Show HN: I built a to-do app that lets you only have five tasks

1 pointsby Swalden123over 2 years ago
Hi Guys,<p>I&#x27;m Spencer, I recently built Five to help me prioritize my day and stop me from making overwhelming to-do lists.<p>Five is a very simple app, you can only have Five outstanding tasks, and until you complete one you cannot add more.<p>Before Five, I would overwhelm my to-do lists with an endless amount of tasks, to the point where I needed to delete them. I had stopped keeping a to-do list completely before this app.<p>The app has helped me manage my ADHD by forcing me to priortize and complete tasks so I can add more, I am also better able to say no to new tasks now. It has also meant that I need to make the tasks small enough I can actually complete them, to be able to add new tasks to my list.<p>I built the app quickly and got it live because I think others could benefit from the concept of limiting your to-list like this. It currently is available on iPhone (iOS16+) only as I could build quickly that way using the latest features of SwiftUI. I build in public can you follow me on twitter for updates: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Swaldy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Swaldy</a><p>You can see the app in the app store here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apple.co&#x2F;3EmSwlz" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apple.co&#x2F;3EmSwlz</a>
