One Task

Show a single task on your Home Screen or Lock Screen.

Add some tasks to the app and then add the widget. Simply tap the widget to mark the task as completed. The next task will then appear.

The simplicity is a feature. The app will not have things like folders, tags, priority, notes, etc.

The optimal workflow in One Task is to add only the tasks you’re committed to completing today. The app is designed for task completion, not endless organization and neglect.

You can achieve almost anything in life — as long as you focus on achieving one thing at a time. It’s a time-tested strategy that’s been shared by many successful people.

How is this different from your One Thing app?

One Thing lets you put a single piece of text in the menu bar. This app is focused on tasks, and allows you to queue multiple tasks, and check them off upon completion. This app is also available on iOS and uses widgets instead of the menu bar.

Does One Task integrate with other todo apps?

No, One Task deliberately avoids automatic integration with other todo apps. Most todo apps encourage task hoarding, leading to overwhelm and inaction. One Task focuses on actionable items you commit to completing within the day. Manually select your highest-priority tasks and add them to One Task for focused execution.

Why doesn’t One Task have folders, tags, or priorities?

One Task is designed for action, not endless categorization. It omits features like folders, tags, and priorities to eliminate distractions and decision fatigue. The app’s core functionality is to help you commit to and complete tasks today.

Why is this free without ads?

I just enjoy making apps. Consider leaving a nice review on the App Store.
