Stuck staring at your to-do list? You're not lazy. You just need a better way to start. Unstuck breaks overwhelming tasks into small, timed chunks you can actually do. Type what's weighing on you, and get back a clear first step in seconds. THE PROBLEM WITH MOST PRODUCTIVITY APPS They give you more boxes to check. More systems to maintain. More ways to feel behind. Unstuck is different. It's not a to-do list. It's an activation tool. You come when you're stuck, you leave when you're moving. HOW IT WORKS 1. Type any task that feels too big to start 2. Get 3-6 small, actionable chunks with time estimates 3. Start with just the first one That's it. No complex setup. No learning curve. No guilt. BUILT FOR BRAINS THAT WORK DIFFERENTLY We designed Unstuck for people who struggle with task initiation, not task completion. Whether you have ADHD, anxiety, or just too much on your plate, Unstuck helps you take the first step. No streaks to break. No guilt trips. No "you missed 5 days!" notifications. EARLY ACCESS Unstuck is free during early access. Help us build the tool you actually need.

KanToDo turns your to-do list into a game you actually want to play. Every task you finish earns XP and coins, extends your streak, levels up your profile and unlocks achievements. Instead of a list that only ever grows, you get visible progress — and a reason to come back tomorrow. A BOARD THAT ADAPTS TO YOUR DAY Three views on the same tasks, one tap apart: • Classic Kanban — To-do, In Progress, Done, with drag & drop between columns • Today Focus — due today, overdue and up next, so you always know where to start • Eisenhower Matrix — sorted by importance and urgency for days when everything feels urgent TASKS WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED • Notes, categories, priorities and due dates • Subtasks you can add, check off and delete • Recurring tasks (daily, weekly, monthly) that automatically create the next one when you complete them • Custom XP and coin rewards per task • An archive for finished work, so your board stays clean PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE • XP bar, levels and rank titles that grow with you • Daily streaks — including your all-time longest streak • Achievements for milestones like your first quest, a 7-day streak or 1,000 XP • Weekly quests that track what you actually completed this week • Weekly review with a bar per weekday, category breakdown and highlights HABITS, NOT JUST TASKS Build routines next to your to-dos. Habits can be completed once a day, keep their own streak and pay out XP and coins just like tasks. Create, edit and delete them however your week works. A REWARD SHOP FOR REAL LIFE Spend the coins you earn on rewards you define yourself — a coffee break, a movie night, a new notebook, whatever motivates you. Not your thing? Hide the shop in Settings and keep the rest. MAKE IT YOURS • Light, dark or system theme • Accent colors that recolor the whole app — with matching alternate app icons • Avatars that evolve with your level, or use your own photo • Your own categories with names, symbols and colors • Optional confetti and level-up moments — turn them off if you prefer calm • Optional daily streak reminder so a good run doesn't end by accident YOUR DATA, ON EVERY DEVICE Switch on iCloud sync and your tasks, habits, rewards and progress stay in step across iPhone, iPad and Mac — through your own private iCloud account. No sign-up, no extra account, no server of ours in between. Prefer to keep everything on one device? Leave sync off; KanToDo works fully offline either way. BUILT FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Native SwiftUI throughout: a tab layout on iPhone, a sidebar split view on iPad and Mac, haptics where they help and nowhere they don't. STARTS WITH SOMETHING TO DO A short setup asks for your name and the categories you care about, then sets up a board with example quests, habits and rewards. Reset everything with one tap once you're ready for your own. KanToDo is free and supported by ads. A single one-time purchase removes them for good — no subscription, ever. Create your first quest, finish it, and watch the XP roll in.
