You don't need another to-do list. You need someone to tell you what to do right now. Every productivity app eventually becomes the same thing: a long list you scroll, feel guilty about, and close. The problem was never the list — deciding what to do is the hardest part, and lists make YOU do the deciding at the worst possible moment. RightNow flips it. Tell it how much time you have — 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes — and it hands you exactly one card. Do it, or skip it. That's the whole app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your habits and tasks as cards 2. Pick the time you actually have 3. Get one card — the right one for right now 4. Tap Done. Feel it. Repeat. No browsing. No ranking. No scroll of shame. YOUR DAY HAS A SHAPE • Morning Brief — your first open of the day shows yesterday in one line, names today's focus, and gives you one button to start it • The loop — pick a time, get a card, all day long • Wrap Day — close the evening with your day's story: what you did, your 7-day trail, and one piece of coaching for tomorrow SMART ABOUT TIME • Morning cards deal in the morning, evening cards wait for evening • A 5-minute window gets a real 5-minute card — never a 2-hour project in disguise • Skipped something? It cycles back fairly. Hid it for today? It stays gone until tomorrow. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Starter Routines — five curated packs (Fitness, Sleep, Parenting, Personal Growth, Beauty) so you're never staring at a blank app • Routines — run your own ordered sequences, card by card • Someday — park ideas you're not ready for; they never nag and never get lost • History — completed tasks are kept, and restorable YOURS, PRIVATELY Everything lives on your phone. No account, no cloud, no feed, no ads. Your data never leaves your device. Try RightNow free for 7 days. If it earns its place, one purchase unlocks it forever — no subscription, ever. Stop managing your list. Start doing what's on it.
