NextOne helps groups take turns without arguments. Build lists of names or tasks, see who’s up next at a glance, and advance with one tap—in order or at random—with optional sound and haptics for a satisfying moment when someone’s turn lands. Key features 
• My Lists — Create unlimited lists and manage them in one place.
 • Next up — Each list shows what’s on deck before you tap.
 • Two ways to pick — In order walks your list top-to-bottom on a loop, or choose Random for a fresh pick each time.
 • Fair random (optional) — Turn off “allow repeats” so everyone is chosen once before anyone repeats.
 • What’s next — Full-screen flow when you want a big, readable result for the room.
 • Automatic schedule — Optionally move to the next pick on a chosen day (or every day) and, if you want, a time of day. Scheduling runs when you open the app or bring it to the front—open NextOne after that moment to apply any due advances (not a guaranteed background alarm).
 • Reorder & edit — Drag to reorder items, swipe to delete; reset in-order rotation when you need a fresh start. Additional features
 • Sample lists on first use (e.g. ideas like movie night and a classroom-style list) so you can try the flow right away.
 • Appearance — Light, dark, or follow the system.
 • Haptics & sounds — Toggle feedback and pick from several short sound cues. 
• How to in-app guide plus privacy and send feedback from Settings.
 • Private & local — Your lists live in on-device storage; built for everyday rotation at home, school, or work. Free
 Everything above is included at no extra cost—no account required to use the core app. Premium
 There is no Premium tier or subscription in this version; all described features are part of the standard app. If you add paid options later, update this text and your in-app disclosures to match. From Artisan Media
 NextOne is crafted for clear, low-friction “who’s next?” moments—whether you’re lining up presentations, sharing chores, running a game night, or keeping class participation fair.
