You don’t finish tasks.
You never start them.
FOCO is an ADHD planner app built for task paralysis. It turns any task into one tiny step you can actually begin, then stays with you while you do it.
From stuck to started
in three taps.
Say it
Hold the mic and talk. FOCO turns what you say into a task.
Or snap your list
Photograph a handwritten to-do list. It lands in your calendar.
Start one small step
A timer, calm music and a companion on screen. Just this step.
You have something to do.
But you don’t start.
20 minutes.
You sit there. Staring at the screen. Thinking. Not starting.
Anything else.
Anything else suddenly feels easier than the thing you should do.
An hour gone.
“Just a second” on your phone. You look up, and the morning is gone.
Later.
Tomorrow. Next week. And eventually, never.
Not because you’re lazy. Because your brain doesn’t know where to begin.
One tap. Five tiny steps.
Tell FOCO the task you’re avoiding. It plans the first steps for you, each with a time estimate, so starting takes three minutes, not willpower.
- Small first steps, timed
- Edit, reorder or add steps anytime
- Works from text, voice or a photo
A calendar that doesn’t judge.
Tasks sit in a built-in calendar by morning, afternoon or anytime, with reminders. Missed something? It simply moves on with you.

Quick answers.
What is task paralysis?
Task paralysis is the gap between knowing what you need to do and being able to start it. You are not avoiding the task and you have not forgotten it. You simply cannot make the first move. It is commonly described alongside ADHD, where it overlaps with task initiation, a recognized executive function. Read the full breakdown of ADHD task paralysis.
Can an app actually help with task paralysis?
It can if it targets the right moment. Most productivity apps assume you can start, so they hand you a longer list. FOCO gives you one subtask at a time, never the whole task, and an AI focus companion stays present while you work it. That combination is aimed squarely at the start, not at the planning. Compare apps for task paralysis.
Is FOCO an ADHD planner app?
Yes. FOCO is an ADHD planner app with a built-in calendar and reminders, built around the hardest part: starting. You add tasks by voice, text or a photo of a handwritten list, and one tap breaks a task into small, timed steps.
Is this just another to-do app?
No. To-do apps assume you can start. FOCO assumes you can’t, and solves that.
What if I’ve tried everything already?
That’s exactly who FOCO is for. Most tools fail because they expect motivation. FOCO removes the need for it.
Do I need ADHD?
No. If you struggle to start, FOCO helps. Diagnosed or not.
What if I lose focus again?
You will. That’s normal. FOCO is built for that. It gently brings you back, without guilt.
How much does FOCO cost?
The yearly plan is $59 a year and starts with a 7-day free trial in the App Store or Google Play. The monthly plan is $9 a month.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No commitment. No tricks. You cancel in the App Store or Google Play.
