For the things with no deadline
Someday now has an alarm.
The drawer, the stretches, the thing you keep meaning to sell. My Daily Thing picks one, tells you when, and asks for ten minutes.
Five minutes before each alarm, the countdown shows up on your lock screen. Start right there, or say you’re busy.
Someday
I’ll do it someday? Someday is today at your next break.
Some things never get a deadline, so they never become urgent, so they never get done.
Put them in a list. My Daily Thing keeps the line moving and rings for whatever is first, inside the hours you said it may interrupt you.

- Back up the photos10 min · done 3 times

A thing you finish goes to the back.
No dates. Just a line, and an alarm for whatever is first.
No thinking
Don’t think. Here’s what’s next.
You never open a list of forty things and choose. It picks one and puts it in front of you, with a Start button.
Not in the mood for that one? The next few are right below. Swapping costs nothing.

That drawer takes ten minutes. You’ve avoided it for two years.
Every thing gets a time box. Ten minutes, unless you say otherwise.
When the time is up you tap Done or Partially done. Both count, and the day moves on.
Organize & Clean
Both count for today. Partially done keeps it first in line.
This clock started when you opened the page. That is how long ten minutes is.
The sarcastic friend
Your to-do list is too polite.
It waits quietly while you ignore it. This one rings a real alarm, and it has opinions. Skip a thing and it comes back at the next alarm, a little less patient each time.
- First alarm“You knew this was coming.”
- Skipped once“Again. I can do this all day.”
- Skipped three times“Round 4. This is getting awkward.”
- Skipped five times“Attempt 6. I have all day. Do you?”
- Left for twelve days“It has been waiting 12 days. No pressure.”
- Last alarm of the day“Last call before your streak pays for it.”
- Ahead of schedule“Early is a strange look on you. I like it.”
The app’s own lines. It has more.
Not another to-do app
Your calendar handles what’s urgent. This handles everything else.
| What | A to-do list | My Daily Thing |
|---|---|---|
| What goes in | Things with a date | Things you keep putting off |
| Who picks the next one | You, every time | It does |
| If you ignore it | It waits. Politely. | It rings. A real alarm, not a notification. |
| What piles up | Overdue, in red | Nothing. There’s only what’s next. |
| What it asks for | The whole task | Ten minutes |
Nothing is ever overdue. There’s only what’s next.
Stop procrastinating with 10 minutes a day.
It picks the thing. It rings the alarm. You do it.
