When I'm overwhelmed.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Messages to be sent, but no energy to even start.

I know exactly what I need to do. Request a sick day. Send mom a text. Reschedule a meeting with friends. It all adds up and I'm spiraling just thinking about it.

One plan. Whatever the day needs.

Reach out, cancel, ground yourself — it’s all just steps now, in one list you set up on a good day.

The I Need a Minute home — your plan ready to run, with a check-in and calm tools
  • Your steps, in your order

    Text your person, cancel the thing, block an app — set it up once on a clear day.

  • One tap, one at a time

    Tap to begin and it walks you through each step. No deciding what comes next.

  • Skip what you can't face

    Not up for a step today? Skip it. Doing one is a win.

  • A pulse-check, always there

    Not up for any of it? A gentle “I’m okay / not great” is one tap away.

Built for the hard days

Features that meet you where you are.

Not productivity tools. Survival tools.

FOCUS SHIELD

Block the noise.

One tap blocks distracting apps for 5, 15, or 30 minutes. Uses Screen Time so it actually works — no willpower required.

WIDGETS

Start from your home screen.

One tap on a widget begins your plan — or just glance at your next steps without even opening the app.

Bypass the invisible steps.

Standard apps assume a task is one step. We know it's actually a mountain of micro-decisions. Watch how we remove the friction.

THE GOAL

Call in sick.
