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.

Watch Less, Learn More. The WatchLess Neural Engine watches public YouTube videos for you — so you never have to sit through content, ads or fluff you don't need — saving you time. Works for any YouTube video, just share the link and the AI Agent takes care of the rest. WatchLess is the premier AI Research Assistant designed to extract the "Alpha" from any video instantly. Whether you're a professional analyst, a high-stakes sports bettor, or a student, WatchLess gives you the edge by "watching" the video for you. EXTRACT INTELLIGENCE AT THREE LEVELS • OVERVIEW (Low Cost) — A concise, 5-point executive briefing on the core themes. • DEEP DIVE (Medium Cost) — Exhaustive research notes with timestamped breakdowns. • VISUAL INTELLIGENCE (High Cost) — Our elite multimodal agent. It "watches" the screen to analyze charts, graphics, and data. Required for videos without transcripts. THE WORKSTATION • FRAME FINDER — Describe any visual (e.g., "the moment he shows the injury report") and the AI finds the exact timestamp instantly. • FACT CHECKER — Trust but verify. We flag claims and cross-reference them against live info from across the web. • EXPERT CONSENSUS — Don't rely on one source. Compare multiple creators to surface where experts agree and diverge. • AI AGENTS — Put research on autopilot. Monitor channels 24/7 and get reports the moment a new video drops. • NEURAL VOICE — Turn any video into a podcast. Generate high-fidelity audio sessions to listen to on your commute.
