To-Do Focus Lock — Shotlinq

You don't have a productivity problem. You have a to-do list that keeps growing.

Every other to-do list app lets you add another task. That's the whole business model — capture everything, feel busy, finish nothing. This focus to-do list does the opposite.

You lock the list shut. And it stays shut until you're done.

HOW THE LOCK WORKS

Add your tasks. Lock the list. Now you cannot add anything new until every task on it is complete. No escape hatch, no "just one more." The only way forward is through.

It sounds harsh. It's the reason it works. A to-do list you can always add to is a to-do list you can always avoid.

WHO THIS IS FOR

- People whose task list has 60 items and always will
- Anyone who plans beautifully and finishes nothing
- Students who need to focus on one set of tasks at a time
- Anyone who has tried every productivity app and quit them all

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

If you want folders, tags, sub-projects, and a colour-coded productivity system, this isn't your app. There are excellent ones out there. This one has a single opinion and holds it.

FEATURES

- Lock the list — no new tasks until the current ones are finished
- Clean, distraction-free focus mode
- Reminders that don't nag
- Works offline
- No account required to start
- No ads

WHY A LOCK INSTEAD OF A STREAK

Streaks reward showing up. Locks reward finishing. Most to-do apps make you feel productive while your list quietly doubles. This one makes finishing the only available move.

Lock the list. Finish the tasks. Then, and only then, add more.
