Welcome to Star Tasks – a gamified approach for you to stop procrastinating and complete planned tasks and chores. Make your brain *want* to accomplish todos the way best games make you want to play them – by leveraging interactions that release dopamine and make your conscious fancy being productive. You finish a task – you get a star! As simple as that. Star Tasks is a polished little app that feels at home on your device with familiar features like Widgets, Live Activities, App Intents, Alternative Icons and more. It doesn’t require you to log in or be connected to the internet, doesn’t have ads and doesn’t sell any data of yours. One of the things you won’t find anywhere else is a mechanic called Achievements. Star Tasks offers a great amount of features which aren’t available when you download the app. You first need to actually “achieve” them by collecting certain amount of stars, setting goals certain amount of days etc. So the more productive you are, the more features are available to you. This is yet another step Star Tasks takes to help you gamify the daily routines and make it enjoyable to being effective. Achievements and corresponding features are activated for Gold members but if you don’t feel like subscribing to Gold, that’s ok, all the progress will be saved behind the scenes and when you’re ready, those features will be waiting for you Terms and Conditions (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ADHD makes long, 25-minute focus sessions feel impossible — you stall before you even start. HyperFlo flips that. It uses short 15-minute sessions designed for how ADHD brains actually work: low friction to begin, satisfying rewards when you finish, and nothing on screen to pull you away. Start in one tap. No setup, no accounts, no guilt. WHY HYPERFLO WORKS FOR ADHD BRAINS • Short by default — 15 minutes is long enough to get something done and short enough to actually start. • One thing at a time — during a session the whole screen becomes the timer. No menus, no notifications, no distractions. • Dopamine rewards — every completed session ends with a satisfying haptic and a quick reward animation, plus a streak you'll want to keep alive. • Gentle nudges — subtle haptic taps mark your progress so you stay aware of time without breaking flow. • Zero friction — tap anywhere to pause, tap to resume. That's the whole interface. BUILT THE RIGHT WAY • No login and no account required. • Works completely offline. • No ads, ever. • Privacy-first: your sessions stay on your device. We don't collect personal data. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Upgrade to HyperFlo Premium for unlimited daily sessions, ambient focus sounds (brown noise, white noise, rain), advanced statistics, and a Lock Screen timer. Available as a monthly, annual, or one-time lifetime purchase. The free version gives you everything you need to build the habit. Whether you're studying, working, or just trying to start the one task you've been avoiding all day, HyperFlo helps you begin — and finish. Focus for 15 minutes. That's it.
