Extreme Focus

Extreme Focus is the to-do list for people who are done playing with productivity apps and ready to actually ship. Voice dictation. Home-screen widgets. Hey Google shortcuts. Beautiful, fast, and free forever — no subscription, no ads, no "upgrade to unlock" nonsense. WHY EXTREME FOCUS Most todo apps want to be your second brain. This one wants you to finish today's list and close the app. It's built for people who value execution over organization — athletes, founders, students, makers, and anyone who wants to stop scheduling and start doing. KEY FEATURES • Voice dictation — tap the mic, speak your task, done. Works on-device. No servers. • Home-screen widget — top pending tasks, always visible. • Instant capture — one tap to add. No fields, no categories, no forced tags. • Clean, modern design — no dark patterns, no notifications manipulating you into opening the app. • Offline-first — your tasks live on your device. Sync is optional. • Fast — launches in under a second on every device we tested. WHO IT'S FOR • Founders and operators who need a single daily execution list • Students grinding on deadlines • Creators and athletes tracking training or build days • Anyone tired of Notion/Todoist creep PRIVACY We collect the minimum needed to run your account — your email and the tasks you create. Nothing is used for ads, ever. No tracking. No third-party sharing. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Built with obsessive attention to speed, taste, and the feeling you get when you close the app because you're actually done. SUPPORT Email us at natorenterprise@gmail.com. We read every message.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Extreme Focus at none against SimpleTime's 3. Extreme Focus also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). SimpleTime's advantage is device support. On price there is nothing between them.
