DoubleDone

Read full description

DoubleDone is a calm to-do list for adults with ADHD, autism, OCD and overwhelm. The home screen is Today, and only Today. Not your whole backlog, not a wall of overdue guilt, just a day sized to be doable. Nothing is ever overdue here. It just waits. When a task is too big to start, Break it down turns it into small steps, and ticking the last one finishes the real task. When today gets loud, Settle is a quiet room, always there and never earned. And the day closes gently, with zero guilt about what moved to tomorrow. There are no streaks, no scores, and nothing that shames you. A task is never punished for existing. What you finish, you keep: your Calendar shows everything you actually did, including the old dreaded things you finally closed, because that deserves to be seen. If you keep a list with somebody, Ours is one shared list for exactly two of you. Nothing on it says who did what, and nothing counts or compares, so it cannot become a scoreboard. A shared thing with a day on it, bin night on Tuesday, arrives on both your Todays by itself. Everything else, milk and batteries, stays on the list however long it gets, so your day stays yours. Tick it from either phone and it closes for both. It starts with a six-character code. DoubleDone is made in Melbourne by Melroy. He built it for friends with ADHD and OCD, and for anyone whose list has ever felt like too much.
