Read full description

One Thing Next is a calm focus app for moments when starting feels impossible. Instead of staring at a long, overwhelming list, add your things to a simple stack and let the app show you what’s next. One clear step. One thing at a time. It’s designed for overloaded days, busy brains, ADHD-style overwhelm, or those moments when you know there’s plenty to do but can’t work out where to begin. With One Thing Next, you can: • Add things you want to get done • Focus on one clear next step • Reorder your stack when priorities change • Start without seeing everything at once • Mark things as done and build momentum • Take a break when you need to pause One Thing Next is not about doing more. It’s about making it easier to start. When everything feels too much, just begin with the next thing.

Done is for the part of your brain that keeps moving the finish line. Most productivity apps help you start. Done helps you finish. Before you begin, define exactly what “done” means with clear, checkable criteria. During your work session, stay focused on one task. When you stop, close the loop with a wrap-up note that captures: - what is true now - the next concrete action - what can safely wait Done is built for ADHD and AuDHD brains, and useful for anyone who wants cleaner stopping points, lower task-switching stress, and better restarts. ### What you get - One-task-at-a-time sessions - Define-done checklist before work starts - Wrap-up ritual to reduce mental carryover - Reusable templates for common task closures - Session history for quick context recovery ### Done+ (one-time unlock) - AI-assisted done criteria (on supported devices) - AI-assisted wrap-up note suggestions - Expanded formatting and unlimited history No subscriptions. No account required. No tracking. Your session data stays on your device.
