First Step helps you start tasks you've been putting off by making them tiny. Tell the app what's on your mind, and AI breaks it into small, concrete steps you can actually do. No planning required. Just begin. BUILT FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS Big tasks feel impossible. First Step turns them into 2-3 minute actions so small they feel easy. "Clean my room" becomes "pick up 3 things from the floor." That's it. One step at a time. GENTLE FOCUS SESSIONS Tap Start Focus and work through your steps with a calm timer. No pressure, no guilt. You can stop after 2 minutes β€” or keep going. Most people keep going. AI DAILY SCHEDULING Check in each morning and get a gentle schedule that matches your energy. Too much? Shuffle it. Still too much? Ask for just one thing. Your day, your pace. BRAIN DUMP When your head is full, just talk or type everything out. AI sorts the mess into clear, actionable tasks. One tap to add them to your inbox. TASK WEAVE Working on multiple things? Select 2-5 tasks and AI weaves them into one smart session, finding natural transition points between steps. ROUTINES Group tasks into repeatable routines...morning routine, weekly cleanup, whatever works for you. Start a routine and move through each task in order. APPLE WATCH Your steps follow you. Start a focus session on your wrist, complete steps with a tap, and stay in flow without pulling out your phone. WORKS OFFLINE Create tasks, complete steps, and run focus sessions without internet.

Kojent KanDo turns thoughts into tasks, with a simple interface that keeps your next step in view. Formerly ADHDO Tasks, it keeps your existing tasks and app identity while introducing the Kojent look and feel. CAPTURE A THOUGHT Hold Add to speak, or tap it to type. KanDo helps turn natural language into tasks, dates, checklists and recurring reminders. Share text or an image from another app to bring a task into KanDo. CHOOSE WHAT MATTERS Move between Today, Queue, Recurring and Habits from one clear menu. Review and edit the details, filter your queue, and focus on one task at a time. Break a larger task into smaller steps when you need a starting point. ORGANISE YOUR WORK Add an optional client and project to Work tasks. Choose a saved name or enter a new one. Your client and project lists stay on your device, and you can manage them in Settings. Recurring Work tasks keep the same allocation. KEEP PEOPLE IN MIND Create contact reminders and link a person you choose from your contacts. Contact access is optional. GET A LITTLE HELP Use AI help to find and work with your tasks. Review its suggestions before relying on themβ€”AI can make mistakes. MAKE ROOM FOR YOUR DAY Set quiet time, review phone permissions and revisit the gesture guide in a separate Settings screen. KanDo keeps the familiar tap and swipe interactions with a connected Contacts, Add and AI help bar. YOUR EXISTING TASKS STAY WITH YOU This is an update to ADHDO Tasks, not a separate replacement app. Your tasks remain on your device when you update.
