SingleThread

Process one reminder at a time

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your brain does one thing at a time — your list should too. SingleThread shows one Apple Reminder at a time for calm, focused momentum. Full functionality with a small one-time unlock fee, no subscriptions! Your task list should match how your brain actually works — one thing at a time. SingleThread turns your Apple Reminders into a single, calm, focused list. Instead of an intimidating wall of everything you "should" do, you see one clear reminder at a time, in order, and you process it — complete, skip, or delete — before moving to the next. It's built for people who feel overwhelmed, who are neurodivergent, or who simply want their to-dos to stop feeling like noise. Why it helps • One at a time. Your human brain does one thing at a time — your task list should reflect that. Just one reminder fills the screen, so every task gets your full attention. • Order that makes sense. Sort by priority, by due date (soonest first), or alphabetically. Pick whichever removes the most thinking. • No decision paralysis. See the reminder, act, move on. Fast. Smooth. Calm. Everything you need, nothing you don't SingleThread stays out of your way, but it's as full-featured — or as bare — as you want. Every capability can be turned on or off in one simple Settings screen: • Complete, Skip, or Delete each reminder with a tap, a swipe, or the action buttons. • Hide reminders from projects you don't want to see (with "Excluded Projects"). • Hide undated (someday) reminders, or show them when you're ready. • Show or hide reminder dates — keep the screen as minimal as you like. • Fast add by voice: dictate a reminder, complete with due date and recurrence, right from the microphone button (or hide it with one switch). • Change how it looks: System, Light, or Dark appearance, plus larger text sizes across the whole interface. Thoughtful by design • Works with your existing Apple Reminders — everything you've already captured stays right where it is. Two-way, in place. • Calm visual design that gets out of the way. Big, legible text. Nothing flashing at you. • Accessible — designed with clear hit targets, complete descriptions and labels, and full support for Apple's rendering commands. Built for quiet productivity Whether your to-do list is a source of anxiety or just a source of clutter, SingleThread gives you a smaller, softer way through it. One item at a time, in an order you choose, at the pace that feels right. Enable the features that help, hide the ones that don't. Your reminders. One at a time. In order. At your pace. SingleThread works with your existing Apple Reminders and syncs across your devices. Available on iPhone, and iPad, with a matching Apple Watch app and widgets; install on any one to get going. No account to create — your reminders stay in place.

Version 1.1 brings the first round of features since 1.0. Action buttons now appear by default on iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch, and you can still turn them off in Settings. Rescheduling is more reliable: the dialog has been redesigned, recurring reminders keep their schedule, and rescheduling from your watch now works. Reminders you complete elsewhere disappear promptly, and the widget refreshes within five minutes instead of fifteen. On the Mac, the menu bar gains a refresh spinner and shows the c and s keyboard shortcuts, and you can turn the dock widget off in Settings. A new completion-streak message appears when you finish tasks, tapping a reminder on your watch refreshes the list, and the About screen and translations have been tidied up.
