It's all in the title. Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks on your to-do list? Adding all your tasks only to be faced with a seemingly endless list can make it hard to get anything done. That's why I created Underload, a to-do list app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that only shows you one task at a time. You can add all your tasks, but you'll only see the next one you need to tackle. You get a clear, linear path forward, a singular focus. Best part is, it two-way syncs with Apple Reminders, so your tasks sync across all your devices and you can keep using Siri, HomePod, Shortcuts, and whatever other integrations you're used to to manage tasks.

For the moments when products, prototypes, side projects, and late-night ideas are all alive at once. Phaseboard is a quiet, beautiful place to keep them, with each one's current stage, progress, and the one thing to do next. Every project breaks down the same way. From outermost to innermost: project, stage, task, subtask. Statuses roll up automatically as you check things off, so the dashboard always shows which projects deserve your time today. Phaseboard is built natively for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your projects sync privately through your own iCloud, with full offline support. Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen views, and a Mac menu bar tile keep what you're working on always in sight. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
