Deep Task
Become a Deep Work Master
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn big goals into focused sprints. Break work into steps, time-box every session, and build an unstoppable streak of deep work—one meaningful task at a time.
Deep Task helps you do focused, deliberate work instead of drowning in an endless to-do list. Most productivity apps just give you more places to pile up tasks. Deep Task does the opposite: it pushes you to pick one clear goal, break it into small steps, set a timer, and actually get into the zone. Focus isn't something you're born with. It's a skill you build, one session at a time.
BREAK BIG GOALS DOWN
Big projects feel overwhelming because they're vague. Deep Task fixes that. Name the one outcome you're working toward ("finish the quarterly report," "study chapter 4," "ship the landing page"), then split it into concrete, bite-sized subtasks. A clear goal gives every session direction, and a short checklist turns an intimidating project into a series of small wins you can actually finish.
WORK IN FOCUSED SPRINTS
Every task gets a time box and a built-in countdown timer with a clean visual progress ring. You see both elapsed and remaining time at a glance, so you always know where you stand in the session. Need to step away? Pause and resume without losing a second. Your progress is saved automatically, even if you close the app. Gentle prompts discourage mid-session breaks and keep you in the deep-work zone until the timer is done, then celebrate when you cross the finish line.
CHECK IT OFF
Deep Task is about finishing real work, not just logging hours. Complete your subtasks within the time box and check them off one by one. When the last box is ticked, the task is done, celebrated, and archived. No busywork, no lingering clutter. If you finish early, the app encourages you to use the remaining time to polish and improve rather than rushing off.
PLAN YOUR DAY
Lay out your day on a clean, vertical timeline in the Schedule tab. Create deep-work blocks and choose exactly how they repeat:
- Everyday blocks for your daily routine
- Weekly recurring blocks for specific weekdays
- One-off blocks for special days and events
Set start and end times in simple 15-minute increments, and automatic overlap protection keeps your schedule conflict-free. Attach tasks directly to any block, then open it to see its time range and everything you've planned to get done.
SEE YOUR WHOLE WEEK
Tap into Week at a Glance to view all seven days at once, complete with block and task counts for each day. Jump straight to any day to plan ahead so you're always one step in front of your week instead of scrambling to catch up.
BUILD UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM
Consistency is the real productivity superpower, and Deep Task makes it visible. The Momentum calendar highlights every day you completed deep work, turning your effort into a streak you won't want to break. The Completed tab keeps a tidy history of finished tasks, organized by day with clear "Today" and "Yesterday" labels, plus stat cards showing what you've completed today, this week, and all-time. Watch the numbers climb and let your own track record keep you going.
A HOME BASE THAT KEEPS YOU MOVING
Your home dashboard greets you by time of day and surfaces what matters most: your active tasks, your current focus streak, and how much you've completed this month. Add tasks and subtasks on the fly, swipe to clear what's done, and move through everything with smooth, distraction-free navigation.
WHO IT'S FOR
Deep Task is built for knowledge workers, students, writers, developers, consultants, and anyone who wants to trade scattered, reactive busywork for calm, focused progress. If vague to-do lists and constant context-switching leave you busy but not productive, this is your reset.
Stop juggling everything at once. Do one meaningful thing at a time and build the momentum to keep going.
