Stop planning. Start finishing. OneTask enforces single-task focus with a timer that keeps you accountable. Built for builders who ship. Modern work doesn't fail because of a lack of tools. It fails because of distraction, overload, and constant switching. OneTask is built around a simple rule: Work on one task at a time — until it's done. No task lists. No priorities. No productivity noise. Just one task. One timer. Clear execution.
The distinction between "planning" vs "finishing" is spot-on - most productivity apps optimize for organizing tasks, not completing them. I've experienced the exact freeze you describe: knowing what to do but getting paralyzed by seeing the entire list. Enforcing single-task focus with a timer addresses the root cause rather than adding more features. The "no lists, no priorities, no juggling" philosophy is bold but makes sense for people who struggle with decision paralysis. Does the app support any kind of task queue in the background, or is it truly one-task-only with no preview of what's next?

This is a great observation and you’re describing the exact pain that led to OneTask.
To answer your question directly: yes, it’s intentionally one task only on the surface.
No visible lists. No priorities. No “what’s next” preview.
That constraint is the point.
Behind the scenes, you can capture ideas or tasks, but they stay out of sight until the current task is completed. The goal isn’t to remove choice forever, it’s to delay choice until action is finished.
For people who experience decision paralysis, seeing “what’s next” too early re-triggers planning mode and breaks momentum. OneTask protects the execution window by keeping attention locked on a single commitment.
Think of it less as task management and more as attention management:
Planning happens briefly
Execution happens fully
Switching only happens after completion
It’s not for everyone, but for people who freeze in front of long lists, this constraint has been surprisingly freeing.
Appreciate you calling that out so clearly 🙌
