Some days the hardest part isn't doing the thing, it's deciding what to do, remembering it exists, and not drowning in everything else. ActuallyDoIt is a to-do app for exactly those days. Instead of a bottomless list, it shows you ONE thing to do right now and can persistently remind you to get stuff done. ONE THING AT A TIME • A single "Doing now" card keeps you on one task with a big Done button and a guilt-free "Can't do this now" escape. • A "Today" view that only shows what needs doing today. No more overwhelming list of everything. • "Suggested next" shows a short, curated preview of what's coming, never the whole backlog. • A day-progress ring shows what you've already knocked out today. NUDGES THAT ACTUALLY WORK • Choose how hard each task nudges you: Gentle (one morning reminder), Persistent (a few through the day), or Relentless (every hour, 9am–9pm, until it's done). • Reminders stop the moment you finish. No nagging about things you've already handled. • A friendly morning digest tells you what's on your plate for the day. CAN'T DECIDE? LET THE APP CHOOSE • Tap "Pick for me" and ActuallyDoIt suggests one task to start that fits in the time you have, beating the decision paralysis when everything feels equally impossible. CHORES & ROUTINES • Set recurring chores (daily, weekly, monthly, or every few days) that quietly come back when they're due. • Going away? Pause a chore so it stops nagging until you're back. ORGANIZED, LIGHTLY • Tag tasks (Home, Work, Admin…) and filter down to just what matters. • Add a time estimate, so you can pick something that fits the time you actually have. • A Lock Screen Live Activity and Home Screen widget keep your current task in view. • Location based tasks for when you need a reminder at a place. • Checklists for when your tasks have tasks. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. • Your tasks sync across your devices through your own iCloud. • Free to use, with an optional tip if it helps you. Built for anyone whose brain gets overwhelmed easily, but genuinely useful for anyone who wants to stop managing a list and start finishing things. Download the app now, and Actually Do It.
