Your todo list has 23 things on it. You can't start any of them. Open Driftless. Tap once. Get one tiny action - picked for you. Do it. That's the whole app. No accounts. No cloud. No 47-step morning routine. No streak shaming. Just a tiny nudge that breaks the freeze. HOW IT WORKS → Pick a mode (Reset, Work, Chaos, or your own) → Tap "Give me momentum" → Get one tiny action → Done. Pick another, or close the app. BUILT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER • Sat in front of a laptop for 40 minutes without opening anything • Felt their brain shut down at the size of the task • Defended a 200-day streak past the point of usefulness • Said "just five more minutes" and stayed for an hour • Wanted to do the thing but couldn't start the thing Driftless is for ADHD brains, anxious overthinkers, burned-out workers, and anyone who has ever stared at a todo list and chosen the couch. WHAT'S INSIDE • Four starter modes - Reset (wind down), Work (focus), Chaos (move your body), Custom (yours) • 35+ tiny actions ready to roll • Add your own actions. Build your own modes. • A Home Screen widget - your next step, no unlock needed • Momentum stats: streak, weekly chart, 4-week heatmap • Light and dark mode, haptics, one-handed by design • 100% local. No account. No tracking. No sync. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most productivity apps want you to set up. Plan. Configure. Categorize. Driftless wants you to open, tap, and do. You're not building a system - you're just getting moving. You don't need another todo list. You need one tap that gets you off the couch. PRIVACY Your data lives on your phone.
