About

TaskSteps

Features
Read full description

You have one task. It feels like twenty. You know what you need to do - you just can't start. TaskSteps is the AI task breaker built for brains that freeze at "where do I begin." Type any task exactly how it feels - messy, vague, overwhelming. TaskSteps breaks it into a clear plan matched to your current energy level. WHAT YOU GET: First Action: One concrete thing you can do right now. No decisions, no prep. Just start. Step-by-Step Plan: A realistic sequence with time estimates. Not a productivity fantasy - actual steps sized for how you feel today. Rescue Step: Lost focus halfway through? Every plan includes a re-entry point so you can pick back up without starting over. THREE ENERGY MODES: Low Energy: Fewer steps, gentler asks, shorter time blocks. For the days where getting dressed counts as a win. Normal Energy: Balanced plans with moderate challenge. Your everyday mode. High Energy: More ambitious steps for the days when motivation shows up unannounced. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Type your task in plain language ("file taxes" or "clean the entire apartment somehow") 2. Pick your current energy: low, normal, or high 3. Get your first action, full step list, and rescue step in seconds 4. Check off steps as you go 5. Every plan saves to local history - search past decompositions anytime BUILT FOR YOUR BRAIN: TaskSteps doesn't ask you to build habits, maintain streaks, or set up a productivity system. You open it when you're stuck. It gives you the next thing to do. That's it. All processing happens on-device. Your tasks stay on your phone. Download TaskSteps and turn your next overwhelming task into a first step. 3 free task decompositions to start. Unlock unlimited plans for $4.99 - one time, no subscription.
