One Job

See one task. Do one task. Feel accomplished.

😵 The Problem

  • 47 browser tabs open, 3 todo apps, sticky notes everywhere
  • Context switching kills productivity (studies show 23 minutes to refocus!)
  • Traditional task lists create anxiety, not clarity
  • You spend more time organizing tasks than doing them

💡 The Solution

One Job is a revolutionary task management app that shows you only one task at a time. Built with a beautiful, swipe-to-interact mobile interface, it transforms how you work by eliminating distractions and decision fatigue.

Swipe right to complete. Swipe left to defer. That's it.

❓ FAQ

Q: What if I have 100 tasks?

A: You still do them one at a time. One Job just makes that obvious.

Q: What happens to deferred tasks?

A: They move to the bottom of your stack. They'll come back when you're ready.

Q: Is my data safe?

A: Your tasks are saved locally and to your backend. We don't track or sell anything.
