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.

About

Orbit

Read full description

Set a timer, put the phone down, and actually stay off the apps that pull you away. Orbit is a focus timer built for ADHD brains that set timers and then ignore them. Most timers just count down in the background. Orbit shields your distracting apps for real, using iOS Screen Time, so the pull is gone while you work. A single hand-drawn tangle of line sits on a black screen and slowly threads with color as your session runs. It is your clock, your progress bar, and something calm to rest your eyes on instead of a feed. Touch it and the strands spring and swirl back into place. Why it fits an ADHD brain: - One tap to start. Pick a preset and you are focusing, no setup wall. - Real app blocking, not a nag. The apps you choose stay shielded until the session ends. - A calm, no-shame stop. Sessions wind down gently instead of slamming shut on a hyperfocus. - Focused days, not guilt streaks. Orbit counts the days you showed up and never punishes a miss. - Nothing to read while you focus. Black screen, one moving thing, silence. Free forever: - Focus sessions with the live tangle - A basic streak of your focused days Orbit Pro: - Unlimited sessions and full app blocking - Complete history and insight into where your time actually goes - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets No ads. No account. Works offline. Your session data stays on your device. Untangle your time. Terms of Use: https://readbuildship.com/apps/orbit/terms

Verdict

The call
