BIG GOALS. SMALL STEPS. HELPUN — a task planner with AI micro-step breakdown. A smart todo list and organizer for those who procrastinate or suffer from overwhelm. If your brain stalls at large tasks, this is for you. HOW IT WORKS You write a task in your todo list: "Clean the apartment" or "Make dinner". The AI breaks it down into specific, timed steps. You only see the **ONE** current step on the screen. You do it. Swipe. Next. No 20-point lists, no multitasking. One moment — one action. Maximum concentration. KEY FEATURES Lock Screen Widget The current step from your todo list is always visible. Unlock your phone — you immediately see what to do. No distractions. Hands-free Mode Voice control without touching the screen. Hands are busy cooking, cleaning, or working out — say "next step", and the app switches. Works completely offline. AI Task Breakdown Artificial intelligence analyzes your task and creates a step-by-step plan. "Cleaning the kitchen" turns into 5 specific, timed actions. "Home workout" — into blocks of exercises with warm-up and cool-down. Don't like the plan? Edit it right in the app. Timers for Every Step Each step shows an approximate completion time. Built-in time management helps you plan your day and prevents you from getting stuck on one stage. Repetition Blocks For workouts and routines. "3 rounds: squats, push-ups, plank" — the todo planner automatically counts the repetitions. Full Editing The AI suggests a plan, and you adjust it to your needs. Delete, add, or change the order of steps in your task list. Ready-made Templates Quick start for typical tasks: cleaning, cooking, workouts. Select a template — start doing. Archive and Synchronization The history of completed tasks is motivating. iCloud sync across all your Apple devices. WHO THIS PLANNER IS FOR For people with ADHD. If large tasks cause task paralysis, and your brain buffers — micro-steps remove the barrier to entry. The todo list transforms from a source of stress into a clear plan. For procrastinators. When "starting" is harder than doing. HELPUN removes the overwhelm effect and only shows you the next small action from your todo. For those who suffer from executive dysfunction. Do you know WHAT to do but can't start? Breaking tasks down to the micro-level solves the problem. The organizer handles the planning for you. For everyone tired of overwhelm. Even if you have iron self-discipline, the app saves mental energy and enhances concentration. USE CASES House Cleaning — AI creates a room-by-room route with specific actions in the list. The Lock Screen reminds you of the current step while you clean. Cooking — step-by-step recipes with timing. Hands-free navigation works while your hands are busy with dough or a frying pan. Workouts — home fitness, yoga, CrossFit. Warm-up, exercise blocks with repetitions, cool-down. The todo planner automatically counts the rounds. Work and Study — preparation of presentations, writing texts, research. From data collection to final proofreading. Time management and concentration at every stage. Daily Routines — morning and evening rituals. Save a template in the organizer, use it every day. One tap — the plan is ready. PRIVACY AND SECURITY Data is stored in your iCloud, not on our servers. Voice control works locally on the device. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. The AI processes only task names to create plans — no personal information.
