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.

BlockDay

Plan tomorrow in blocks tonight, then live it. BlockDay turns a pile of to-dos into a real schedule. You lay blocks on a paper-style day canvas, drag them to size, and give each one a start time, an end time, and a category. Then you live the day one focus block at a time and see how close you stayed to the plan. What you can do: - Build a day on a paper-style canvas. Drag a block to move it, drag the handle to resize it. Blocks snap to five minutes. - Fill a day in seconds from a built-in template library: deep work, admin, breaks, meetings, health, learning, personal, and errands. - Run the nightly planning ritual. Name one intention, pick a day shape, and set a reminder to plan tomorrow while today is fresh. - Start a focus block timer, count it down, and mark the block done. - Review plan vs actual. Mark each block done, partly, or skipped for a kept-time score, per block and per category. - See where the day goes with category time totals on every screen. - Read weekly patterns: planned hours by day and your category mix for the week. - Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. Free and Pro: - Free covers up to seven planned days, the day canvas, the template library, the focus timer, plan vs actual review, and this week's insights. - Pro unlocks unlimited days and your full history, weekly trend charts for hours and follow-through, saving your own custom blocks, and exporting a day plan PDF or a CSV of every block. Private by design. No account of ours and no tracking. Your plans live on your device and in your private iCloud. Subscription details. BlockDay Pro is offered as a monthly subscription at $3.99 USD and a yearly subscription at $24.99 USD, or a one-time Lifetime unlock at $59.99 USD. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
