Name one thing. Tap start. That's the whole idea. Again keeps one list. Each day you pick up to three things from it. Everything else stays parked, undated, so nothing goes overdue and nothing nags. When you're ready to work, name the thing, tap start, and the screen breathes with you while you work. No countdown, no score, nothing to keep up. When to reach for it: • Work you've been circling all morning • A chore that keeps sliding to tomorrow • A message you can't face writing • The first ten minutes of a deep-work block Open Again, name the thing, begin small. Two minutes counts. What's inside: Runway: the starting place. One button, a calm screen, a soft signal at the end. Time passes as colour, never as a number. Parked thoughts: when something else pops into your head mid-task, park it and keep going. Type it or say it; on your phone or with a tap on your watch. It waits quietly and asks nothing of you. An optional daily layer: pick up to three things in the morning, close the day gently in the evening, see your rhythm without a score. Use it when it helps. Skip it when it doesn't. One tap from outside the app: a home screen widget, a Siri shortcut, a watch complication. The shortest path from stuck to started. If you already run a calendar or to-do app, keep it. They hold what and when. Again holds the moment of starting; nothing here carries a date, so nothing here goes overdue. What Again will never do: • No count of days in a row • No notification about your absence • No badges, comparisons, or guilt • No timer staring at you during a session Whatever yesterday looked like, the welcome is the same. Free right now. No ads. No account. Everything you write stays on your device; your task names and thoughts are never sent to a server. Built for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. ————— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.getagainapp.com/privacy
