tap any event to fix the wording or move it.
• Routines: tasks that come back daily, on weekdays, weekly or monthly. Missed days never pile up.
• Insights: focus minutes by day and tasks finished each week.
• Time-sense calibration: learn how your guesses compare with reality ("tasks take you about 40% longer than you think") and plan with a personal multiplier.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.
• Everything is stored on your device. We never see your tasks.
NowNext is a planning and focus tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat ADHD or any other condition.
