Your brain hates long lists. We know. Threely only lets you pick 3 tasks for today. No projects, no tags, no subtasks. Just three things. WHY ONLY THREE? ADHD brains freeze when they see 47 tasks. Decision paralysis kicks in. You close the app. You feel bad. Threely removes the choice. Pick three. Do one. Celebrate. Threely is the calm ADHD planner built for brains that get overwhelmed by every other to-do list app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Dump everything on your mind into the Brain Dump 2. Each morning, pick your 3 most important tasks 3. Tap your first task to enter Focus Mode 4. When you finish, Threely celebrates with you WHAT YOU GET - Brain Dump: capture every thought without organizing it - Focus Mode: one task, one timer, ambient sounds to lock in - Rule of Three: only 3 tasks for today, finish one to add more - Celebrations: fullscreen confetti every time you complete a task - Weekly Review: see your progress in a simple chart - Daily Reset: incomplete tasks move back overnight, fresh start every morning. The opposite of a habit tracker that punishes you for missing a day. A daily planner for ADHD that respects how your brain actually works: - No streaks that punish bad days - No red "overdue" labels - No guilt when you miss a task - No complicated settings - No onboarding that takes 10 minutes If you tried Todoist, Notion, TickTick, or Things and quit within a week, this is for you. THREELY PRO Unlock the calm extras: - Unlimited brain dump (free: 15 tasks) - Focus sounds (rain, brown noise, ocean waves) - Weekly progress review - Morning pick for quick daily planning DESIGNED TO BE CALM One font.

Deny locks the apps that waste your time — and puts a friend in charge of the key. Most screen-time apps fail for one reason: the moment you want back in, you just tap "ignore limit." Deny removes that escape hatch. Block your most distracting apps, and when you want to unlock them, you have to ask a friend to approve it. HOW IT WORKS • Build block groups — pick the apps and sites to lock, on a schedule or a daily time limit. • Stay locked. Blocked apps are shielded by iOS, so there's no sneaking past them. • Allow temporary unlocks — give yourself a set number of minutes, with a live countdown showing exactly when apps re-lock. • Bring in friends. Connect with an invite code, then ask a friend for screen time. They approve or deny — you stay accountable. • See each other's progress and keep one another honest. WHY DENY • Friends make it stick. Accountability beats willpower. • Honest by design — no one-tap "ignore." • Private. Your data is yours; we never sell it or use it for ads. Deny uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) features to block apps on your own device. Take back your attention — together.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deny at none against Threely's 3. Threely's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
