You know that task you keep putting off? The 20-page essay due Monday. The tax paperwork. The room that's been "I'll deal with it tomorrow" for three weeks. Unfold turns it into 3–5 concrete steps you can start in the next 10 seconds. HOW IT WORKS Type the task. Doesn't matter how vague — "clean my room," "thesis intro," "sort the email backlog." Unfold's AI breaks it down into small, sequential actions. Pick your time — 10, 15, or 25 minutes. Start. One step at a time. No full project view, no looming to-do list. Just the next thing. Stuck on a step? Tap once. The app simplifies it. Smaller, clearer, easier — whatever lets you keep moving. When the timer ends, you see exactly what you got done. WHAT MAKES UNFOLD DIFFERENT – Not a to-do list. Sessions are generated fresh, not maintained. – Not a timer app. The timer is context, not pressure. – Not a habit tracker. No streaks, no daily goals, no comparisons. – Built for the moment you don't know where to start. WHO USES UNFOLD Students writing dissertations and cramming for finals. Freelancers chasing deadlines. Founders managing their own workload. Anyone with a task that's been sitting too long. FEATURES – AI-powered task breakdown – Timed focus sessions (10, 15, 25 min) – Rescue mechanic — simplify any step, mid-session – Completion proof — see what you got done – Anonymous start — no account required for your first session – Works offline once a session is running SIMPLE PRICING 3 free sessions per week. Unlimited with a subscription. Privacy Policy: https://unfoldfocus.com/privacy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
