Some days the hardest part isn't doing the task โ it's choosing which one to start. So nothing gets started. Unstuck removes the decision. Dump every task you've been avoiding into one list, tap "Pick one for me," and the app randomly locks you into a single task with a calm, full-screen 2-minute countdown. That's it. One task. Two minutes. No deciding. Two minutes feels small enough to begin โ and beginning is the whole game. Tap Done when you start, or Skip to reshuffle. No streaks to break, no guilt, no nagging. Built for ADHD, executive-function challenges, and plain decision fatigue. โข Brain-dump your avoided tasks in seconds โข "Pick one for me" randomizer kills decision paralysis โข Distraction-free 2-minute countdown to make starting trivial โข Done / Skip โ Skip re-picks and leaves the current task for later โข "Got a minute?" or "got energy?" โ pick a task that fits how you feel right now โข Label the kinds of task you avoid โ and see which kind keeps waiting โข Momentum stats show how many tasks you've actually completed โข Recurring tasks for the things that pile up โข One gentle daily nudge at a time you choose โ quiet on days you've already started โข 100% on your phone โ no account, no login, no cloud, nothing tracked Free to use with up to 25 tasks, one recurring task, three "pick a task that fits" picks, two labels, this week's momentum count, and the daily nudge. Unlock Pro once โ a single purchase, no subscription โ for unlimited tasks, unlimited recurring tasks, unlimited fitted picks, up to six labels, and the full momentum grid with streaks and all-time totals. Stop staring at the list. Tap once and start.

Be the architect of time. Turn the dial, set the rhythm that feels right for you. Who said a second has to be a second? In the world you create, may you find your peace. Chronos is not another 25-minute timer. It is a focus clock built on one quiet truth: we all live in our own time. Some of us flow best at midnight. Some find our rhythm in the early morning. We each feel time differently โ what feels like a second to you might stretch into a minute for someone else. And all around us, every moment on this planet, life unfolds at its own pace: a bird takes its first flight, a snowball rolls down a hill, a whale grows beneath the waves. To notice this is to find peace. WHAT HAPPENS IN AN HOUR โข Twelve living watercolor worlds move with your clock. Watch a whale breach at dawn, mist drift over karst peaks, golden dunes shift in the wind, aurora dance across snow, and the galaxy bloom over midnight. The sun and moon trace real celestial arcs across the sky. โข The world responds to you. Brush the screen and wind ripples through the grass. Tap a bird and it banks away. Touch the water and waves spread outward. Every sound is synthesized from pure mathematics โ no recordings, no loops, just quiet, living whispers. โข Life grows as you work. Eagles court, brood, and hatch their young on the cliffside. Two ships cross the evening sea to meet. Your focus becomes their story. WHEN THE HOUR ENDS It burns. Gently, completely. Then you mark it: one needle, five weights of time, a line if you wish, and your seal. Every hour has its weight. THE FRUITS OF TIME Your history is not a spreadsheet. It is an orchard. Every day is a tree. Every focus session is a fruit. Weekends glow in terracotta. Scroll back through your seasons, and see your time bloom. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your hours belong only to you, and stay only on your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chronos at none against Unstuck's 3. Chronos also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Unstuck's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
