Procrastination is not laziness, it is a protective mechanism. Unblocked is a simple app designed to help you overcome task paralysis. We break large tasks into micro-steps and guide you through the first minutes of action. We all know the feeling: you know exactly what needs to be done, but you find yourself scrolling the internet instead. Task paralysis, perfectionism, and overthinking can block anyone. Unblocked is not another complicated time management system or a guilt-inducing to-do list. It is an emergency tool focused on one thing: taking the first step. How does it work? -You add a task you have been putting off. -The app helps you break it down into simple, 2 to 5-minute micro-steps. -You start a 10-minute timer. -You complete the task step by step, checking them off the list. -After 10 minutes, you celebrate your success and decide: take a break or keep going. What you will find in the app: -Start Mode: guided focus for the first 10 minutes of work. -Micro-steps: turn overwhelming projects into ridiculously easy actions. -Streak tracking: monitor your days without procrastination and build momentum. -Statistics: check your progress and analyze your best working hours. -Simplicity: a clean interface that does not distract or overwhelm you. The basic version allows you to test the method with a limited number of daily tasks and steps. You can remove these limits by upgrading to the Pro version, which unlocks unlimited tasks, full history, advanced statistics, smart breakdown suggestions, dark mode, and cloud sync across devices.

Beginary helps adults with ADHD do the hardest part of any task: starting. You already know what you need to do. The gap is in beginning, and that gap isn't about discipline. It's how the ADHD brain handles initiation, working memory, time blindness, and the small spike of resistance that builds every time you look at the thing you've been meaning to start. Beginary is built for that exact moment. HOW IT WORKS Just Start. The core screen drops the cost of beginning to almost nothing. No picker, no setup. You tap, and you go. Mood check. Before you start, Beginary asks how thinking about the task feels: Fine, Wired, Heavy, or Stuck. There's no right answer. Your mood shapes what happens next: a Heavy afternoon and a Wired one don't get the same screen. Warm-Up. When starting cold feels like too much, a short warm-up gives you an on-ramp instead of a cliff. AI Breakdown. When a task is too big to see the start of, Beginary breaks it into small, doable pieces. Gentle nudges, firm when it matters. Reminders are soft by default: a quiet heads-up, never a guilt trip. For the tasks that truly need to break through, you can opt specific ones into a firm alarm. You decide which tasks earn that. Today's Wins. Beginary frames what you started and showed up for, not what you didn't get to. No streaks to break. No red overdue. No "you missed it." BUILT FOR HOW ADHD ACTUALLY WORKS - No streaks, no badges, no leaderboards. Beginary never punishes you for an off day. - No shame language. The app stays calm, even when you don't. - Motion-sensitive by design. Reduced-motion settings are fully respected. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL Privacy is built into the structure, not bolted on. Your task names and mood check-ins are yours. Beginary uses AI to help break tasks down, which sends the task title to Anthropic for that purpose only. Nothing else, and you can turn it off. Analytics are anonymous. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. ON APPLE WATCH Today's list, the mood check, and a one-tap start on your wrist. The Watch app works alongside your iPhone. TRY IT FREE Beginary is free for 14 days, full access, no card required. After that, Pro is $8.99/month or $79/year for unlimited tasks, unlimited AI breakdowns, and your pattern history.
