STOP DROWNING IN YOUR TO-DO LIST You don't have a productivity problem. You have a clarity problem. Too many tasks, too many apps, too many choices — your brain freezes before you even start. Sixthings fixes this with one constraint: 6 priorities a day. No more. When you can only pick 6, you're forced to decide what actually matters. That decision — repeated daily — changes everything. BUILT FOR OVERWHELMED BRAINS If you've tried every planner, every system, every app — and still feel behind — Sixthings is different. It doesn't give you more tools. It takes them away. - Only 6 tasks. Ever. The limit is the point. - Priority #1 stays locked at the top. Do it first. - Evening planning: choose tomorrow's 6 tonight. Wake up clear. - Incomplete tasks roll over automatically — no guilt, no lost work. MEET IVY — YOUR PATTERN MIRROR After a few days, Ivy starts showing you what you actually do vs. what you say matters. "You've put 'exercise' on your list 12 times. You've completed it once. It's always #5 or #6. What's really going on?" Ivy isn't a chatbot. Ivy is a mirror. It shows you the gap between your intentions and your actions — the gap most people never see. WHY THIS WORKS FOR ADHD & OVERWHELM → Decision paralysis? You only get 6 slots. Choosing is fast. → Task initiation? #1 is highlighted. Start there. Just that one. → Losing track? Patterns show you exactly where your energy goes. → Guilt spirals? Rollover is automatic. Tomorrow is a fresh start. CORE FEATURES • 6-task daily limit — the constraint IS the product • Drag-to-reorder priorities • Streak tracking (consecutive days completing #1) • Ivy tab — your patterns, insights, and honest reflections • Weekly report with AI-powered analysis • Custom Vibes to tag focus areas • Evening planning mode (6 PM+) • iCloud sync across devices • Beautiful dark design — no visual clutter SIXTHINGS FOCUS (PREMIUM) • Daily Ivy insights (vs weekly for free) • Deeper pattern breakdowns • Morning reminder to start with #1 • Support independent development Sixthings won't do the work for you. But it will help you see yourself clearly enough to stop spinning and start choosing.

Struggling to get started? Stop scrolling and start firing. Dopamine Cannon turns your mundane to-do list into a visceral, gamified experience. Instead of ticking boxes, you are loading artillery. Instead of "selecting" a task, you are spinning the cylinder of a high-caliber productivity weapon. How it Works: 1. Load the Armory: Add your micro-tasks (e.g., "Drink Water", "10 Squats", "Wipe Desk"). 2. Spin the Cylinder: Swipe left or right to randomize your target. The app learns what you avoid and helps you tackle it. 3. Prime the Cannon: Physically drag down the heavy bolt to load the mechanism. Feel the haptics build up. 4. FIRE: Release to lock in your task. The cannon fires, and your 5-minute focus timer begins. 5. Earn Dopamine: Complete the mission to earn points and track your "Combat Record." Key Features: 1. Satisfying Physics: Heavy haptic feedback and fluid animations make every interaction feel mechanical and powerful. 2. Weighted Randomization: The smart cylinder prioritizes tasks you haven't done in a while. 3. Combat Record: Track your daily, weekly, and monthly performance with detailed stats. 4. Focus Timer: A built-in "Fuse" timer locks you into the task until the mission is complete. 5. Dopamine Score: Watch your score rise as you build momentum. Don't just do your chores. Annihilate them.
