MOL.DO
Read full descriptionHide full description
Someday ā Today ā Right Now. Most task apps are graveyards of "someday" items. MOL.DO is built on a single pipeline: pull a task from your backlog, give it a real deadline so it becomes today's task, then immerse yourself in the ONE task that's happening right now. That's it. No projects. No labels. No guilt. Just the funnel that turns intentions into finished work. THE THREE STAGES 1. Backlog ā Someday Tasks Capture everything you might do, by voice or text. No pressure, no priority. It just lives here until you're ready. 2. Today ā Tasks With a Deadline Pull a task from the backlog and commit. Give it today. Now it's no longer "someday" ā it's a promise to your future self. 3. Right Now ā The ONE You're Immersed In Pick the single task you're doing this moment. It locks onto your Home Screen widget and Lock Screen Live Activity. Everything else fades. WHY THIS WORKS The problem isn't capturing tasks. It's the gap between "I should" and "I'm doing." MOL.DO closes that gap with one rule: a task only earns "today" status when you commit a deadline, and only one task can be "right now." You stop juggling. You start finishing. FEATURES ⢠Voice Brain Dump ā capture backlog items by speaking ⢠Deadline Commit ā turn backlog items into today's tasks with a single tap ⢠Right Now Focus Mode ā one task, one screen, zero distraction ⢠Live Activity ā your current task always visible on the Lock Screen ⢠Home Screen Widget ā your ONE in your peripheral vision all day ⢠Day History ā see exactly what you finished, not just what you planned ⢠Weekly & Monthly Reports ā patterns of what actually got done ⢠Reflect ā quick check-in at day's end WHO IT'S FOR ⢠People drowning in 200-item todo lists ⢠Knowledge workers who lose hours to context switching ⢠Anyone with ADHD-style task paralysis ⢠Folks who've tried Things, Todoist, TickTick ā and still feel scattered ⢠Builders, writers, students who need deep focus, not more features NOT BUILT FOR Project management. Team collaboration. Shared lists. If you need those, use something else. MOL.DO is for one person, one task, one moment. PRIVACY Your tasks stay on your device. No accounts required. No tracking. Stop adding. Start finishing. Pull it forward. Lock it in. Get immersed.
