the problem

most todo apps assume you'll naturally remember to open them. they assume you can prioritize easily. they assume organization comes naturally.

for many of us, these assumptions don't hold. we forget to check. we get overwhelmed by choices. we lose track of what matters.

quietask removes these assumptions. it meets you where you are.

instead of spending mental energy wondering if you took your keys, if you need groceries, if you should call your mom—it's all there. your head is free. you can actually hear what your kid is saying to you.

core features

designed for less
resistance

📍

live on lock screen

tasks appear directly on your lock screen and dynamic island. always visible, no app opening needed.

🧘

three anchor points

choose three moments to focus on today with times. they keep your day grounded without overwhelming you.

gesture-based

swipe right to complete, left to delete. haptic feedback. no menus, no tiny buttons.

🌿

calm by design

earth tones, serif fonts, generous space. nothing fights for attention. designed not to overwhelm.

neurodivergent-friendly

how your brain
actually works

traditional productivity tools assume neurotypical executive function. quietask doesn't.

01

working memory support

tasks live on your lock screen. you don't need to remember to check—the app reminds you passively, constantly, without being intrusive.

why this helps: when tasks must be remembered, they drain mental resources. when they're always visible, working memory is freed—you can use that energy for doing, not remembering.

02

reduced decision fatigue

choose three anchor points to keep visible. the app helps you filter out noise and focus on what actually matters right now. fewer choices, clearer focus.

why this helps: decision-making depletes limited cognitive resources. by limiting choices and using visual cues, you save mental energy for the actual work.

03

instant feedback

haptic buzz when you complete a task. visual progress circles. immediate strikethrough. swipe gestures that feel satisfying.

why this helps: adhd brains need immediate reward to maintain motivation. delayed gratification doesn't work well. instant feedback creates a completion loop that keeps you going.

04

executive function scaffold

write it down, the system holds it. getting tasks and thoughts out of working memory and into a reliable list frees mental capacity.

why this helps: holding tasks and thoughts in memory constantly drains cognitive energy. externalization—getting them out of your head and into the system—is relieving.

05

keeps context for you

tasks don't disappear when you get distracted. live activities and widgets keep them visible—always there when you come back. no wondering what you were doing.

why this helps: brains forget what you were doing. visible tasks mean you don't have to remember—they're there regardless.

06

sensory calm

muted earth tones. soft serif typography. no sharp alerts, no aggressive notifications. visual peace reduces overstimulation.

why this helps: many adhd brains are sensitive to sensory input. bright colors, harsh fonts, and notifications create overwhelm. calm design reduces cognitive noise.

design philosophy

most productivity apps are built for neurotypical executive function. they assume you'll naturally check them, prioritize correctly, and stay organized.

quietask assumes nothing about your brain. it meets you where you are, reduces every friction point, and makes the path from intention to action as short as possible.

because the goal isn't to change how your brain works. the goal is to design tools that work with your brain.
