In plain words
One Big Thing is a productivity app that helps users focus on their most important daily task. Users enter one main goal each day along with a few supporting tasks, then check the app throughout the day to stay on track. The app resets each day, providing a fresh start. Designed for iOS users who want a straightforward alternative to sticky notes, it keeps daily goals accessible and organized in one place.

The simple app to keep you focused on your biggest task every day. Every day, you type in one big thing you want to do. Add a few little tasks you might also want to get done. Check the app during the day to focus on your goals. Next day it’s a blank slate. That’s it? Yeah! Trust me, it totally keeps your aim on the game. I used to track my daily goals on a sticky note. It worked pretty well, but I’d often forget to fill it out or I would lose the paper during the day. So, I made this simple app that works way better! It’s with me wherever I take my phone and it gives me a friendly nudge every morning to fill in the things I want to focus on. I can also add in tasks for tomorrow…from onebigthing.co
