Offload vs Do Instead

Your mind was never meant to be a to-do list. Offload is the calm way to get thoughts out of your head. Say it, type it, or snap it — "pick up painkillers when I get to the pharmacy" — and Offload understands what you mean, then reminds you at the right time or the right place. HOW IT WORKS 1. Release — tap anywhere and let the thought go, in your own words. 2. Understand — private AI turns it into a reminder with the right time, place and category. No forms, no fields. 3. Return — everything waits quietly on your horizon until the moment it matters. CALM BY DEFAULT No pings all day. The free plan delivers one quiet morning digest at the hour you choose — the horizon renews at dawn. SMART NUDGES (PRO) • Time and place: "when I get to the pharmacy" waits for your arrival. • Ask for a time, get that time: "meeting at 1, remind me at 12" fires at 12. • Sensible lead times: calls right on time, errands 45 minutes ahead, deadlines 3 hours early. CAPTURE ANY WAY YOU THINK • Voice capture in 8 languages, transcribed on device. • Photos & files (Pro): pick a screenshot — the lantern finds the words. • Import your open Apple Reminders in one tap. AN EVENING RITUAL Close the day with one breath per released thought. Lighter already. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No tracking. Your thoughts are never stored on our servers — your data lives in your iCloud and syncs across your devices. FREE & PRO Free: 5 releases a day and the morning digest — forever. Offload Unlimited removes the limits and unlocks smart nudges, photo capture and every horizon pack. Monthly, yearly (with 7-day free trial) or one-time lifetime purchase.

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.
