A long to-do list doesn't calm you down. It makes starting harder. Ori — the planner you talk to — takes the opposite approach. Tell it everything — the errands, the half-formed ideas, the thing you've been avoiding for three weeks — and then it puts the pile away. What's on screen is one thing. The next one. HOW IT WORKS Talk to Ori the way you'd talk to a person. There are no checkboxes to tick and no lists to drag around — you say what's going on, and Ori sorts it out. - Say what's on your mind, all of it at once. Ori files it. - Today shows one thing. Everything else is held, not deleted. - Tap "I'm starting" and "I finished" — a line to cross, and a place to come back to. - Stuck? Ask Ori to break it down, and the task becomes steps small enough to begin. - Leave a note when you switch away, so picking it up again is cheaper. - Twice a day Ori checks in: what do you want to take on, and how did it go. WHAT ORI WON'T DO No due dates. Nothing turns red. Nothing is overdue, late, or behind. If yesterday's thing didn't happen, it's back at the top this morning — and what Ori says about it is why it's still worth doing, never that you let it slip. The pile is never held up to you as a problem. Built for people who have tried the big planners and bounced off them: ADHD brains, executive-function friction, anyone whose list has quietly become a source of dread. Ori is early. There's nothing to sign up for — open it and start. There are no ads and nothing to buy. Your tasks live in an account the app makes for you, with no name or email attached; signing in with Apple or Google is optional and only lets you reach the same tasks from another iPhone. What you write goes to our server and on to a language model provider so Ori can answer. You can delete the account and everything in it from Settings at any time. The details are in the privacy policy.
