Most of us don't struggle with knowing what to do. We struggle with starting — because the phone is always easier. Donera flips the order: finish today's one important thing first. Until then, your distracting apps stay locked. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick one Highlight — the single task that matters most today. 2. Choose the apps that steal your attention. Donera locks them. 3. Hold to finish. Your apps unlock, and the day is closed. WHY IT WORKS • One thing a day. Your home screen shows only this one — no lists, no counts, no overwhelm. • Blocking that holds you to your word. Built on Apple's Screen Time framework — no VPN, and nothing leaves your device. • Something urgent? Open it anytime. Take a 30 or 60 minute break, as many per day as you allow yourself — or unlock on purpose, with nothing recorded and no guilt trip. • Multi-day plans. Split a goal into days; each morning the next step becomes your Highlight. Or let an AI draft a plan for you and import it. • Ranks. Finished days add up — from Mortal to Eternal — and only ever go up; a missed day never drops you. Four built-in systems, or make your own. • Widget and Live Activity. Today's one thing, in sight on your Home and Lock Screen. DESIGNED FOR QUIET Warm paper, ink, and serif type. No tags, folders, or dashboards. No guilt. Your tasks stay on your device. Donera doesn't ask you to become disciplined. It simply helps you begin more easily — and finish with more care.

Queue Focus brings task planning and a focus timer into one simple flow: plan today, choose one task, focus, finish, and move forward. Instead of switching between a to-do app and a timer, build a clear Today queue and act on it. When a task is done, tap Done, Next and keep your momentum. Lists are more than categories—they can represent the context you want to focus on. Create a Grocery list for milk, bread, and eggs. Create a Travel list for clothes, a charger, a wallet, and your passport. Switch lists to bring your attention back to what you are doing now. PLAN TODAY • Build and reorder a focused Today queue; batch-select to move or delete • Start a focus session from a task; set any focus and break duration • Pause, take a break, finish, and move to what’s next • See upcoming dues on Today; undo a completed task shortly after • Get local notifications when focus or break time ends FOCUS ON THE CURRENT CONTEXT • Create colored lists for shopping, travel, work, or daily routines • Filter by list and see only what matters now • Add planned dates, deadlines, and Important flags • Browse the month in Calendar, jump to a day, and batch-reschedule BUILD YOUR FOCUS RHYTHM • A clean Pomodoro-style focus timer • Focus stats for week / month / year and about seven days of Focus History from Today • Control focus from Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities • Free Home Screen widgets for Today and interactive Focus • No extra account—tasks and sessions stay on your device; with Pro, sync across devices with Apple iCloud QUEUE FOCUS PRO • Unlimited custom lists • Unlimited recurring tasks • Unlimited focus goals on tasks • iCloud sync • Longer focus history • Edit and add focus history Core task management (including batch), Today focus at any duration, up to 3 custom lists, up to 3 recurring tasks, up to 3 tasks with focus goals, Home Screen widgets, Focus Stats (week / month / year), about seven days of Focus History, Calendar month view, and upcoming dues remain free.
