ParaCortex

Tasks That Work With You

Free · Designed for iPad

Not another to-do app. ParaCortex is for anyone who's stared at a task list and felt more stuck than when they started. Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, or just find your brain works better with the right support — this was built for you. We don't do "Overdue." We do Roll Forward. Tasks you didn't get to yesterday quietly carry forward to today. The ones you didn't finish this morning are still there this evening. No deadline labels. No shame spiral. Just your list, ready when you are. --- BREAK IT DOWN "Reply to emails" isn't a task. It's a wall. ParaCortex uses AI to break any goal into bite-sized micro-wins — 5-minute steps you can actually start. MATCH YOUR ENERGY Every task has an Energy Cost: Low, Medium, or High. ParaCortex groups your day into Morning Wins, Afternoon Focus, and Evening Unwind — so you work with your energy, not against it. FOCUS MODE When you're ready to begin, tap into a dedicated Focus screen. A circular countdown ring makes time feel tangible, not just countable. Pair it with built-in ambient audio — brown noise, rain, lo-fi — to create the conditions your brain actually needs to stay on task. YOU'RE NOT ALONE Body Doubling is the quiet magic of knowing others are working too. ParaCortex shows a live count of focusers in the room — no chat, no pressure, just presence. STAY ON TASK, EVEN WHEN YOU LEAVE Your current micro-win stays visible on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Out of sight shouldn't mean out of mind. GENTLE REMINDERS, NOT ALARMS Nudges arrive at natural transitions in your day — not as deadline warnings, but as open invitations to begin. CELEBRATE FOR REAL Every secured win triggers a full-screen fireworks moment. Your brain deserves the dopamine hit. --- ParaCortex isn't about doing more. It's about feeling less stuck — one small win at a time.

Focus Mode screen — when you start a task, you now get a dedicated focus view with a visual countdown ring and ambient audio controls, so you can stay in the zone without distractions. Tasks stay visible all day — a morning task you haven't done yet will now stay on your list in the afternoon and evening. No more tasks quietly vanishing because the time slot passed. Smarter roll-forward — tasks from previous days automatically carry forward when you open the app. Each day you haven't done it, you'll see how many times it's rolled — no guilt, just awareness. Recurring task fix — recurring tasks were reappearing immediately after being completed. Fixed. AI breakdown improvements — clearer messaging and better fallback handling when breaking tasks down into steps.
