Your brain is not a storage device. When your head is full, the hard part is not motivation. It is holding too many open loops at once without losing the important one. Speak or type the messy version. Offload finds the real tasks, appointments, and notes inside it, lets you review everything, and sends each one where it belongs — tasks to Apple Reminders, events to Apple Calendar — in one tap. No organizing first. No new productivity system to maintain. HOW IT WORKS 1. Dump it out Speak or type naturally. Rambling is fine. Run-on sentences are fine. Offload is built for the messy version, not the polished one. 2. Review what matters Offload sorts your dump into tasks, events, and notes. Edit any title, fix a date, and drop anything noisy before a single thing gets sent. Nothing leaves the app until you say so. 3. Send it where it belongs Tasks go to the Apple Reminders list you choose. Events go to Apple Calendar with the right date and time. Notes stay saved in Offload until you want them somewhere else. One tap per section. IT GETS THE DATES RIGHT "Thursday", "before the 15th", "every other Wednesday" — Offload reads dates the way you actually say them, including repeating ones. A recurring item starts on its real first occurrence instead of starting the series today. WHY PEOPLE USE OFFLOAD - Brain dump capture built for overloaded ADHD brains and mental-load moments - Voice and text input, so you can catch a thought the way it arrives - Tasks, appointments, and notes separated for you - Review-before-send flow that keeps you in control of the AI - Apple Reminders and Apple Calendar as destinations, not another inbox to maintain - Home Screen widget for faster capture - Full support in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese NOT ANOTHER PLANNER Offload is not a coaching app, a habit tracker, or an all-in-one life system. No streaks. No dashboards. Nothing to maintain. It is the fast path from swirling thoughts to a clean list in the apps you already trust. TRUST Try Offload with 2 free brain dumps. No account, no login. Premium unlocks unlimited dumps. The renewal terms are shown before you pay, with a link to Apple's instructions for cancelling, and subscribers can manage their plan anytime in Settings. PRIVACY Your brain dumps are processed to extract tasks and are not used for ads or cross-app tracking. Offload does not send task titles, reminder content, or personal note text into analytics. If Notes captures the mess but never turns it into action, try Offload.

Block distracting apps. Put your real tasks back in view. Do Instead helps you step away from social scrolling and return to something you chose to do. Set allowed times for distracting apps and websites, then see a next task from Apple Reminders or Todoist when you reach for a blocked app. YOUR TASKS AT THE MOMENT YOU NEED THEM Connect Apple Reminders to bring your existing tasks into view. Today's commitments come first, followed by overdue work, with priority helping you choose. Connect Todoist with Pro. Keep your next task nearby with Home and Lock Screen widgets. SEPARATE SOCIAL BREAKS FROM WORK HOURS Give Social and Work their own apps, websites, and allowed times. Schedule a social break at lunch and keep work messages within working hours. Choose optional reminders five minutes before your allowed times start or end. Scheduled blocking requires Do Instead Pro and Screen Time permission. GIVE AN IMPULSE TIME TO PASS Turning off the guard or widening your allowed times takes ten minutes to apply. Tightening protection applies immediately. After repeated blocked opens, pause and write down what you came for before choosing your next step. CHOOSE SOMETHING TO DO INSTEAD Return to a task, take a minute for guided box breathing, or try a short desk workout with a 3D coach. You choose what to do with the pause. WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PRO Free: Apple Reminders, Home and Lock Screen widgets, breathing, desk workouts, and the gentler Shortcuts route. The Shortcuts route requires setting up an automation to open Do Instead when you open a chosen app. Pro: scheduled blocking, allowed windows, the ten-minute cooldown, and Todoist integration. Subscription prices and available trials are shown in the app for your region before purchase. HOW BLOCKING WORKS Strict mode uses Apple's Screen Time features. Website coverage depends on your browser and iOS version. You can add website addresses or import a browser history export to choose domains; imported domains stay on your device. Manually added website restrictions can show Apple's restriction page instead of the task shield. On iOS 26.5 and later, open your task manager from the shield through Do Instead. Earlier versions offer a notification shortcut when notifications are enabled. Or choose Take a break to step away without starting a task. Completing a task does not unlock blocked apps; your allowed times determine access. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No Do Instead account, ads, analytics, or tracking. Task integrations connect to the services you choose. Transfer settings between devices with a QR code. Your intention notes stay on your phone. BUILT FROM A PERSONAL JOURNEY My weekly Social-category time went from 12h 36m to 6h 17m, then 2h 37m across three complete weeks. That personal experience inspired how I build Do Instead. It is not a promise of your results. — Arkadiy, creator of Do Instead Make room for what you'd rather do.
