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. One accent color. Lots of whitespace. Big tap targets. Dark focus mode. No badges. No notifications by default. Feels like a calm friend, not a manager. PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. No account required. No tracking. No analytics. Your tasks are yours. Threely is free to download with optional auto-renewable subscriptions for Pro features.

Start with three things. That's enough.

"I know exactly what to do. I just can't start." That gap - between knowing and starting - is where task paralysis lives. Planners organize the day. Timers count it down. Neither one closes the gap. Startline was built for that exact moment, and for the way ADHD brains actually work. It has one job: get a person from frozen to a running focus session on ONE thing, with a two-minute first step, in under a minute. Dump the noise in your head. Pick one thing. Get a tiny, physical first step. Start. Any start counts as a win. TIME YOU CAN FEEL A solid block of time shrinks on the screen and on the Dynamic Island, so a session stops being an abstract number and becomes something you can watch. Over weeks, Startline learns your real time multipliers per kind of task - the emails guessed at ten minutes that always take twenty-four - and shows them back to you, kindly. SURVIVE INTERRUPTIONS Pulled away mid-task? One tap leaves a breadcrumb. When you come back, Startline walks you to the exact step you were on, then counts you in, 3-2-1. NO SHAME, EVER No overdue piles. No streaks to break. No red badges. A Momentum meter grows with any start and fades gently - it never resets to zero. Designed for ADHD brains. Startline is a productivity tool, not medical advice or treatment. FREE, FOREVER Unlimited brain dumps and focus sessions, Pick One, 10 ramps, one breadcrumb at a time, 14 days of time calibration, and Momentum. The whole core loop works offline on day one. STARTLINE PLUS - All 50 ramps plus custom ramps you save yourself (the free tier has 10). - Your full time-calibration history and personal multipliers (free keeps 14 days). - Unlimited breadcrumbs across every task (free keeps one at a time). - Procedural brown, pink, and white noise plus rain, generated on device. - Widgets, the Action Button, and Start my One Thing. - Optional gentle time pings during a session. - A near-monochrome, motion-free theme. - Search your Someday drawer. Plus is one purchase: Lifetime 34.99 USD (pay once, own it), Annual 12.99 USD with a 14-day free trial, or Monthly 2.99 USD. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Startline works fully offline and is designed exclusively for iPhone. Your records live on your iPhone. No account, no ads. Privacy Policy: https://app-legal-pages.vercel.app/startline/privacy Terms of Service: https://app-legal-pages.vercel.app/startline/terms
