3 Tasks is the to-do list for people who are tired of endless to-do lists. Each day you write down three tasks, the ones that really matter, and get them done one at a time, with a timer on each. Why three: A long list spreads your attention thin. When you can only pick three, you choose what truly counts and actually finish it. Fewer tasks, more done, no burnout. Free, forever: • Your 3 daily priorities on one clean screen • A start/pause timer on every task, Pomodoro-style • The timer keeps counting in the background, with the screen locked or the app closed • Repeat Daily: a task you do every day comes back each morning with its time at zero • A small celebration every time you finish a task • Home screen widget with your three tasks • Dark mode • A gentle tick sound, or silence if you prefer 3 Tasks Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription): • History: every day you finished, with the time each task took • Streak: how many days in a row you have kept it up • Export your history as a CSV file • Four extra color themes: Sunset, Forest, Berry and Graphite The three tasks, the timer, the widget and dark mode stay free. Our story: After trying every productivity app out there, we realized what we needed didn't exist: an app that makes you focus on just 3 tasks a day. So we built it. Privacy: No ads and no account. The app uses Firebase Analytics to count how timers and tasks are used, as its App Store privacy label shows.

ReNext has passed the qualification screening stage (focused on innovation & potential of ReNext) for Special Startup Korea Visa, April 2026. #1 of Information Management & #3 of #project organization on EliteAI.tools. Think different. Push the boundaries of goodness—things that, within my own limited understanding, no one else has ever attempted. - Shakenal Dimension, Founder of Thinfferent ReNext: The Cognitive Execution Operating System for Humans One thumb. One system. Your entire life. VISION ReNext becomes: The layer between human intention and ultimate goal/dream. Humans don’t think in tasks. They think in: meaning, memory, direction, and goal/dream. But modern tools just ignore this. So productivity tools haven’t evolved in 20 years. But ReNext does. ReNext keeps it simple, clear and natural with a feeling of more accuracy, less process, less time, and less energy in three layers: thinking, remembering, and executing. THEORETICAL: Reduce task fragmentation time by 44% 3× project completion efficiency Cognitive switching cost reduction 30% ~ 70% USE CASES Managing complex projects with structured cognitive frameworks. Organizing personal and professional life goals systematically. Externalizing memory and intention for improved decision-making. Structuring thought processes to combat information overload. Enhancing productivity for knowledge workers through digital cognition tools. HELPFUL FOR PEOPLE IN THE FOLLOWING PROFESSIONS: Project Manager Executive Researcher Entrepreneur Consultant Academic Product Manager Knowledge Worker: teachers and students, creators, artists, writers, freelancers, and so on. WHY YOU NEED ReNext: 1) Designed for One-Handed Mastery ReNext starts with one-handed use. Interaction zones are placed in the most natural thumb-reachable areas, eliminating unnecessary hand switching, mental friction, and interruption. Stay in flow—anytime, anywhere, with one thumb. 2) A Philosophical Cognitive Framework ReNext extends the classical question: Where I come from, who I am, where I am going. Your brain remembers experiences better than plans. ReNext evokes memory through structure, helping you reconnect past actions, present identity, and future goals. 3) Project Groups, Not Fragmented Tasks Traditional to-do apps fragment thinking. ReNext uses to-do groups as the atomic unit, keeping projects coherent across all pages—no chaos, even with identical task names, even after years. Think in projects, not fragments. 4) Natural Thumb-Centered Interaction Every gesture follows your thumb’s natural movement trajectory. Swipe, drag, long-press, and universal back gestures are optimized for comfort, speed, and joy. Productivity should feel intuitive, not exhausting. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Love and Nature. Minimalist. Human-Centered. Balance & Humanity: Tools should match human instincts—not force humans to adapt to tools. Optimal Visual Effect Ratio: Maximum clarity with minimal visual noise. Nature Is Simplest: Color and space replace heavy frames and lines, inviting exploration and discovery. Broke the top-down framework to make ReNext accessible for all hand sizes—children and adults alike. KEY FEATURES: • Ultimate simplicity driven by text, color, and space • Bottom-up UI built for one-handed • Gesture-driven interface: tap, double-tap, drag, swipe, long-press, long press and drag upper right or upper left / bottom right or bottom left, universal back • A Brand-New Workflow Designed based on one goal/dream • A consistent and seamless cognitive experience that minimizes interruptions in thought • Smart to-do types: Maps, Repeat, Apps, People • Add, edit, and delete to-do groups • To-do countdown visual effect on the Home page • To-do group project progress bar on the Add & Edit page • Entire project management on one page • Global search • Share with other iPhone • iCloud sync • Your data is yours • No ads Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula
