The task is big. Your first step doesn’t have to be.
Just Start helps you begin the task you keep putting off. Describe what feels hard to start, find one small action, and take it into a short focus session.
MAKE THE FIRST STEP SMALLER
Ask the app’s AI for a concrete first step for your own task. Still feels like too much? Ask for a smaller action. If AI is unavailable, you can write your own step or use the timer directly.
START WITH TWO OR FIVE MINUTES
Begin a short session without answering a survey. Pause when you need to. Longer focus and break presets are available when you want more time.
SUPPORT WHEN YOU WANT IT
Choose visual timers and ambient sounds. Pro adds more sound options, mixing, and optional AI check-ins. These check-ins are automated messages, not a live person working beside you.
KEEP A LITTLE MOMENTUM
See your focus history and progress. Return to a recent task or use a routine for something you do regularly. Optional account sync is available; an account is not required to start.
START FREE
The free app includes up to three focus sessions and three AI task requests per day, core progress tools, and three ambient sounds. Pro adds unlimited focus sessions and expanded support. AI requires internet access and is subject to service limits.
PRIVACY
The timer and local progress work offline. When you request AI help, your task and relevant context are sent through our server to our AI provider. Optional account sync sends account and synced app data to our cloud service. Read the privacy policy before sharing sensitive task information.
