Tired of endless to-do lists that only cause anxiety? Most task managers eventually turn into "task graveyards," leaving you with nothing but stress and guilt over unfulfilled plans. Maybe changes the rules. It’s not just a storage for chores; it’s a minimalist tool designed to beat procrastination and gently guide you into a state of flow. Just do what you choose. WHY IT WORKS Maybe is built on the psychology of Mark Forster's FVP (Final Version Perfected) method. You don't force yourself into a rigid schedule or blindly follow a top-down list. Instead, you intuitively build a "chain" of tasks, selecting what you are actually ready to tackle right now. This eliminates the dread of routine: complete easy tasks, build momentum, and crush complex projects riding a wave of dopamine! WHAT’S INSIDE MAYBE: ◈ THE MASTER PLAN Offload everything spinning in your head. Use the chain method to intuitively highlight what's most important for today, without overwhelming yourself. ◈ "IN PROGRESS" MODE (Pure Focus) Once your chain is ready, all the clutter disappears. It’s just you and 3–5 tasks in perfect order. No visual noise—only deep concentration. ◈ SMART AI INPUT Save time: dictate your thoughts on the go or snap a photo of a notebook page. The smart scanner will extract the tasks and format them into clear, actionable steps. ◈ CALENDAR CONTEXT Your Apple Calendar events are visible right inside your to-do list. You instantly see how much real time you have for tasks, helping you avoid burnout. ◈ "FOR LATER" ZONE Not relevant today? Move it out of sight. Your workspace should remain perfectly clean. THE KILLER FEATURE: COMPLETION RITUAL Completing tasks in Maybe feels physical. We added powerful haptics and the satisfying sound of a successful Apple Pay transaction. Your brain gets an instant dopamine reward for every completed block of tasks, turning routine into a highly satisfying experience. AESTHETICS & TECH • Minimalist, distraction-free design. • Smooth micro-animations and intuitive gestures. • Lightning-fast offline mode (Offline-first) with instant cross-device synchronization when you're back online. • Elegant widgets for your iOS Home Screen. WHO IS IT FOR? • Minimalists tired of bloated, overly complex corporate planners. • People with ADHD and those prone to procrastination. • Anyone who wants to regain control of their time without the stress. Stop just planning. Start living, focusing, and taking action with Maybe! Privacy Policy: https://maybe.do/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://maybe.do/terms
