Maybe... Later

You know all those things you keep meaning to do? Learn to juggle. Reorganize the garage. Try that new coffee place across town. They float around in your head, taking up space, making you feel guilty for not doing them. Maybe... Later is where those tasks go to live โ€” until you're ready for them. Think of it as a box sitting in your kitchen. Drop in notes about things you'd like to do someday. When you find yourself with a free afternoon and a spark of motivation, reach in and pull one out. That's it. No due dates. No priority levels. No red badges screaming at you. HOW IT WORKS Add tasks whenever they pop into your head. Give them a name, a rough time estimate, and optionally a category โ€” that's all you need. When you're ready to do something, tap Pull a Task. Tell the app how much time you have, pick a category (or don't), and it'll find something that fits. The app is smart about matching. It considers: - How much time you actually have right now - What day it is and what time of day - Where you are (for location-based tasks) - Tasks you've recently dismissed You might get exactly what you expected, or something you completely forgot about. That's the fun part. DESIGNED FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN ACTUALLY WORKS Traditional task apps assume you'll dutifully review and prioritize lists. Maybe... Later assumes you won't โ€” and that's perfectly fine. - No overwhelming lists to scroll through - No guilt from overdue items (nothing is ever overdue) - Tasks come to you โ€” you don't have to hunt for them - Low friction to add, low friction to do - Dismiss a task with zero consequences โ€” it goes back in the box FEATURES - Pull tasks matched to your available time, category, and location - Set preferred days and times for tasks - Add locations with GPS radius so tasks surface when you're nearby - Recurring tasks with cooldown periods - "Put off for" delays so new tasks don't surface immediately - Rewards โ€” write yourself a little treat note for finishing - Works completely offline, all data stays on your device Maybe... Later won't fix your life. But it might help you finally do that thing you've been meaning to do.

About

Drift

Features
Read full description

Drift is a random timer for moments when fixed intervals make you watch the clock. Set a floor, target, and ceiling, then let Drift ring at gentle unpredictable times that still average near your target. Use Drift for trainer-bike position changes, standing desk resets, stretch breaks, focus sessions, hydration nudges, meditation bells, or any reminder that should feel helpful instead of rigid. Pick a preset, choose a sound, and start a session with one tap. Your presets, settings, generated sounds, and session summaries stay on your device. Drift is free with banner ads and occasional cooled-down interstitials; a one-time Remove Ads purchase removes all ads permanently. Optional custom sound credits let you generate short AI interval cues from prompts you type. Notifications are optional and only used for your active timer.
