Planning your whole day shouldn't be another task. No timeline to fill. No hour-by-hour schedule to keep up with. Three Today turns everything on your mind into the three things that matter today, then helps you start with a focus timer that lives on the task. Type or speak what you need to do. Turn that crowded list into a clear daily plan, with one next task in front of you. Save the rest for later, without building an overdue pile. A TIMER THAT LIVES ON YOUR TASK • Tap a task to start 5, 10 or 20 minutes, or pick your own time. • Not sure where to start? A 5-minute starter gets you going. • See it on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and pause without opening the app. • When time's up: 5 more minutes, take a break, or mark it done. • Start your next task from the widget or with Siri. A CALMER WAY TO PLAN YOUR DAY • Choose up to three priorities for today. • Focus on the next task instead of the whole list. • A short coach's note with a tiny first step for your next task. • Bring unfinished tasks into a new day only when they still matter. • See the days you showed up, and reflect on how the day went. • Keep your three close with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. ROUTINES, WITHOUT THE PRESSURE • Make routines for the things you do on repeat: every day, weekdays, or the days you pick. • On their days they wait on Today, one tap to add. You still choose your three. • Miss one? Nothing turns red. It's back on its next day. YOUR DAILY THREE STAY FREE You can plan and complete your three tasks without subscribing. Try AI brain dump sorting three times for free. MORE HELP WITH THREE TODAY PLUS Plus can sort a brain dump, break a difficult task into smaller steps, suggest ideas for a goal, draft tomorrow's three, help you plan around your Calendar and Reminders, and keep unlimited routines (two are free). • Monthly and yearly plans include a free trial for eligible new subscribers. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase (or when the trial ends). • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Private by design: your tasks are stored on your device, with no account and no ads. When you use an AI feature, only the text needed for that request is sent, and our server doesn't store it.
