Most to-do lists don’t work. They capture tasks, but don't help you complete them. Only Three is different. Instead of endless tasks and cluttered lists, you choose just three things to complete each day. That’s it. Simple, focused, and effective. Clarity, not clutter. Why it works Plan your priorities the night before. No more long lists. Just the three things that actually matter. Built for focus. Feel accomplished daily. Review your History and keep across completed tasks. Finish your three tasks and end the day with a clear win. No accounts, no distractions. Your tasks stay on your device. Open the app and go. Stop planning everything. Start finishing what matters. Let's start, with Only Three.
Focus D
Read full descriptionHide full description
A Pomodoro timer that rewards you for building focus. You know the feeling. You picked up your phone to do one thing, and 20 minutes vanished. Focus isn't a personality trait — it's a skill. Skills are trainable. Focus D combines three things into one loop: • Timer — Time-box your work. Start small, build momentum. • Tasks — Break it down. One thing at a time. No cognitive overload. • Rewards — Satisfy yourself. Earn tomatoes, redeem them for wishlist items you set yourself. This isn't just another timer. It's built on BJ Fogg's Behavior Model: Motivation + Ability + Prompt. Most Pomodoro apps give you a timer and a notification — that covers Ability and Prompt, but they leave Motivation entirely to you. Now, Focus D closes the loop. What makes Focus D different: • A complete focus training system, not just a countdown • Wishlist rewards create incentive — earn what you care about • Task management built in — no app switching • Deep analytics in three sections — Daily snapshot, Trends over time, Insights that discover your patterns • Clean, native design. No account required. Your data stays on your device. • Live Activity & Dynamic Island support From the developer: I led an employee incentive management project before building Focus D. I saw firsthand how motivation systems change behavior — when you align ability, motivation, and the right nudge, people transform. I applied that same thinking here. This is the app I needed when I was the one scrolling. Focus D is the first app from DA3H. More tools are coming. Built for people who want to spend their time better.
