Do It Now is a procrastination killer for the little obligations that pile up in your head. Tidy your room, reply to a message, pay a bill or book an appointment. You do not need to solve everything. Start with one small move. START SMALL Add a task and get short, editable steps using local Apple Foundation Models on supported devices. Without Apple Intelligence, use editable basic checklists and choose your own steps. AI suggestions are yours to review. KEEP YOUR LOOSE ENDS TOGETHER Track up to five open tasks free, with unlimited subtasks and completed tasks. Set deadlines, check off progress and sync privately through iCloud across supported Apple devices. Work offline and sync later. PRO: BREAK THE DELAY LOOP Track unlimited open tasks. Breakthrough Mode proposes a tiny first move, then guides a 5, 10 or 15 minute sprint. Procrastination Rescue helps when a task feels too big or unclear; practical obstacles can wait for a better time. PROOF, NOT POINTS Pro Momentum shows confirmed starts, blocks overcome and tasks moved forward. Timing begins when you ask for Rescue, not from guesses about your thoughts. No XP or punishment for missing a day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Apple Intelligence runs locally on compatible devices. On devices without support, OpenAI is optional and requires your permission. With your permission, task titles, notes, deadlines, steps and your chosen blocker are sent through Cloudflare to OpenAI to generate suggestions. Internet access and Apple login are required. Retention follows provider policies. Revoke permission in Settings at any time; requests already sent cannot be recalled. Pro is an optional auto-renewable monthly or annual subscription. Pricing and renewal terms appear before purchase. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings.
