Doit は「ひとつのタスクに集中する」ためのアプリです。 あらゆるタスクは、「始められないこと」こそが最大の障壁。始めさえすれば、終えられるかどうかは重要ではありません。 Doit では、マルチタスクを避けるために「今やるべきタスクをひとつだけ」登録します。あとはアプリが、あなたをそっと導きます。 たとえば「勉強する」というタスクを登録したら、こんなステップが表示されるかもしれません: ・足の指をモゾモゾさせて ・昨日の晩ごはんを思い出して ・机の角を触る 一見すると意味のない行動に見えても、それらはすべて「始める」ための準備です。身体や感覚をゆっくりと切り替え、やるべきことへ自然に向かわせてくれます。 脇道に逸れず、ひとつずつ。 本当に向き合いたいことだけに集中できるように設計されたアプリです。

【About Just Start】 We believe that "Starting" is the greatest action of all. Just Start is not just a timer; it’s your launchpad to beat procrastination. We stripped away the clutter so you can do one thing the moment you open the app: Act Now. 【Why Just Start?】 1. A Companion from the Stars: Laika Remember Laika, the first dog in space? She didn't disappear; she traveled to your phone. When you focus, Laika waits by your side on the screen. Whether you're studying late or working early, she is there. It’s not just a timer; it’s a warm, silent guardianship. 2. Pro Features Unlocked (Yes, Free) We believe your growth data belongs to you. No paywalls for self-reflection. 3. Unlimited Categories: Coding, Reading, Meditation—create as many tags as you need. Free. 4. Full History Stats: Your every minute counts. Access all history records, duration stats, and trend charts without paying a cent. Visualize your achievements. 5. Starlight Mode: A Connection Across Time Focusing can feel lonely, but not here. When you start the timer, you will see the glimmering starlight left by others who have traveled this path before you. Just like looking at the night sky, these lights are echoes of past efforts from people around the world. It’s a subtle "cloud companionship" that tells you: someone else has worked hard right here, just like you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Just Start at Free against Doit's $0.49. Just Start also leads on iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.2). Doit's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
