TaskSteps
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Silent Habits
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most habit apps make you tap a box every day just to prove you showed up. Silent Habits flips it: your habits are already done. You only open the app when you skip, and when you do, you tell us why. That small shift changes everything. Instead of chasing streaks, you start noticing patterns. Instead of guilt, you get honesty. The idea: Most days, you do the habit. So why prove it? Silent Habits assumes the best, your morning walk happened, your pages got read, your workout got done. The habit is complete until you say otherwise. But life happens. You get tired, busy, sick, or just don't feel like it. When that happens, you log the skip. One tap, one reason, tired, busy, travel, family, just didn't, and you're done. No shame, no streak panic, no guilt. Just an honest record of what got in the way. Over time, that record becomes something far more useful than a streak counter ever could. How it works: Silent Habits marks each habit complete at the start or end of your day, whichever you prefer. If you skipped a workout, a reading session, or your morning walk, you log it in seconds. Your calendar shows every day at a glance: a filled circle for days you showed up, an emoji for what got in the way. Scroll back through the months and your real patterns emerge, you skip workouts when you travel, you skip reading when work gets heavy. Knowing that is the first step to doing something about it. Features: - Auto-complete your habits daily, no tapping required - Log a skip in seconds with one tap and a reason - Visual calendar showing every completed day and skip reason at a glance - Skip pattern insights to spot what's getting in your way - Flexible scheduling, set habits for specific days of the week - A daily motivational quote from the Stoics and thinkers who understood discipline - Your data stays on your device, fully private, no account required - Export and import your data anytime
