There's always more to do. More to track, more to optimize, more to feel behind on. Solus is built on a different belief. One intention, held clearly through a single day, is worth more than a hundred tasks left half-finished. Solus is a daily intention app designed to help you focus on one meaningful thing each day. Instead of managing endless tasks, begin your morning with a single intention, carry it with you throughout the day, and end with a quiet moment of reflection. Set one intention in the morning. Live with it. Mark it complete when you're ready, or carry it forward when you're not. Every day begins fresh. Whatever happened yesterday stays there. No streaks. No history used against you. No record of the days you didn't follow through. When you're done, the moment is quiet and intentional. Not a score. Not a statistic. Just a gentle close to the day. Your intention stays with you beyond the app. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep it visible without opening Solus, and it appears in StandBy while your iPhone rests on its side charging. You can ask Siri to set your intention or mark it done without touching the screen at all. Widgets follow your selected theme so your Home Screen feels consistent. Solus follows your preferred text size, so it stays comfortable to read. Everything is stored on your device. No account required. No data leaves your iPhone. Solus is free to download. The daily intention experience is completely free and always will be. If Solus has been helpful, you're welcome to buy a coffee. It's a small one-time way to say thank you. For those who want to go further, Solus Plus is available as a one-time purchase with no subscription. Solus Plus includes: • Evening Close End each day with a quiet question and a moment of reflection. • Quiet Archive Keep every intention you've ever set in one place. No scores. No color coding. No completion rates. Just a quiet record of what mattered. • Themes Five thoughtfully designed themes. Dawn and Midnight are free. Stone, Dusk, and Slate are available with Solus Plus. Solus is for anyone who has tried productivity systems and walked away exhausted. For anyone who knows what matters today but keeps losing it in the noise. One intention. One day. That's enough.

About

Calm Commit

Are you tired of endless to-do lists? Calm Commit is a gentle task management app that helps you choose the one thing that matters most today and keep it visible on your Home Screen. Instead of trying to manage every task perfectly, focus on the one thing that would make today feel worthwhile. If you can finish it, today is a good day. Your Daily Commitment Each morning, choose one thing you want to focus on most. For example: - Finish the first draft of a proposal - Submit presentation materials - Clean your room - Make plans with your family - Study for just 30 minutes Write down the one thing that would make you think, “If I finish this, today will be great.” When it is done, simply tap the completion button. Calm Commit gives your day a clear focus and makes it easier to feel a small, satisfying sense of progress. Home Screen Widgets Your daily commitment can be displayed as a Home Screen widget. Even without opening the app, you can see what matters most today every time you look at your phone. On busy days, it helps you avoid getting swept away by notifications and distractions, and gently reminds you what you decided to care about today. Widget Memo Separate from your daily commitment, you can also place a free memo on your Home Screen. Use it for shopping lists, things to bring, appointments, quick notes, or anything you do not want to forget. For example: - Buy eggs - Bring an umbrella - Call at 10:00 - Take out the trash tomorrow It works like a quiet sticky note for your phone’s Home Screen. If-Then Habits Habits are hard to build with willpower alone. With Calm Commit, you can create habits in an If-Then format: “If this happens, then I will do that.” For example: - After brushing my teeth in the morning, drink a glass of water - Before starting work, check today’s commitment - After lunch, walk for five minutes - Before going to bed, prepare for tomorrow By deciding when and what to do in advance, it becomes easier to take action naturally. Streaks When you check off a habit, your streak grows. Not like a flame burning intensely, but like a quiet wave that keeps moving forward. Calm Commit helps you record small daily wins with a calm, gentle feeling. Notes Calm Commit also includes a simple notes feature. Write down thoughts, shopping lists, work notes, ideas, or anything else you want to keep. You can use it as a simple notebook, or as a supporting space for your daily commitment. Why This App Was Created Calm Commit was inspired by the book Task Management for People Who Never Have Enough Time. The app focuses on the most practical parts of the book’s approach: choosing one daily commitment and building habits with If-Then planning. It is not meant to help you do more and more forever. It is designed to help you decide what really matters today, complete it, and end the day feeling good. Recommended For People Who - Feel tired of ever-growing to-do lists - Could not stick with other task management apps - Want to decide the most important thing each morning - Want to remember important tasks from the Home Screen - Want to place simple memo widgets like sticky notes - Want a habit tracker that does not feel too strict - Care about work, but also want to value time with themselves and their family Premium Premium makes Calm Commit more comfortable to use. Premium includes: - Ad removal - Unlimited notes - Unlimited habits - Photo backgrounds - Customization features such as water surface themes Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are available. Choose the one thing that matters most today. Keep it in sight. Finish it, and end the day feeling good. “If I finish this today, today will be great.” Make that one thing your commitment for today.
