Choose five meaningful priorities. Protect your focus. Finish the day with a rhythm you can trust. V Actions is a focused daily planner built around a simple promise: one Must Win and four supporting actions. Instead of collecting an endless task list, choose what matters today and keep it visible until the day is done. YOUR DAILY FIVE • Choose one Must Win and four supporting actions • See progress at a glance throughout the day • Plan tomorrow at the time that fits your routine • Use widgets and Live Activities to keep the day visible • Review recent days and your Current Streak in Journey PROTECT YOUR ATTENTION Optional Focus Protection uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks to shield the distracting apps and websites you choose. V Actions never silently selects activities for you. Finish your first action to move forward, or use a private 15-minute Focus Skip when life needs flexibility. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE A one-day Sick Pause is included. V Actions Pro adds planned vacations, recurring rest days, extended recovery, private rhythm insights, five V Coins with each paid month, and early access to upcoming AI features as they become available. Pause Modes preserve your Current Streak without pretending a paused day was completed. FREE DAILY FIVE Creating and completing five actions, planning tomorrow, reminders, widgets, Focus Protection, readable history, and private iCloud sync remain free. V Actions Pro supports continuity; it does not lock away the core Daily Five. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your Daily Five works offline.
