Too many choices? Know what needs doing but can’t quite begin? OneToday picks one task from your list and helps you find a smaller first move. Keep the rest out of view and count the progress you make. Getting started is hard. Switching can be, too. HELP ME START Use your selected task or enter any activity without making a list. Find a concrete first move, prepare what you need, or try a small part with permission to stop. If you’re still stuck, try a different approach. HELP ME SWITCH Leave a “When I return…” note before moving on. Save where you left off, then find a first move toward your next activity. Reopen your note from Saved places when you’re ready to return. CHOOSE YOUR NUDGE Try a gentle cue or an optional 30-second challenge to begin. Turn the countdown off whenever you like. OneToday remembers your choice and asks whether you got started. Starting never marks the whole task done. QUICK ACCESS Open Help me start or Help me switch through Siri or Shortcuts. Add either action to a Shortcuts widget for quick access. You can use these flows without setting up a task list. ADHD-FRIENDLY BY DESIGN One task in view, smaller first moves, return notes, and a choice of cues offer practical support for moments of choice overload and task inertia. Use what helps you and change what doesn’t. MAKE ROOM FOR PROGRESS Add your own tasks or edit a Starter Idea. Eligible urgent tasks are prioritized when you ask OneToday to pick, and future tasks wait until their start dates. Completed tasks and First Moves grow your pressure-free Momentum line. Your return notes, cue preference, and starting feedback stay on this device. Saved places remain until you delete them.

What to
Read full descriptionHide full description
Not another list. The thing that picks. You have forty things and no idea which one to do right now. What to: Do asks two questions — how long you've got, how much you've got in you — and answers with one task. Not five options. Five options is the list again. WHAT IT DOES • One answer, every time. One task, the reason it won, and the opening move so you don't stall on "where do I even start". • It shows its working. Every pick argues its case: what's urgent, what's quick, what you've been avoiding, what you actually have energy for. • Only ever what you wrote. It never invents a task. Everything it offers came from you — typed, dictated, brain-dumped, or read in from Reminders. • One sentence in, we read the rest. Capture is one field. It infers how long a task takes and what kind of thing it is from the words you used. • Nine in the morning, the task itself. Not a badge count — the actual thing worth starting, on your lock screen. • Passed on it four times? One question, and either answer ends it. Lists rot; this one gets swept. • How often the pick was right. The only score that matters, and the only one it keeps. BUILT TO BE LEFT, NOT LIVED IN Two taps and you're gone. There is no inbox to process, no projects to maintain, no system to keep up with. Bring your list from Reminders and keep using whatever you already use to capture — this is the layer that decides. FOR THE DAYS DECIDING IS THE HARD PART If executive function is the bottleneck — ADHD, burnout, or just a bad Tuesday — the work isn't writing things down. It's choosing. This does the choosing. WHATTO PLUS One subscription across What to: Do and What to: Wear. Unlimited tasks and connected lists. The app works without it.
