About 3 Things Pal : ADHD To-Do List
If you have ADHD, you probably have a productivity app graveyard on your phone. Todoist lasted three days. Notion's setup became its own procrastination project. Apple Reminders turned into a wall of red overdue badges that made you feel worse, not better. The problem was never your discipline. Traditional to-do lists are designed for brains that can hold a long list and methodically work through it. That's not how ADHD works. A long task list doesn't create clarity — it creates paralysis. Every undone task adds to the "Snowball of Shame": that growing pile of things you said you'd do but didn't, silently eroding your confidence. 3ThingsPal was built specifically to break this cycle. THE CORE IDEA: ONLY THREE THINGS Every morning, 3ThingsPal asks you one question: What are the three most important things you want to accomplish today? Not ten. Not "brain dump everything." Three. This isn't arbitrary. The "Rule of Three" is one of the most validated focus techniques in ADHD coaching and productivity research. When you limit yourself to three tasks, you eliminate decision paralysis. You stop wasting mental energy figuring out what to do, and start doing. THE DAILY RESET: NO GUILT CARRIED FORWARD Here's what makes 3ThingsPal fundamentally different from every other task app: your list clears every day. Didn't finish something yesterday? It's gone. No red badge. No overdue counter. No shame. Tomorrow is a fresh start with a fresh question: What matters today? This is intentional. For ADHD minds, yesterday's unfinished tasks aren't motivating — they're paralyzing. The daily reset means you never open the app to a wall of failure. You always open it to a clean slate and a simple question. If something was truly important, you'll choose it again today. If it wasn't, letting it go is the right call. DESIGNED TO STAY VISIBLE ADHD often comes with "out of sight, out of mind" — if your tasks aren't visible, they don't exist. 3ThingsPal puts your three priorities everywhere: Home Screen widgets show your tasks at a glance. Lock Screen widgets mean you see them every time you pick up your phone. Live Activities keep your current focus in the Dynamic Island or on the Lock Screen — a persistent, gentle nudge. Apple Watch app lets you check off tasks from your wrist without getting pulled into your phone (and its infinite distractions). THE FEELING MATTERS Completing a task triggers a satisfying visual celebration — because ADHD brains run on dopamine, and small wins need to feel like wins. Progress rings fill up throughout the day, giving you visual proof that yes, you did accomplish something meaningful. You can customize themes, colors, backgrounds, and app icons. This isn't vanity — for many neurodivergent users, aesthetic friction is a real barrier to opening an app consistently. WHO 3THINGSPAL IS FOR People with ADHD who have tried every productivity system and felt broken when none of them stuck. People with anxiety who are overwhelmed by their to-do list. Busy parents who need to focus on what actually matters today. Students who struggle with prioritization. Minimalists who believe less structure leads to more action. Anyone who's read "Why I Limit Myself to Just Three Tasks Per Day" and thought: I need that as an app. PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No account. No cloud sync. No tracking. No analytics. Your daily three are nobody's business but yours. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Unlock extra themes, custom app icons, and premium widgets. Weekly ($0.99), yearly ($5.99), or lifetime ($9.99). The free version is fully functional — Premium is for people who want to customize the experience. You don't need a better system. You need a simpler one. Three things. That's it. Start today.

What’s new
Version 6.6 · Updated October 16, 2026
Our biggest update since 6.5 — your three things, looked after from morning to night. • A new Today screen: it greets you by name, shows three open slots at a glance, and fills with a tap. • Didn't finish yesterday? Leftovers wait at the top of today. Bring them over or let them go — your call. • All three done? Close the day with one line, share a card, and plan tomorrow's three tonight. • Evening check-in: tick off what's still open right from the notification. • New Day Starts At: set it as late as 6 AM, so a late night still counts as today. • Later (Premium): park what doesn't fit today and pick it up when a day has room. • Trends & Search (Premium): completion rate, streaks, a six-month heatmap, and search across every thing and day note. • Tick things off right on the Home Screen widget (Premium), and add a thing from Control Center. • A new welcome: name yourself, write today's three, pick a color and icon, then press and hold "I Commit". • Liquid Glass on iOS 26, custom theme colors, and text that follows your Dynamic Type size.
