Only This vs Galleyhear

Most task apps show you everything at once. Every project. Every deadline. Every unfinished thing. All competing for your attention before you’ve even started. For some people, that can be stressful. For an easily distracted mind, it can be paralyzing. Only This does the opposite. It shows you one task. The one you should be working on right now. YOUR NEXT STEP
 Add your tasks, and Only This shows you just one. Full screen, nothing else competing for attention. Finish it, and the next one appears on its own. SKIP IT, OR GO BACK
 Not the right moment for this one? Skip it for now and it comes back around later. Changed your mind about something you already finished? Go back a step, as many times as you need. SEE EVERYTHING, WHEN YOU WANT TO
 Open All Steps anytime for the full picture. Reorder your list, jump straight to any task, or paste in a whole list at once, your own or one made with the help of AI. Shuffle the order if a routine chore needs to feel a little less routine. WORKS WITH REMINDERS
 Link a project to a Reminders list and the two stay in sync in both directions. Ask Siri to add a step by name, and it shows up in Only This on its own. MADE FOR IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC
 Your projects sync through iCloud, so it's the same list wherever you pick it up. BUILT FOR EVERYONE
 Only This works fully with VoiceOver, because a calmer task list shouldn't be for sighted users only. Free of clutter. And Cost. No charge, no subscription, no ads, no account required. Because if you're of the easily distracted mindset, things are costly enough. ONLY THIS A quieter way to get one thing done. And then the next. WHY I MADE THIS I have ADHD, and I lean on tools that help me stay focused. I tried a lot of task list apps made for people like me. Some wanted to gamify everything. Some had distracting ads. Some charged on a regular basis for an app that didn't update on a regular basis. I couldn't find the one thing I wanted: a task list that shows a single step and then gets out of the way. So I built it. If it's useful to you, or you'd like an improvement, or you hit a bug, reach out. I'd genuinely like to hear from you. You'll find my email in the app, under "Only This Tutorial and Tips." One thing at a time. You've got this. Jason

Galleyhear is an offline manuscript proofing workstation built around a simple editorial truth: your ears catch what your eyes learn to skip. Import a manuscript, report, galley, or scanned draft. Galleyhear reads it aloud with word-level tracking while you mark the exact moments that sound wrong. When the pass is over, review the issue log, inspect conservative listening signals, resolve edits, and export a plain-text proofing report for your next revision. PROOF BY EAR • Mark an issue at the current spoken word without stopping the pass • Classify missing or repeated words, cadence, pronunciation, numbers or facts, clarity, and other concerns • Add an editorial note or save the passage and category on their own • Reopen or resolve issues as the manuscript changes • Jump from any issue or listening signal directly back to its source passage A REPORT YOU CAN USE • Word, sentence, paragraph, and estimated proof-listen counts • Average sentence length and number-heavy passage awareness • Explainable flags for unusually long sentences and adjacent repeated words • Repeated three-word phrase review, ranked by frequency • Exportable report combining your issue log with the listening signals Signals are prompts, not corrections. Galleyhear does not claim to judge grammar, meaning, style, or factual accuracy. It shows the passage and the reason it was surfaced; the writer remains the editor.
