Features
Read full description

one elsewhere is a quiet focus practice disguised as a space flight. Start a session, put your phone down, and stay away from the screen. While you don’t interact with your phone, the flight continues. When you return, the session ends. There’s nothing to manage, nothing to optimize, and nothing to check. Just uninterrupted time β€” and the habit of choosing focus. Why it works one elsewhere doesn’t try to make you productive. It removes interaction and replaces it with a single, simple rule: stay present. By repeating short sessions of uninterrupted time, you gradually build a real focus habit β€” one that transfers beyond the app. What you get β€’ One-tap start with a short countdown β€’ Time and virtual distance as a metaphor for progress β€’ Achievements that mark consistency and milestones β€’ Simple stats to reflect on your focus sessions β€’ Unlockable ships to personalize the experience β€’ A minimal, calm interface designed to fade into the background Use one elsewhere while working, studying, reading, writing, training β€” or anytime you want to be fully present without distractions. Put your phone down. Go elsewhere.

About

Do it Myshelf

Read full description

Do it Myshelf is a focused task manager built around a simple idea: you can only work on three things at a time. Your tasks live on a wooden shelf with exactly three slots. Everything else stays tucked away in a drawer below. When you finish a task, the next one moves up automatically. No endless lists. No overwhelm. Just three things, right in front of you. KEY FEATURES β€’ Shelf + Drawer system β€” Only your top 3 tasks are visible. The rest wait in the drawer until you're ready. β€’ Multiple projects β€” Swipe through up to 15 projects, each with its own shelf. Inactive projects fade so you stay focused on what matters now. β€’ Guided setup β€” A simple wizard walks you through creating a project: name it, list your tasks, then pick which 3 go on the shelf first. β€’ Quick editing β€” Long-press to rearrange, rename, or move tasks between shelf and drawer. Context menus keep everything one tap away. β€’ Archive & restore β€” Done with a project? Archive it. Changed your mind? Bring it back. β€’ Offline & private β€” Works without an account. Your data stays on your device with iCloud sync. Do it Myshelf doesn't try to be everything. It does one thing well: keeping you focused on what's next.
