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 β€” "clean my room," "thesis intro," "sort the email backlog." Unfold's AI breaks it down into small, sequential actions. Pick your time β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” simplify any step, mid-session – Completion proof β€” see what you got done – Anonymous start β€” 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/

"I need to clean my room." "I should write that report." You knowβ€”but your body won't move. That's not laziness. The task is just too big, and your brain freezes. Ravel is an ADHD-friendly task app that breaks big, overwhelming tasks into steps so small they take 5 minutes each. Perfect if you: - Can't take the first step because the task feels enormous - Get paralyzed by long to-do lists - Have ADHD traits and struggle with starting and continuing tasks - Just need a "5 minutes only" push to get going Features - AI ravels your task Type "clean my room" and get steps like "grab just one trash bag" and "pick up 3 visible pieces of trash"β€”so small they feel almost silly. The first step is always easy. That's why you can start. - See only your next step No overwhelming lists. The screen shows exactly one step: the one you're doing now. A 5-minute timer keeps the scope tiny. Nothing to be paralyzed by. - A little celebration after every step Confetti falls each time you finish a step. Small wins stack into momentum. Not feeling a step? Skip it for laterβ€”no guilt. - Everything stays on your device On Apple Intelligence devices, an on-device AI breaks down your tasks; other devices use built-in patterns. Your tasks are never sent to any server. No account needed. - Build confidence with your record Track steps finished today, completed tasks, and your streak. Proof that you CAN move. Pricing Free to use (3 task breakdowns per day). Premium unlocks unlimited breakdowns and removes all ads. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
