BIG GOALS. SMALL STEPS. HELPUN β€” 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 β€” one action. Maximum concentration. KEY FEATURES Lock Screen Widget The current step from your todo list is always visible. Unlock your phone β€” 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 β€” 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" β€” 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" β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” step-by-step recipes with timing. Hands-free navigation works while your hands are busy with dough or a frying pan. Workouts β€” home fitness, yoga, CrossFit. Warm-up, exercise blocks with repetitions, cool-down. The todo planner automatically counts the rounds. Work and Study β€” preparation of presentations, writing texts, research. From data collection to final proofreading. Time management and concentration at every stage. Daily Routines β€” morning and evening rituals. Save a template in the organizer, use it every day. One tap β€” 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 β€” no personal information. START RIGHT NOW Download HELPUN β€” the next-generation task planner. Enter the first task into your todo list. Take the first step. No motivational quotes, no gamification. Only function. Only results. Big goals. Small steps. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Unstuck is your calm personal assistant for brains that don't do boring. Your assistant helps you work out what matters today and what to do next. Capture stray thoughts before they derail you. Start the next right task with one tap β€” and actually finish it, with a focus timer that understands pauses, overruns, and "wait, what was I doing?". TODAY, NOT EVERYTHING One screen with what matters now: your next task, today's plan, and nothing else shouting at you. START, DON'T STALL Your assistant helps you choose the next right task and get started. A first-step prompt shrinks scary tasks into one concrete move. FOCUS THAT FORGIVES A timer built for real attention: pause with a reason, get a gentle check-in when you run over, and a "you did the thing" recap when you finish. CAPTURE EVERYTHING Thought pops up mid-focus? Park it in the Inbox with one line and stay on task. Triage later β€” promote it to a task, archive it, or let it go. REPEATS WITHOUT CLUTTER Recurring tasks show up on the day they're due β€” not as thirty copies in your list. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Insights show when you actually focus, what interrupts you, and how your estimates compare with reality. YOUR ASSISTANT KNOWS YOUR DAY Drag tasks into your day. Connect your calendar so your assistant can help you plan around what’s already happening. GET THINGS DONE TOGETHER Share tasks and lists with other people and let your assistant help keep things moving. TALK TO YOUR ASSISTANT Your personal assistant helps you plan, prioritise and decide what to do next by chat or voice. WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITIES Your next task on the Home Screen; your focus timer in the Dynamic Island. Your data syncs across your devices and the web at unstucknow.io.
