ActuallyDoIt

Focus on one thing at a time

Some days the hardest part isn't doing the thing — it's deciding what to do, remembering it exists, and not drowning in everything else. ActuallyDoIt is a to-do app for exactly those days.

Instead of a bottomless list, it shows you ONE thing to do right now. Everything else waits its turn.

Features

ONE THING AT A TIME

  • A single "Doing now" card keeps you on one task — with a big Done button and a guilt-free "Can't do this now" escape.
  • "Up next" shows a short, curated preview of what's coming — never the whole backlog.
  • A day-progress ring shows what you've already knocked out today.

NUDGES THAT ACTUALLY WORK

  • Choose how hard each task nudges you: Gentle (one morning reminder), Persistent (a few through the day), or Relentless (every hour, 9am–9pm, until it's done).
  • Reminders stop the moment you finish — no nagging about things you've already handled.
  • A friendly morning digest tells you what's on your plate for the day.

CAN'T DECIDE? LET THE APP CHOOSE

  • Tap "Pick for me" and ActuallyDoIt suggests one task to start — beating the decision paralysis when everything feels equally impossible.

CHORES & ROUTINES

  • Set recurring chores (daily, weekly, monthly, or every few days) that quietly come back when they're due.
  • Going away? Pause a chore so it stops nagging until you're back.

ADD IT ONCE

  • Every task lives in one place. Lists and goals don't hold their own copies — they gather tasks you already have.
  • The same task can sit in a list and a goal at the same time. Tick it off anywhere and it's done everywhere.
  • Gather tasks into a goal with one deadline and watch its progress fill up (Plus), or share a list with your household (Plus).

ORGANIZED, LIGHTLY

  • Tag tasks (Home, Work, Admin…) and filter down to just what matters.
  • Add a time estimate, so you can pick something that fits the time you actually have.
  • A Lock Screen Live Activity and Home Screen widget keep your current task in view.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

  • No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.
  • Your tasks sync across your devices through your own iCloud.
  • Free to use, with an optional tip if it helps you.

Built for anyone whose brain gets overwhelmed easily — but genuinely useful for anyone who wants to stop managing a list and start finishing things.
