Our Story

We wanted a simple way to cut through noise. Not ten lists, not endless categories—just three things that truly matter today. 3ThingsPal is the minimalist companion that brings intentional focus to your day.

Daily Three Things

Record, manage, and complete your daily priorities. Progress feedback and simple completion flow keep momentum.

Lock Screen Widgets

Quickly view and update today’s three things from the Lock Screen and Home Screen.

Why Traditional Lists Fail ADHD Brains

Most apps become a "Wall of Awful"—a cluttered graveyard of overdue tasks that make you feel guilty. 3ThingsPal is different.

🛑

Stops the Overwhelm

You can't add a 4th task. This artificial constraint forces you to prioritize before you start, preventing decision fatigue.

No "Snowball of Shame"

Your list clears every night. No overdue tasks piling up. Every morning is a fresh start, guilt-free.

🧠

External Brain

Widgets and Live Activities keep your 3 tasks visible, so you don't forget what you're doing when you unlock your phone.
