1Thing for Mac helps you choose the one task that matters most and keep it visible until it is done. Everything stays on your Mac, the interface stays calm, and your workspace can be refreshed with photos from your Photos library.
1Thing keeps your main focus in front of you while the supporting tools stay nearby: quick tasks, notes, quotes, and a feed panel when you want them, hidden when you need deep work.
The Mac version keeps your data local and can use your own photos to make the experience feel personal every morning.
Set your focus, hide the widgets for deep work, refresh the background, and manage quick tasks and notes in one calm workspace.
