First Thingy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most productivity apps give you more ways to make longer lists. One Thing gives you one task. Set the one thing that matters most right now. Work on it. When you're done, mark it complete. If you give up, you have to say why ā in your own words, saved permanently. That's it. Why only one task? Because you can only do one thing at a time anyway. The list is the lie. One Thing removes the lie. Why must you explain yourself? Because excuses are easy when no one is watching. One Thing is watching. Not to judge ā to help you see the patterns you hide from yourself. The Honest Record Every task you've set, completed, or abandoned lives here. No editing. No deleting. Just the truth about how you spend your time and attention. Features: ⢠Set one active task at a time ā enforced ⢠Abandoning requires a written explanation ⢠Permanent honest record of all your tasks ⢠Daily reminder at a time you choose ⢠Light and dark mode ⢠No account needed, no cloud sync, no tracking Your data stays on your device. Always.
CapyDo

Your to-do list is stressing you out more than it's helping. CapyDo syncs with Apple Reminders and shows you one task at a time, so you can make progress without the pressure. Pick what matters, do it, then move on. At your own pace. WHY IT WORKS ⢠One task on screen, fewer distractions ⢠Small wins that help you build momentum ⢠You stay in control of what comes next ⢠A calm capybara keeps you company and cheers you on, and never judges FINISH WHAT YOU PLANNED Most productivity apps help you do more. This one helps you finish what you planned. Line up more than five tasks for the day and CapyDo answers "5 tasks is already ambitious!" instead of pushing you on. Get to the end of your day and the capybara takes a bath, because there is nothing left to do. SYNCED WITH APPLE REMINDERS Your tasks are already in Reminders, and that is where they stay. Nothing to import. Add a task in CapyDo or with Siri, whichever you prefer. If you ever stop using CapyDo, everything is exactly where you left it. WIDGETS FOR iPHONE, iPAD & MAC Keep your current task where you can see it, like a sticky note you can tick off. Check it off right from the widget, without opening the app. Make it yours with light and dark themes, your own background photo, and five encouragement styles: Calm, Zen, Hype, Humor and Stoic. ORGANIZE YOUR DAY Choose your tasks for the day, in the order you want. CapyDo shows them to you one at a time. Skip anything, anytime. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. Your tasks stay on your device and in your iCloud. We never read them. We only use anonymized diagnostics, such as crash reports and usage stats, to help improve the app. FREE, AND CapyDo PRO CapyDo is free for one task a day, and it stays free. That is enough to find out whether the approach works for you. CapyDo PRO unlocks unlimited tasks, Organize your day, all widgets and themes, and progress tracking. The annual plan starts with a 2-week free trial, because building a habit takes time. ⢠Monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase ⢠Payment is charged to your App Store account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in your App Store account settings.
