Three is the focus app for people who feel buried by their to-do list. Instead of an endless backlog, Three shows you only three tasks at a time. Finish one and the next slides in. That's it. Less deciding, more doing. WHY THREE - Only three tasks in view — beat overwhelm and actually start. - Automatic time estimates on every task, so you know what you're committing to. - A built-in focus timer with a full-screen, distraction-free mode. - Gentle streaks and a Progress screen that celebrates consistency, not busywork. BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING - Break a big task into a checklist — each step you check off counts toward your streak, so multi-day work keeps your momentum alive. - Confetti when you finish. Small wins, celebrated. - Organize with lightweight projects and colors, or hide them for a zero-noise view. CALM BY DESIGN - Local-first and fully offline — your tasks live on your device and open instantly. - Optional sign-in to sync across your devices. No account required to use everything. - No ads. No trackers. No clutter. Do less. Finish more. Start with Three.
