Small steps, big progress. When a task feels too big, getting started can be the hardest part. First Step helps you turn it into small, practical steps—so you always have a clear next action. BREAK IT DOWN WITH AI Describe what you want to do. First Step helps clarify the task and creates a step-by-step plan. If a step still feels too big, break it down further. MAKE THE PLAN YOURS Edit steps, add your own, and adjust your task list as your plans change. Use it for everyday chores, study sessions, work projects, or goals you've been putting off. FOCUS ON THE NEXT STEP Open Focus Mode to see one action at a time. Mark it done, then move on to the next. Landscape orientation also brings you into Focus Mode. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Check off steps, revisit completed tasks, and view daily, weekly, and monthly statistics. Unlock achievement badges as you keep going. START FREE Create up to 3 tasks per day for free. Breaking an existing step into smaller steps is always free. First Step Pro offers unlimited task creation and iCloud sync across your devices.

Loopcheck turns checklists into something that resets itself instead of piling up forever. Every item comes back on its own schedule — daily, weekdays, or custom days — so you start each morning with a clean list. RECURRING TASKS, NOT ONE-OFF TO-DOS Set a schedule once — daily, weekdays, weekends, or specific days — and the item reappears automatically. No re-adding the same chores every single day. SHARED PROJECTS FOR FAMILY AND TEAMS Create shared projects — Home, Work, Groceries — and invite the people you share them with. Owner, editor, and viewer roles control who can change the list and who just tracks progress. Everything syncs in real time. STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU GOING Finish every item in a project, day after day, and watch your streak grow. The project calendar shows your history at a glance — fully done days, partial days, and what's still ahead. READY-MADE TEMPLATES Don't want to start from a blank list? The template gallery offers ready-made sets for home, work, and study — in English and Russian. Save your own projects as templates to reuse them later. DESIGNED FOR iOS Loopcheck is built with the new Liquid Glass design language — translucent surfaces, fluid animation, full dark mode support — so it feels like a natural part of the system. PRO SUBSCRIPTION The free version covers basic projects and checklists. Loopcheck Pro removes the limits on projects and collaborators and unlocks full completion history, with weekly, monthly, or lifetime plans. Loopcheck is for anyone who wants the important stuff to come back on its own — not get buried in last month's list.
