Features & Capabilities

New: lock screen widgets keep your #1 priority visible at a glance, plus a focus bell to check in on your task. One-time $2.99 unlock — no subscription, ever.

Most productivity apps make you more stressed, not less. Endless lists, complex systems, notifications pulling you in every direction. Next Thing is different.

Built on the Ivy Lee Method — a century-old productivity system so simple and effective that it became the secret weapon of some of the world's most successful business leaders (Charles Schwab!) — Next Thing strips productivity down to its most powerful form.

Each evening, choose your most important tasks and rank them in order of priority. The next day, focus on one thing at a time. That's it.

We've heard from users with ADHD that this single-task approach is a game changer — no overwhelming lists, just the next thing in front of you.

How it works:

  • Add tasks to your list anytime a thought crosses your mind
  • Each evening, pick your top 6 and rank them by priority
  • The next day, focus on one task at a time — done or skip, nothing else
  • Build the habit with streaks, reminders, and satisfying completion moments

Next Thing Pro:

  • Lock screen widgets — see your #1 task without unlocking your phone
  • Home screen widget — see your #1 task without opening the app
  • Focus bell — set a reminder to check in on your current task
  • Streaks heatmap — track your consistency over time
  • Recurring tasks — daily habits auto-return to your list
  • Custom app icons — multiple colors to match your style
  • Focus screen themes — personalize your daily ritual
  • Unlimited task list

Your privacy matters. No account required, no login, no data sharing. Your tasks live on your device and nowhere else.

Stop managing your productivity system. Start doing your next thing.

I like the fact that it’s just a priority list. Not a habit tracker and calendar and all the things. It works for my daily routine, and the widget is great. I hardly open the app directly, I go through the widget

Wow this is exactly what I needed. It is simple and doesn’t require subscribing or linking any calendars. It helps my ADHD focus on one thing at a time. The widget is also perfect for what I want to see on my homescreen. I would recommend adding a feature to have your tasks show on the Lock Screen too
