Built for ADHD brains
Dump it all.
Do one thing.
First Star takes the pile in your head, picks the few things that matter today, and hands you a first step so small you can start it right now.
Launching soon on iOS and Android, free tier included. We send one email when the beta opens.
How it works
From a full head to one clear step
Brain dump
Tap anywhere and type what's circling in your head. Each thought drifts off to become a star. Repeat until your head is empty. No folders, no guilt.
AI triage
The AI picks the 3 to 5 things that matter today, and you watch the plan land task by task, each with a tiny first step and a time estimate.
Focus
One task on a calm, dimmed screen, with a gentle timer for company. Everything else waits its turn.
Win
Finish and it counts. Wins add up for good: the total never resets and never goes backwards.
Why it works
Different on purpose
It decides, so you can start
Decision paralysis is the real wall. First Star picks today's short list for you. You can swap things out, but you begin from a plan instead of a blank page.
First steps, shrunk
The app shrinks “do taxes” to “open the folder”. When the first step takes two minutes, starting stops being the hard part.
No streaks. Ever.
A missed day breaks nothing and shames nobody. We removed streaks on purpose: your total only counts up.
Private by design
Your brain dumps are sensitive. We never log their contents on our servers, and no AI model trains on what you write.

FAQ
Fair questions
Is this another to-do list?
No. Lists show you everything and ask you to choose. First Star shows you one thing and asks you to start. The rest of the pile stays out of sight until it's that task's turn.
What happens if I disappear for a week?
Nothing bad. You have no streak to lose and no red badge waiting. Your wins sit exactly where you left them, and the app greets you the same way it always does.
Why no streaks?
Streak chains punish the exact brains this app serves. One bad day shouldn't erase thirty good ones, so we count lifetime wins instead: a number that only goes up.
What does the AI actually see?
The app sends your dump once for sorting, and the sorted list comes straight back. We don't store or log dump contents, and no AI model trains on your words. The AI key never lives on your phone.
