Do more and plan less. Get things off your mind and into a trusted system. Get things done without stress. Manage your commitments as Next Actions and Projects. DoNext helps you to pick what to do next. No need to constantly rethink your tasks. DoNext assists you in two things: (1) Add and (2) Do. (1) Add - Decide your Project and Next Action Whenever you think of something e.g. "Rome vacation" enter the idea into DoNext. Later decide 2 things: • PROJECT: Desired outcome - How does success looks like, e.g. "Have fight ticket to Paris". • NEXT-ACTION: Physical next step - The next thing you can do towards the project, e.g. "search flight to Paris" with the context "online". A context is the location, situation or person required to do the next-action. (2) Do - Select your List Whenever you decide what to do next, filter in DoNext by context e.g. „market“, „online“, „team-meeting“, or „partner“ then pick a Next Action. STANDARD FEATURES • Tap a Next Action in the list to mark it as completed. • Completed items disappear the next day. You can still find all the actions in the search screen. • Decide the Next Action without moving your fingers from your keyboard. Swipe down in a list to create a Next Action for it. • Jot down ideas on the go: See Actions which need a context in the inbox. • Dynamic filters: Switching the context of an Action takes only 3 taps. • Go to links, edit or delete items by swiping them left. • Use Siri Shortcuts in iOS 12 to quickly go to a list. • Pull down in a list to create a similar Next Action. • End the next-action with "," to create an additional Next Action with the same Context. HERE IS WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT Benefits of (1) Add: Experience a great sense of clarity and perspective. Decided the Next Action for all your open loops. Splitting up all your desired outcomes in tiny Projects gives you great perspective. Since you only focus on the immediate Next Action you won‘t spend a lot of time on planing each Project. DoNext makes it feasible to have hundreds of Next Actions at the same time. If you don't have a system for your smaller commitments your head attempts to do it for you. If you don’t write a thought down and decide on it, you probably will be stressed about it again later without making progress on it. Benefits of (2) Do: Experience a great sense of focus, instead of rethinking your options all the time. Free your head from rethinking all your tasks. Working from your lists keeps your lists of To-Dos actionable and relevant. No need for manual task order, subsequent actions, "today view" or due reminders. Items are automatically sorted. HOW DONEXT FITS IN YOUR EXISTING WORKFLOW Ensure every item in DoNext could be done by you right now. Plan complex Projects where you need to track more than the Next Action on a separate document or system. Add the actions to DoNext as they become Next Actions. Create a tag PROJECTS and fill it with all your desired end results with multiple steps, e.g. "Organise flight to Italy". Decide the Next Action for each item in your inbox. Schedule time specific actions in your calendar. For all ASAP tasks use DoNext. Make DoNext your major source of todos for deciding what to do next.

LOCK THE APPS THAT OWN YOU Screen time apps just tell you that you spent 2 hours on TikTok, then let you keep scrolling. Scroll Limit actually locks the apps that pull you in, and gives you only 3 unlocks a day. When you hit a wall instead of an endless feed, the habit finally breaks. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you keep losing time to. Scroll Limit locks them using Apple's Screen Time. Open one and you hit a lock screen, not a feed. Want in? You get 3 unlocks a day, and each one is a deliberate choice, not a reflex. 3 LIVES A DAY You start every day with 3 unlocks. Spend one only when you really mean to. Run out and your locked apps stay locked until tomorrow. It is a hard limit you set for yourself, so being "just a little" on your phone is no longer automatic. YOUR HOME SCREEN Your locked apps sit front and center in a clean pyramid with their real icons. See your remaining unlocks at a glance on the lives banner. Tap any app to unlock it for a set time, then watch it lock itself back down. FOCUS FIRE Keep at least one unlock in reserve each day and your Focus Fire climbs a level. Burn all three and it drops. Rise through 8 tiers, from Spark to Eternal, by holding back day after day. It is a streak that rewards restraint, not just showing up. UNLOCK CHALLENGE Unlocking is never one tap. A quick challenge stands between you and the app, just enough friction to make you pause and ask if you really need it. FOCUS SESSIONS Need to lock in? Start a focus session and block all your apps for a set time. Choose your difficulty: Easy: cancel anytime with an exit challenge Medium: harder exit challenges Deep Focus: no cancelling until the timer runs out SCHEDULES Set recurring locked blocks around your routine. Morning Focus locks apps from 6 to 9 AM. Work Mode keeps you off social during business hours. Evening Wind Down disconnects you before bed. Build your own with flexible day and time selection. PRIVACY FIRST All your data stays on your device. Scroll Limit uses Apple's privacy-preserving Screen Time API. We never see which apps you use or how long you use them. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Download Scroll Limit and lock the apps that own you. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
