of endless lists.

Watch the transformation: from overwhelming to focused
The real problem isn't that you're unproductive.
It's that you're trying to hold too much.
The Cycle
You wake up to 47 tasks. Add 12 more by lunch. Check off 3. Feel like a failure. Take the anxiety home. Repeat tomorrow.
Why This Happens
Every productivity app lets you add infinite tasks. Your brain treats them all as urgent. You're not lazy—you're overwhelmed by unlimited possibility.
The Solution
What if you could only choose 5 tasks for today? Not hide the others. Actually close the list. Force the choice. Feel the relief.
One rule. Four periods. Zero overwhelm.
"Lists close. You choose 3-5 tasks. When you're done, the list is done. Tomorrow is tomorrow."
Why 3-5 tasks?
Your brain's working memory holds about 4 items at once. When you see 47 tasks, your brain treats them all as active threats—constant scanning, constant anxiety. When you see 3, it can actually commit. This isn't artificial limitation. It's working with your biology, not against it.

"But I have 100 tasks. Where do they go?"
They go into FlowPad—your AI-organized thought bank. Brain dump everything. The AI structures it, links it, prioritizes it. When you plan your next period, you pull from there.
The key difference:
FlowPad isn't a to-do list. You're not ignoring tasks—you're acknowledging that not everything is today's problem.

Why I Built KeyTasks
After years of drowning in endless todo lists and productivity apps that promised everything but delivered overwhelm, I realized the problem wasn't how we manage tasks—it was how many we try to manage.
I watched brilliant colleagues burn out not from lack of productivity tools, but from having too many options, too many open loops, too many "urgent" things competing for attention. The solution wasn't another feature—it was intentional limitation.
KeyTasks was born from a simple belief: your brain works better with boundaries. When you can only choose 3-5 tasks, you choose the right ones. When lists close, your mind can finally rest.
The Mission
To help knowledge workers reclaim their mental clarity by embracing the power of focused, closed lists. Less is more isn't just a design principle—it's a path to sustainable productivity and peace of mind.
Questions everyone asks:
What if my boss assigns me 20 tasks a day?
Then your job has a capacity problem, not a todo app problem. But here's what users tell me: when they show their manager "these are the 5 things I can do well today," it starts better conversations about priorities.
What about tasks I can't forget?
They go in FlowPad or future periods. The anxiety of "I'll forget" is real—KeyTasks doesn't delete anything. It just asks: is this TODAY's problem?
This sounds like artificial limitation. Why not just discipline?
Because discipline is a finite resource. Environmental constraints work better than willpower. Apps that show 100 tasks require constant discipline to ignore 95 of them. Closed lists remove the choice.
Can I break the rules?
You can add emergency tasks. But the app will ask you to remove something else first. It's not tyrannical —it's a forcing function.
