StarTask is not a traditional to-do list. Itβs a focus system designed to help you identify what truly matters and ignore everything that doesnβt. Instead of overwhelming you with endless tasks, StarTask helps you define your Star Tasks: the small number of high-impact actions that actually move you toward your goals. How it works: β’ North Star β Define a clear direction for what youβre working toward β’ Monthly Milestones β Break that direction into meaningful outcomes β’ Weekly Sprints β Decide what truly deserves your focus this week β’ Star Tasks β Identify the most important tasks that matter right now β’ Saved Star Tasks β Revisit and reload your key priorities over time StarTask is built to prevent βbusy workβ and task overload. It encourages intentional focus, clarity, and progress without the pressure of traditional task managers. If you want less noise, more direction, and better results, StarTask helps you stay aligned with what actually matters.

Kumo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kumo is an accountability app for people who set goals and then quietly let them slide. Instead of waiting for you to open an app, Kumo texts you first. You tell it what you are working on and when you usually lose focus, and it checks in at those exact moments to get you moving. When it is time to lock in, you tell Kumo what you are working on and it blocks the apps that distract you until that task is done. To unlock them you send a photo as proof, so it is not just your word. With Kumo, you can: β’ get messages at the times you are most likely to bail β’ set a clear task for every focus session β’ block the apps you choose while you work β’ send a photo as proof that the task is actually done β’ take short breaks that end on their own β’ build a streak by showing up day after day β’ see your goal, streak and schedule in one place Kumo uses Apple Screen Time to block only the apps you pick yourself. Your app choices stay on your device. Kumo is an AI, not a person, and it is upfront about that. The conversation happens in Messages, so there is no new app to live in. The Kumo app is a companion to the Kumo text service.
