Closeloop is a different kind of to-do app. Most to-do apps give you a list that grows. Closeloop gives you loops that close. An open loop is anything taking up space in your head - the conversation you've been avoiding, the thing you keep meaning to sort out, the decision you haven't made yet. For every loop, you do one of two things: • Take the smallest possible action toward closing it • Or let it go entirely That's it. No due dates. No priorities. No labels. No complexity. Think of something that's been on your mind. What's the tiniest step you could take? Do that. If you genuinely can't think of one, let it go. Closeloop is built for people whose minds run hot - if you have ADHD, anxiety, or just too many tabs open in your brain, this app is for you. Your data never leaves your phone. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Just you and your loops. Free: 3 open loops Pro: Unlimited loops (7-day free trial, then £3.99/month) Terms of Use: https://benhowdle.im/closeloop/terms
