Stop managing your to-do list and start actually getting things done. Introducing ADH DO—without a doubt, the easiest and smartest way to manage your tasks. We built ADH DO from the ground up to capture your to-dos at the speed of thought. Gone are the days of spending more time organizing your schedule than executing it. ADH DO strips away the gimmicks and leaves you with exactly what you need: a powerful, AI-driven productivity tool that works for you, zero effort required. The Brain Dump Button At the center of your screen is a large orange button ready to capture your tasks without judgment. Just press, hold, and speak naturally: "I need to wash the car on Friday. Also, buy groceries today: milk, butter, and eggs. And by April 4th, I need to finish the report." Our intelligent AI automatically processes your voice, determines due dates from relative references, groups checklists, and sets up complex projects. It even estimates the time and effort required for each task! Hyper Focus Mode Ready to get started? Tap a task in your "Today’s Focus" list to enter Hyper Focus mode. Everything else fades away, allowing you to zero in on a singular goal. When you’re on a roll, stay in Hyper Focus—mark tasks as complete, or hit "Shuffle" to skip to the next one. AI Task Breakdown & Smart Organization Tasks are neatly organized into "Today's Focus" and your "Task Queue." Navigating them is incredibly satisfying: Swipe to Complete: A satisfying left swipe marks a task as done. Swipe to Defer: Not feeling it today? Swipe right to seamlessly bump it back to tomorrow's queue. One-Tap Breakdown: Overwhelmed by a big project? Tap the orange plus icon, and the AI will automatically break massive goals down into smaller, highly approachable sub-tasks. Energy & Habit Tracking ADH DO celebrates your successes and helps you understand your peak performance times. High energy in the mornings? A bit of a slump after lunch? "Smart Suggestions" will promote tasks when your energy levels are perfectly aligned with them. Intelligent Recurring Rules Set up recurring tasks simply by talking: "Wash the car every week starting this Sunday." Feeling less ambitious later? Easily edit it to every two weeks. ADH DO even detects your natural patterns—like going to the gym three times a week—and automatically creates smart, recurring reminders. Built-In Chatbot & Mindful Relaxation AI Chatbot: Need to find something quickly? Ask the blue chatbot! It has access to all your pending and completed tasks. Can't remember when you last walked the dogs? Just ask. Focused Relaxation: Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Tap the grey brain icon for a moment of peace. No high scores. No penalties. Just gently tilt your phone to roll a ball, creating beautiful, flowing patterns. Recenter, refocus, and get ready to start your next task. Easy. Smart. Magical. ADH DO. ADH Done. Download today and finally conquer your to-do list! Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
