Autosave Notes

Keep rough notes, ideas, and reminders close by while staying on task.

Not another task manager.

1Thing works best beside the tools you already use. It keeps the main target visible when project boards, notes, calendars, and chats start pulling your attention apart.

Compared with Todoist

Todoist is great for lists and recurring work. 1Thing is for the one visible priority you want to finish today.

Compared with Notion

Notion can hold everything. 1Thing deliberately holds less, so your Mac workspace feels calmer and faster to start.

Compared with a wallpaper note

A static note fades into the background. 1Thing gives you focus mode, quick tasks, notes, Photos backgrounds, and a daily workspace.
