Three things. Every day. That's it. Task, calendar and Habits 3Things is the productivity app for people who are tired of bottomless task lists. Instead of capturing 47 todos you'll never finish, you commit to three — the ones that actually move your day forward. Around that core, 3Things gives you a calendar that thinks with you, habits that compound quietly in the background, and energy-aware scheduling that respects how you actually work. Built natively for Apple Intelligence and the new Liquid Glass design. Private by default. Synced everywhere via iCloud. YOUR DAY, IN THREE • Capture tasks in seconds with priorities (Must / Should / Could) • Project folders, sub-tasks, dependencies, energy tags • Drag a task to your calendar to schedule it • Focus sessions with end-of-timer notifications • Smart reminders that learn when you open the app • Find-similar AI suggestions for recurring work HABITS THAT COMPOUND • Daily, weekly, monthly, every-N-days, or specific weekdays • Streaks with grace days so a single miss doesn't reset you • Habit stacking nudges anchored to existing routines • Time-of-day buckets — morning, afternoon, evening • Apple Watch complications and Live Activities A CALENDAR THAT THINKS WITH YOU • Full EventKit sync — your existing calendar, no migration • Events with icon, color tag, conference URL, linked task • Reminders 5 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes or 1 day ahead • Travel time + buffer slots that block your calendar so conflicts get caught • Recurring events (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly) • "Leave now" travel alerts powered by MapKit • Conflict detection: low-energy meetings, meeting fatigue, double-booking ENERGY-AWARE PLANNING • HealthKit integration: sleep, steps, HRV • Daily energy score and trend • Schedule high-energy work when your body is actually ready • Self-report energy when health data isn't enough • Evening reflection prompt for the next morning's plan EVERY APPLE DEVICE, IN SYNC • iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, Apple TV • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Live Activities for focus sessions and habit streaks • App Intents, Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Apple Intelligence • Share Sheet for capturing tasks from any app • Hand-off across devices PRIVATE BY DESIGN • On-device AI via Apple Foundation Models — your insights never leave your devices • Sync via your private iCloud account • No accounts.
