Description
One Small Thing has one job. Tap one of three lines — bored, nothing sounds interesting, today felt like nothing — and it hands you a single card: one specific thing you could start in the next minute, plus why that one. Too much? Say "lighter". Then close the app and go do it. It works with the wifi off — no server, the whole 1,200+ library ships inside the app. No account. No analytics, no ads, no streaks, no push notifications. The app is a success when you've closed it.
