Show HN: I built a to-do app that lets you only have five tasks
getfive.app
I'm Spencer, I recently built Five to help me prioritize my day and stop me from making overwhelming to-do lists.
Five is a very simple app, you can only have Five outstanding tasks, and until you complete one you cannot add more.
Before Five, I would overwhelm my to-do lists with an endless amount of tasks, to the point where I needed to delete them. I had stopped keeping a to-do list completely before this app.
The app has helped me manage my ADHD by forcing me to priortize and complete tasks so I can add more, I am also better able to say no to new tasks now. It has also meant that I need to make the tasks small enough I can actually complete them, to be able to add new tasks to my list.
I built the app quickly and got it live because I think others could benefit from the concept of limiting your to-list like this. It currently is available on iPhone (iOS16+) only as I could build quickly that way using the latest features of SwiftUI. I build in public can you follow me on twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/Swaldy
