5min helps you finish the small things you keep putting off. Pick a tiny task from the suggestions ā something you could do in five minutes. Tap Go, and 5min hands you one card at a time. A short timer runs while you work. When you're done, swipe the next one. That's it. No projects, no priorities, no tags. Just small tasks and short focused sprints. ā THE 5-MINUTE LOOP ā ⢠Plan: Pick from the suggestions to build your list for today. Mute anything that isn't for now. ⢠Go: Tasks appear as a deck. Swipe left to skip, tap play to focus. ⢠Sprint: A 5-minute timer runs. Go over if you need to ā we'll stop you at +10 more. ⢠Track: Watch your work add up. No streaks to break, just a clean record. ā WHY 5 MINUTES ā Small windows make it easier to start. You don't need motivation to do a five-minute task. You just do it. Stack enough of them and the week looks different. ā LOCAL ONLY. PRIVATE BY DESIGN. ā Everything lives on your phone. No accounts. No syncing. No analytics. No ads. We don't collect anything, because there's nothing to collect. If you turn on location, it's used only on your device to pick suggestions ā it never leaves your phone. ā BUILT FOR ATTENTION, NOT TIME-TRACKING ā This isn't a Pomodoro tool. It's not a to-do list. It's a tiny ritual: pick a thing, do the thing, move on.
