You know what you need to do, and you keep not doing it. Startr treats that as waiting, not as laziness. It gives you one small step you can finish in two minutes, so the work actually begins. HOW A DAY WORKS 1. Pick the one thing you keep putting off. 2. Startr writes a tiny first step for it with AI. You choose a time and a place. 3. At that time you get a notification with the step. Tap Start, watch the 3-2-1 countdown and work for five minutes. 4. At night you answer a few quick questions about how it went. On Sunday there is a short reset for the week. IF YOU ARE AVOIDING IT RIGHT NOW Tap "I'm avoiding it". Startr asks four short questions to find what is in the way, then gives you a step that fits. WHAT YOU GET • One thing at a time, with no task lists to manage. • A first step written for your task and sized to take two minutes. • A five-minute timer with a 3-2-1 start. • Reminders that carry the step and a Start 5 min button. • A count of the days you started, and how many minutes pass between your planned time and your real start. • A forgiving streak: a missed day dims the count and never sets it back to zero. • A two-minute lesson each day about why people put things off. • A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget, and an Apple Watch app with today's step and the timer. • No account to create. You can begin right away and sign in with Apple later if you want your data on another device. STARTR PRO Startr needs a subscription to use.
