Coming soon to iOS and AndroidMost to-do apps keep adding — more lists, more labels, more pressure. Focus Three does the opposite. Three tasks. That's the point.
Why it's different
Gentle prompts grounded in behavioral science, not gimmicks.
No account, no sign-up. Your tasks never leave your device.
No streaks, no scores, no guilt — just steady progress.
What you get
A hard limit of three keeps you focused on finishing, not collecting.
Tie a task to a moment — "right after lunch" — so it actually starts.
Get a suggestion matched to your energy, time, and mood.
Every finished task is marked — and kept in your timeline.
Everything lives on your device, so it's fast and always available.
A range of hand-crafted color themes, light and dark.
A little science
Attaching a concrete "when and where" to a task — an implementation intention — is one of the most replicated findings in behavioral psychology for getting hard things started. Focus Three lets you add one in a single tap, and never nags if you don't.
When you can't decide what to do, the app offers a small, doable next step tuned to how much energy and time you have right now — lowering the barrier to begin instead of piling on more.
No streaks to break, no scores to chase. Research on self-compassion shows a guilt-free approach is more sustainable than one built on pressure — so that's the one we built.
Designed around evidence, kept deliberately simple.
