An ADHD-friendly to-do list that keeps today doable.
Long lists get loud. ActionList is designed to quiet the noise — simplified views that show less at once, gentle nudges instead of guilt, and a focus timer that makes time visible. Many users find that fewer decisions make it easier to start.
Free plan available — no credit card required.
Simplified views, fewer decisions
Focus Mode strips the dashboard down to what's next — not everything you've ever planned. Less on screen is designed to mean less overwhelm and an easier first step.
Gentle reminders, not guilt trips
Reminders you can schedule, snooze, and reshape around your day. The goal is a nudge at the right moment — not a wall of overdue red.
A timer that makes time visibleLive Activities are Pro
Pick a session preset and the time remaining stays glanceable while you work — on iPhone, ActionList Pro even shows it in the Dynamic Island. Many users find a visible timer makes it easier to stay with one task.
Routines that carry the day
Turn repeating parts of your day into routines and habits, so the app remembers the structure and you don't have to rebuild it every morning.
How it works
Capture fast
Get tasks out of your head and into the list the moment they appear.
See only what's next
Simplified views surface today's few things, not the whole backlog.
Start one small session
A short focus session on one task is designed to make starting feel lighter.
