About

The productivity problem you've never heard of: Every todo app shows you everything. Your brain sees the list and freezes. Psychologists call it "choice paralysis." We call it Tuesday. This One Thing: Single Task; ADHD Focus Todo Productivity solves the opposite problem: not how to organize your tasks, but how to hide them. Here's how it works: Add unlimited tasks (your brain needs to capture everything) See exactly ONE task at a time (your eyes need to focus on THIS ONE THING) Complete it to reveal the next (no peeking, no planning, no paralysis) Skip if you must (but it goes to the back of the line) What you won't find here: Priority levels (everything's a priority, which means nothing is) Due dates (artificial urgency is still anxiety) Categories (organizing is procrastinating with extra steps) Collaboration (focus is a solo sport) Gamification (you're not a rat in a maze) What you will find: One task. One screen. One decision. A timer that shows focus time (what you measure, you value) Statistics that matter (streak days, completion count) Design that looks expensive (because restraint is luxury) The behavioral economics: Rory Sutherland, vice chairman of Ogilvy, says the best solutions solve the problem backwards. Instead of "how do I get more done?" ask "what stops me from starting?" The answer: seeing everything stops you from doing anything. THIS ONE THING makes the limitation into the feature. You can't see task #2 until task #1 is done. Not because we're mean, but because your brain works better that way. Who this is for: People with 50+ tasks who complete zero Anyone who reorganizes their todo list instead of doing it Humans who overthink, overplan, and underexecute Those who know that "just start" works but can't make themselves start Who this isn't for: People who need to see the big picture (this app deliberately hides it) Teams (there's no sharing, no sync, no collaboration) Planners (there's no calendar, no projects, no someday/maybe) This app makes your life harder in exactly one way: you can't avoid the next task by looking at other tasks. No escaping into "planning." No comfort of "I'll do that other thing first." Just you and THIS. Every time. Most apps try to make work easier. This one makes avoidance harder. That's worth $4.99. Privacy: Your tasks live on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. We don't know what you're doing, and we don't want to.

What's New in This One Thing

1.2

January 6, 2026

This One Thing v1.2 Widget Update: Your Task Follows You Now What hasn't changed: Still one task. Still no list view. Still no peeking. Still offline. Still deliberately limiting because limitation works. What's new: Home screen widget. Now the task finds you. No opening the app to "check what's next." It's right there. One task. One glance. One fewer excuse. Most widgets show you everything. Calendars with 12 events. Todo lists with collapsed categories. Badges screaming "47 items!" This widget shows one sentence. The thing you're avoiding by checking your widget. The behavioral economics: Friction has two types. Bad friction stops you starting. Good friction stops you escaping. Opening an app is bad friction. Seeing your whole list is an escape hatch. Widget removes bad friction (no app launch). Keeps good friction (still can't browse tasks). Still not for: People who need "the full picture" (that picture paralyzes you) Project managers (go buy OmniFocus) Anyone who thinks more features = better (they don't) Still perfect for: ADHD brains who open the app and forget why People who'd complete tasks if they just saw them more Humans who need the next step visible, always Three competitors still rank higher. Zero understand that reducing options increases completion. That's still worth £4.99.
