DoneLayer turns articles you read into actions you actually take. Paste any article URL and AI suggests exactly 3 tasks you can act on this week — not summaries, but specific actions with source citations and difficulty ratings. You choose which one to commit to, then long-press to make it official. HOW IT WORKS 1. PASTE — Share any article link or type a URL. AI reads the content instantly. 2. SUGGEST — Get 3 precise, actionable tasks for this week. Each comes with a quote from the article and a difficulty level (quick / 1 week / long-term). 3. COMMIT — Long-press 400ms to commit. The extra step is intentional: it makes your decision feel real. 4. ACT — Move tasks from TODO → DOING → DONE in a simple kanban. 5. LOG — See 12 weeks of completed actions stacked in a bar graph. Track your Action Rate: how many of your commitments you actually carried out. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO READ A LOT AND ACT TOO LITTLE Engineers, indie developers, and lifelong learners often bookmark dozens of articles but rarely act on them. DoneLayer adds one intentional friction point — the commit — to break that cycle.
