Daily focus, counted down

Five things. One ring. Done.

Minus 5 is the anti-bottomless to-do app. Pick the few things that matter, subtract them through the day, and stop when the ring hits zero.

Most apps count up. Minus 5 counts down.

The big number is what remains. Not projects, not folders, not a guilt pile. Just the distance between now and done.

1Add up to five things for today.
2Tap them off as the ring fills.
3When it hits zero, you have earned the day.

Small enough to use every day.

The app stays focused, but it still has the parts real life needs.

5

Earn more capacity

Start with five slots. Complete things over time to unlock higher levels when you actually need more room.

0

Finish-line sharing

Clear the ring and get a clean Day Cleared moment with one-tap sharing for the little win.

R

Recurring things

Daily, weekly, monthly, or custom reminders can reappear automatically without turning the app into a calendar.

W

Widgets and Watch

Keep the ring on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy, and Apple Watch complications.

S

Siri capture

Add a thing from the lock screen, AirPods, CarPlay, or Shortcuts when typing would slow you down.

A

Age badges

Unfinished things carry over with subtle age badges so stale tasks stop hiding in plain sight.
