Focus Task: Focus on one thing

This app is perfect for people who get overwhelmed easily, have difficulty staying focused, or who need a nudge to move on to the next thing, to name just a few. Functionality could be improved somewhat I think, but even so it’s the best app I’ve found for my brain, after trying out countless others. Thank you.

I have been searching for this app for ten years and am so happy to have finally found it! I have ADD and can't work from a prioritized Task List. I have gone through 20 different programs and they all have the same problem. I start my morning by updating the list of things that I need to get done and then I click on Focus Task and it assigns a single task at random. The only discipline I need is to work on that one task and then I get the satisfaction of marking it complete and getting another one. I need to get stuff done, it doesn't really matter the order I do them. I keep a list of daily and weekly tasks to put into the app. I have separate categories for specific types of activities. For example, I have a cleaning category and each day I put Cleaning into my main list and then it picks a room at random. My wife is so much happier with me that I put 20 minutes into cleaning somewhere in the house each day! They will update the app with more features if people spend the couple of bucks on the pro version which gets you multiple categories. This app is work hundreds of dollars.

Love the simplicity. I’m sure I’ll use it often. Just would like to rename list if possible. Can this be done?

Great app since I have ADHD. Also this app is so underrated

I really like the app so far, it was exactly what I needed! Are there any plans to allow a user to pick a background color?

I like everything but wish there was a way to reuse the list by unchecking all. I use at least 2 of my lists on a daily basis but it’s annoying to have to uncheck all 20+ tasks at the end when I’m done. I would love a way to uncheck all. This app is amazing and I would use it for so much more! Like a master packing list, weekly chore list, even talking bullet points if there was a way to do one thing in order instead of just random. So I guess my 2 suggestions are: 1) an “uncheck all” button for unchecking all tasks so I can reuse a list easily (PLEASE MOST IMPORTANT). 2) a way to focus on just one task but not random (although this is not important).

You cannot choose which task shows up on the widget, or at least it’s not obvious how to do so.

I came to the App Store looking to see if this type of focus minded app existed (at 2AM while in bed - which is why I need this type of app) and was immediately impressed. The only thought that I have that could make it “better” would be a setting for Title Case font. It’s an OCD thing - not worth a loss of a star, but it would be awesome. Other than that, I love the simplicity. Premium is inexpensive and worth the upgrades. Thank you for making this!

1. The reviews. Very developer has less than perfect reviews. It was good to see rapid replies from Developer, showing they are there to help and improve. 2. Functionality of the app. Simple. No unnecessary flair. Focused; just like described (and desired). 3. “No Data Collected”. I’ve searched dozens of apps, for this type. I cannot believe how many collect batches of data that have absolutely nothing to do with the function of the app. Therefore, the other developers are mining data for income, making the value of their apps worthless, to me. To THIS Developer, much gratitude and respect to you. Thank you, for this excellent tool that improves my daily productivity.

This app gets 5 stars because it is absolutely outshines it’s competitors. It will arrange your tasks in alphabetical order to make it easy to see if you’ve already added a task easily. I get exhausted making decisions on what to prioritize and sometimes I just don’t get started. This makes the random choice for me and that way I can just get going rather than wasting time deciding what to what to do next. That’s said, I do have a a few improvements that would make it close to perfect. 1. Allow for tasks to be edited, 2. Ability to select lists to merge together. 3. Allow for the timer to keep going even if you leave the app.
