Gumption: Task Starter

Can't get started? Gumption picks one task, shrinks it to a first step and times it, so starting is the easy part.

Also for Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac and Windows. No account needed.

What it does

Picks one task for you from the time you have, whether you can leave the house and your energy, and says why.
Shrinks it to a two-minute first step, with ideas for common tasks like calls, forms and errands.
Times it with a visual timer. Commit to just five minutes if that's all you've got.
Rewards starting with XP and rewards you choose. Streaks never reset to zero.
Keeps Personal and Work apart, each syncing to its own Google account if you want.
Captures in seconds: type "call the bank tomorrow 2pm 15 min", speak it, or brain-dump a whole list.

How it uses Google

Signing in with Google is optional and only turns on sync. Gumption then stores your tasks in a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive, so your devices stay in step. It can't see your other Drive files, and there's no Gumption server: the developer never receives your tasks. You can sync with iCloud or a Microsoft account (OneDrive) instead.
