Will it work for you?
This has been written by someone who has struggled to get things done, every day, for decades. Not by someone with theoretical knowledge, but by someone who knows that long messy lists don't work. They look nice, but starting them just doesn't happen. The easy things and fun things get done, but everything else is left until it's beyond urgent! Timers don't work for me either, they just make me panic. Just plain and simple, one job at a time. Even if I skip a task, it keeps coming back until my brain is ready to start the very first step.

No guilt-trip when you haven't completed everything.
Built for step-by-step progress on the things you want to get done

What do our testers say?
Faffalot is a highly customisable app which reduces the overwhelm from juggling life by helping to just focus on one thing at a time. It has a unique twist on to-do lists by allowing recurring routines, like morning routines, to mix in seamlessly with other tasks. Faffalot has helped me to get ready in the morning, to pack for holiday with a custom routine, and encouraged me to break down tasks into smaller pieces when I am struggling. I would recommend Faffalot to anyone who has given up on other to-do list methods or who struggle with feeling overwhelmed.
I have written this app to be exactly what I needed and am constantly refining it to fit the things I forget or get stuck on. It's been a lot of years in the making and I'm finding it really useful. I can add lots of tasks quickly, but because I am only seeing one task at a time I'm feeling less overwhelmed and am finding it easier to focus. The help me button is great for getting me started when I'm really stuck.
I am now consistently early for work every day and early for parkrun on a Saturday!
