DoneLayer turns articles you read into actions you actually take. Paste any article URL and AI suggests exactly 3 tasks you can act on this week β€” not summaries, but specific actions with source citations and difficulty ratings. You choose which one to commit to, then long-press to make it official. HOW IT WORKS 1. PASTE β€” Share any article link or type a URL. AI reads the content instantly. 2. SUGGEST β€” Get 3 precise, actionable tasks for this week. Each comes with a quote from the article and a difficulty level (quick / 1 week / long-term). 3. COMMIT β€” Long-press 400ms to commit. The extra step is intentional: it makes your decision feel real. 4. ACT β€” Move tasks from TODO β†’ DOING β†’ DONE in a simple kanban. 5. LOG β€” See 12 weeks of completed actions stacked in a bar graph. Track your Action Rate: how many of your commitments you actually carried out. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO READ A LOT AND ACT TOO LITTLE Engineers, indie developers, and lifelong learners often bookmark dozens of articles but rarely act on them. DoneLayer adds one intentional friction point β€” the commit β€” to break that cycle. KEY FEATURES β€’ AI task extraction from any article URL β€’ Custom task mode for YouTube videos, X posts, or any text β€’ 3-status kanban (todo / doing / done) β€’ 12-week action log with bar graph β€’ Action Rate donut chart (weekly commitment tracking) β€’ Web version with real-time sync to your iPhone β€’ Share Extension β€” clip articles from Safari or any app β€’ Weekly AI report (Pro) β€’ Period comparisons in your knowledge map (Pro) β€’ Share cards for social sharing (Pro) FREE TO START Core features are free.
