Unheld is a quiet space for focus. Most focus apps make you watch the clock. Unheld does the opposite. Start a session, put your phone down, and focus without thinking about time. There are no ticking countdowns, no pressure, and no productivity scores. Time is held quietly in the background so you can stay present with your work. Unheld is designed for people who want calm focus instead of urgency β students, creatives, professionals, and anyone who finds traditional timers stressful. Features β’ One-tap focus sessions β’ No countdown by default β’ Gentle end reminders (optional) β’ Session history for reflection, not tracking β’ Apple Watch support β’ Local-only storage β your data stays on your device Premium (One-time purchase) Unlock session history, weekly summaries, and optional tags with a single purchase. No subscriptions. Designed for calm Unheld is not a Pomodoro timer and not a productivity system. Itβs a quiet container for focus β so you can stop thinking about time and simply work.

Your brain hates long lists. We know. Threely only lets you pick 3 tasks for today. No projects, no tags, no subtasks. Just three things. WHY ONLY THREE? ADHD brains freeze when they see 47 tasks. Decision paralysis kicks in. You close the app. You feel bad. Threely removes the choice. Pick three. Do one. Celebrate. Threely is the calm ADHD planner built for brains that get overwhelmed by every other to-do list app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Dump everything on your mind into the Brain Dump 2. Each morning, pick your 3 most important tasks 3. Tap your first task to enter Focus Mode 4. When you finish, Threely celebrates with you WHAT YOU GET - Brain Dump: capture every thought without organizing it - Focus Mode: one task, one timer, ambient sounds to lock in - Rule of Three: only 3 tasks for today, finish one to add more - Celebrations: fullscreen confetti every time you complete a task - Weekly Review: see your progress in a simple chart - Daily Reset: incomplete tasks move back overnight, fresh start every morning.
