Just a calm, visual answer to one question: "Can I do this?" Pinch to zoom from a full year heatmap down to a single month.

Made for ADHD brains. Now answers one question: what do I do right now? Most focus apps overwhelm you with planning, then paywall the basics and make you feel bad when you slip. Now does the opposite. ONE THING AT A TIME Your current step, a calm visual countdown, and one button. No endless lists to manage. BREAK IT DOWN Dump an overwhelming task and get a few tiny, doable steps you can actually start. ROUTINES THAT RUN THEMSELVES Save your morning, wind-down, or work-start routine and let the app walk you through it, step by step — so you never have to decide what's next. NO SHAME, EVER Stopping early still counts. There are no streaks to break and nothing to feel guilty about. Every minute of focus is a win. CALM BY DESIGN A quiet, low-stimulation interface with an optional grayscale mode — built to settle your attention, not grab it. FAIR AND PRIVATE Free to use. No account required. No sign-up. Works fully offline, and your data stays on your device. Now is for anyone with ADHD, executive-function challenges, or anyone who freezes at "where do I even start." Open it, and take the next small step. NOW PRO (OPTIONAL) The basics stay free forever. Now Pro adds Calendar and Todoist integration plus unlimited AI breakdowns and custom routines. Auto-renewing subscription: $6.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
