Gentle Steps: Daily Planner

Write down what you want to get done today, in your own words. Gentle Steps turns it into a few small steps, works out the order they actually need to happen in, and gives each one a reminder at the right time. Works out the order for you Most task apps hand you a list and leave the hard part to you. Write "make bread, go to the shops for the ingredients, do some studying" and Gentle Steps knows the shopping comes first — and that the studying fits into the time the dough is rising. A goal becomes at most three steps. Nothing padded out. A reminder that arrives, then checks back Every step with a time gets a real notification. A little later, a quiet follow-up asks whether you managed to start — after 2, 5, 10 or 20 minutes, or not at all. You choose. If now isn't the moment, push that step back twenty minutes — or to tomorrow — straight from the notification. Built to be kind about it No streaks to break, no completion percentages, no points. Miss a day and nothing scolds you. Anything left over is offered back gently, and "leave them for now" is respected until tomorrow. On a hard day, tap Need a hand? to keep one step and move the rest to tomorrow.

A short video advert before each one is what pays for it — two or three for a very long list.
