Done is for the part of your brain that keeps moving the finish line. Most productivity apps help you start. Done helps you finish. Before you begin, define exactly what β€œdone” means with clear, checkable criteria. During your work session, stay focused on one task. When you stop, close the loop with a wrap-up note that captures: - what is true now - the next concrete action - what can safely wait Done is built for ADHD and AuDHD brains, and useful for anyone who wants cleaner stopping points, lower task-switching stress, and better restarts. ### What you get - One-task-at-a-time sessions - Define-done checklist before work starts - Wrap-up ritual to reduce mental carryover - Reusable templates for common task closures - Session history for quick context recovery ### Done+ (one-time unlock) - AI-assisted done criteria (on supported devices) - AI-assisted wrap-up note suggestions - Expanded formatting and unlimited history No subscriptions. No account required. No tracking. Your session data stays on your device.
