Next Small Step - To-Do List

Too big to start? Next Small Step breaks a large goal into small tasks you can begin right now, then shows you only the one thing to do next. Cleaning the house, doing your taxes, studying for an exam, job hunting, moving: start the thing you keep putting off with one small step today.

KEY FEATURES

■ Just one next step
Instead of a long list, the home screen shows one task, so you stop staring and start doing. Not feeling it? Push it to later, hide it until tomorrow, or pick another. Today's tasks, tasks due soon and tasks that fit your free time come first.

■ Match your energy and free time
Choose "low energy" or "only 15 minutes" and lighter or shorter tasks move to the front.

■ Help breaking things down
Type a goal name and a matching template is suggested. Choose from 240 templates in 12 areas (home, life, family, work, study, money and paperwork, health, mind and habits, people and events, hobbies, creating, digital); the 144 everyday templates are free. Edit the steps before adding them, and save your own templates (3 free).
No template fits? Split by pattern into 3, 5 or 8 steps, or use "just get started" for three tiny steps. "Split by questions" turns your answers into tasks. Or type a plan with one task per line: indented lines go inside the line above, and "(15 min)" at the end becomes the estimate.

■ Smaller and easier to start
Large or often postponed tasks get a hint to split them. Vague words like "handle" are pointed out, and action verbs like "open" or "call" are suggested as you type.

■ Tasks inside tasks, as deep as you like
No limit on goals or levels. Reorder and indent on the spot. Each task can hold an estimate, a due date, the energy it needs and a note.

■ Focus timer and breaks
Start with two minutes, your estimate, or no limit, and extend by +2 or +5 minutes. Pause, take a break, and your time is recorded. A notification shows the time left.

■ Today, due dates and estimates
Pick a few tasks for today and see their total time and anything due within a week.

■ Repeating goals
Daily, weekly or chosen weekdays: tasks reset at midnight for routines.

■ Reminders you can act on
Daily next step, per-goal times, due dates and an evening review. Tap Done or Later right in the notification.

■ Widget and Quick Settings tile
The widget shows your next step with a Done button; the tile opens its focus timer.

■ Track what you got done
Today's wins, a 7-day chart and your streak.

■ Works with AI assistants
"Ask AI" in a task's menu hands a ready-made request to the app you choose, then marks the task done and adds a "check the answer" task. Share an AI answer to "Add as tasks" and its headings and lists become tasks you can review first. The app has no AI built in and never sends your goals or tasks anywhere.

■ No guilt by design
Overdue tasks aren't shown in red by default, and estimates can be hidden.

■ Backup and CSV
Save everything to one file and restore it on a new phone, or export to CSV. Dark mode included.
