You have one task. It feels like twenty. You know what you need to do - you just can't start. TaskSteps is the AI task breaker built for brains that freeze at "where do I begin." Type any task exactly how it feels - messy, vague, overwhelming. TaskSteps breaks it into a clear plan matched to your current energy level. WHAT YOU GET: First Action: One concrete thing you can do right now. No decisions, no prep. Just start. Step-by-Step Plan: A realistic sequence with time estimates. Not a productivity fantasy - actual steps sized for how you feel today. Rescue Step: Lost focus halfway through? Every plan includes a re-entry point so you can pick back up without starting over. THREE ENERGY MODES: Low Energy: Fewer steps, gentler asks, shorter time blocks. For the days where getting dressed counts as a win. Normal Energy: Balanced plans with moderate challenge. Your everyday mode. High Energy: More ambitious steps for the days when motivation shows up unannounced. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Type your task in plain language ("file taxes" or "clean the entire apartment somehow") 2. Pick your current energy: low, normal, or high 3. Get your first action, full step list, and rescue step in seconds 4. Check off steps as you go 5. Every plan saves to local history - search past decompositions anytime BUILT FOR YOUR BRAIN: TaskSteps doesn't ask you to build habits, maintain streaks, or set up a productivity system. You open it when you're stuck. It gives you the next thing to do. That's it. All processing happens on-device. Your tasks stay on your phone. Download TaskSteps and turn your next overwhelming task into a first step. 3 free task decompositions to start. Unlock unlimited plans for $4.99 - one time, no subscription.

Saved an article or video for later, only to never come back to it? The more you save, the harder it gets to decide what to open next. Tryve isn't just another bookmark organizer. It brings one “Next” item to the front based on when you want to try it and how much time it takes—helping you move from saving to actually reading, watching, or trying. No need to search through a long saved list and decide all over again. Save what catches your interest, then start with the one Tryve puts in front of you. ■ TURN WHAT YOU SAVE INTO ACTION • Quickly save articles, videos, links, and notes • Choose when you want to try something: Today, This Week, or Weekend • See one clear “Next” item on your Home screen • Save directly from Safari, YouTube, X, and other apps using the Share Sheet ■ TURN WHAT YOU TRY INTO YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE After you read, watch, or try something, leave a quick record of how it went. • Add a quick rating • Save notes and insights • Look back at what you've tried • Use tags and filters to find what matters later Instead of letting saved information pile up, Tryve helps you keep what you actually learned from it. ■ TRYVE IS FOR YOU IF… • Choosing what to open next from your saved list feels like work • Your Safari Reading List keeps growing • Your YouTube Watch Later list never gets shorter • You save posts on social apps and forget about them • You love collecting useful information but rarely act on it • You want to remember what you actually read, watched, and tried ■ TRYVE PRO With Tryve Pro, you can save without worrying about the Free plan's item limit. Use additional filters such as status, your records, and saved date to find what you've kept and what you've already tried more easily. Don't let what you save end there. Turn it into your next step with Tryve.
