Stedo

Stedo is the calm daily planner that turns a busy head into a clear plan – organize your day, build routines you can reuse, and let AI do the heavy thinking. KEY FEATURES Today's plan – Every morning AI picks the 2–3 things that matter today, with a short reason for each, so you know where to start. I'm stuck – When it's hard to get going, Stedo gives you one tiny first step and a short timer. Take the next small step or call it good – both count. Plan your day your way – Organize the day into your own groups and view it as a simple list or a timeline. A week strip and month view keep navigation easy, while “Now” and “Up next” always show what to do. Reusable routines – Build a routine once and reuse it across groups; edit it in one place and it updates everywhere. Give any routine a timer, a checklist or a reward. AI co-planner – Speak or type a brain-dump and let Stedo build routines for you. Hand it a big, vague task and it breaks it into small, doable steps. Capture now, sort later – Drop any thought into your inbox, then turn it into a routine, checklist or to-do when you're ready. Reminders that reach you – Give a task a day and a reminder. Tick it off or snooze it 10 minutes right from the notification, and if you like, Stedo asks again until you answer. Time you can see – A running timer stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so time doesn't slip away. Capture a thought or add a task with Siri, Shortcuts or a long press on the app icon. Focus mode – Take one routine at a time: run its timer, tick the checklist, and unlock the reward at the end. Points & rewards – Earn points for what you finish, create your own rewards, and spend points to unlock them – with little celebrations along the way. Gentle support – Smart follow-ups nudge you once if a routine hasn't happened yet (never between 10 pm and 7 am). Insights show how your mood connects to your routines, and a private helper link lets a partner, parent or coach follow your day. STEDO PLUS Stedo is free to use: tasks with reminders, routines, checklists, the inbox, the focus timer, mood check-ins, points and rewards. Stedo Plus is an optional subscription with a free trial. It adds today's plan, I'm stuck, smart follow-ups, AI planning and task breakdown, the routine player, insights and the weekly reflection, the helper link, calendar sync, longer mood history with PDF export, and extra app icons and colors. WHY STEDO - Built with ADHD in mind – small steps, gentle reminders and no guilt when a day doesn't go to plan. - Calm by default – quiet design, one clear thing at a time, light and dark themes. - Positive by design – progress is rewarded with points, rewards and small celebrations. - Made for everyone – work, studies, family or just calmer days; Stedo fits how you already think.

Queue Focus brings task planning and a focus timer into one simple flow: plan today, choose one task, focus, finish, and move forward. Instead of switching between a to-do app and a timer, build a clear Today queue and act on it. When a task is done, tap Done, Next and keep your momentum. Lists are more than categories—they can represent the context you want to focus on. Create a Grocery list for milk, bread, and eggs. Create a Travel list for clothes, a charger, a wallet, and your passport. Switch lists to bring your attention back to what you are doing now. PLAN TODAY • Build and reorder a focused Today queue; batch-select to move or delete • Start a focus session from a task; set any focus and break duration • Pause, take a break, finish, and move to what’s next • See upcoming dues on Today; undo a completed task shortly after • Get local notifications when focus or break time ends FOCUS ON THE CURRENT CONTEXT • Create colored lists for shopping, travel, work, or daily routines • Filter by list and see only what matters now • Add planned dates, deadlines, and Important flags • Browse the month in Calendar, jump to a day, and batch-reschedule BUILD YOUR FOCUS RHYTHM • A clean Pomodoro-style focus timer • Focus stats for week / month / year and about seven days of Focus History from Today • Control focus from Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities • Free Home Screen widgets for Today and interactive Focus • No extra account—tasks and sessions stay on your device; with Pro, sync across devices with Apple iCloud QUEUE FOCUS PRO • Unlimited custom lists • Unlimited recurring tasks • Unlimited focus goals on tasks • iCloud sync • Longer focus history • Edit and add focus history Core task management (including batch), Today focus at any duration, up to 3 custom lists, up to 3 recurring tasks, up to 3 tasks with focus goals, Home Screen widgets, Focus Stats (week / month / year), about seven days of Focus History, Calendar month view, and upcoming dues remain free.
