SIX PRIORITIES. ONE CLEAR DAY. Long to-do lists create noise. Ivy6 helps you decide what truly matters, work on one task at a time, and end the day knowing you did the important things. Built on the Ivy Lee Method, a 100-year-old productivity ritual, Ivy6 gives you a calm daily planner for iPhone, iPad and Mac: 1. Capture everything in your Inbox. 2. Choose your six most important tasks. 3. Put them in order. 4. Work through them one at a time. 5. Plan tomorrow tonight, and start fresh in the morning. YOUR DAILY 6 Commit to no more than six priorities. The limit makes you choose deliberately instead of carrying an endless list from day to day. CAPTURE NOW, DECIDE LATER Ideas, errands and future tasks wait in your Inbox until they earn a place in your plan. Add estimates, subtasks, tags, snooze and recurring routines when you need them. FOCUS ON ONE TASK Start a distraction-free session for your current priority. Use a stopwatch, a 5-minute sprint, Pomodoro or a countdown, and see how much time you really give to meaningful work. PLAN TOMORROW TONIGHT In the evening, Ivy6 invites you to choose tomorrow's priorities in order. Unfinished tasks return to your Inbox for a conscious decision, so every morning starts clean.

Some tasks aren't hard. They're just impossible to start. You know exactly what to do. You've known for days. But the gap between knowing and starting feels enormous โ€” so it sits there, and the shame piles up on top of it. AnkleTap closes that gap. It breaks any task into steps so small your brain can't say no, then walks you through them one at a time โ€” before, during, and after. Your brain needs specific, step-by-step instructions for the boring stuff. AnkleTap gives it exactly that. WHY NOT JUST A REMINDER APP? A reminder tells you WHEN. It never tells you HOW โ€” and you swipe it away still stuck. AnkleTap hands you a first step small enough to actually take, keeps your next step lit so you don't drift off halfway, and never turns red or calls you "overdue." Reminders tell you what to do. AnkleTap gets you doing it. HOW IT WORKS โ€” PRE, DURING, POST - PRE: line up the tiny steps that get you started, so tomorrow-you faces less resistance. - DURING: focus on one lit step at a time. Everything else waits. - POST: close out and reset, so repeating it next time is effortless. WHAT'S INSIDE - Speak it, don't type it โ€” capture a task with your voice when your brain is too fried to type. - Break it down with AI, or write your own steps once and reuse them forever. - Start now, finish later โ€” begin a task and pick it back up hours later without losing your place. - Honest timers โ€” count down to a deadline, or track how long things really take, so time stops vanishing. - Recurring rituals โ€” build routines that give you one win a day, even on the rough ones. - Your anchor โ€” record why you started, in your own voice, for the days you forget. - A two-minute logbook โ€” no shame, just proof you showed up. BUILT FOR REAL ADHD BRAINS Time blindness, task paralysis, initiation paralysis, forgetfulness, overwhelm, the novelty-seeking, the self-shaming โ€” AnkleTap is designed around all of it, by someone who lives it. Glasses help you see. AnkleTap helps you start. Using a tool for the thing your brain finds hard isn't cheating โ€” it's the point. You know your brain. Do the tasks your way. One foot in front of the other. โ€” AnkleTap Pro unlocks everything. Start with a 7-day free trial, then choose monthly or annual. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
