About this app

You sit down with ten things to do. Everything feels urgent. Instead of starting, you freeze. Stare at the screen, scroll your phone, reorganize the list by color. An hour disappears and nothing got done.

That's not laziness. It's cognitive overload: when everything feels equally urgent, your brain can't figure out where to begin. Untangle: Beat Procrastination is built to fix exactly that moment.

WHAT UNTANGLE DOES DIFFERENTLY
Most to-do apps hand you a longer list to manage. Untangle does the opposite. It turns your overwhelming list into one small step you can start right now.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Brain Dump. Type or speak everything on your mind: deadlines, worries, unfinished tasks, random thoughts. No folders, no categories, no setup required.
2. Meet Aaron. Your personal task mentor reads your brain dump and picks out the one thing to focus on first, breaking it into a step small enough to start immediately.
3. One Step at a Time. Instead of a long list staring back at you, you get a single, doable action. Finish it, and Aaron hands you the next one.

FEATURES
Task Breakdown. Turns big, vague tasks like "clean the kitchen" into small, concrete steps like "put one bowl in the sink."
Aaron, Your Mentor. A calm, encouraging guide that helps you decide what to do next. No guilt, no nagging, no shame.
Focus Timers. Built-in timers help you stay with one task without switching away halfway through.
Body Doubling. Work alongside a virtual presence that keeps you accountable and focused, even when you're on your own.
Zero-Setup Onboarding. No calendars to connect, no categories to build. Open the app, share what's on your mind, and get your first step in seconds.

WHO UNTANGLE IS FOR
If you've ever known exactly what you needed to do and still couldn't start, Untangle was built for that gap. It's for anyone stuck between a full to-do list and an empty sense of where to begin: students facing deadlines, professionals juggling too many priorities, and anyone tired of to-do apps that just make the list longer.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Traditional productivity apps assume your problem is organization. But if you're already overwhelmed, a better filing system doesn't help you start. Untangle is built around a different idea: the bottleneck isn't knowing what to do, it's the bridge between thought and action. So instead of asking you to organize, plan, and prioritize, Untangle removes all of that and hands you just the next step.

REAL PEOPLE, REAL RESULTS
Untangle has helped students push through to graduation, helped professionals clear task backlogs that had piled up for weeks, and helped countless people go from staring at a blank screen to finally getting moving. People tell us it's the first productivity app that didn't make them feel more behind than when they started.

A FEW THINGS PEOPLE ASK
Do I need to organize anything before I start? No. Skip the folders and categories. Just open the app and say what's on your mind.
What if my list feels too messy to explain? That's exactly what the Brain Dump is for. Messy is fine. Aaron sorts it out, not you.
Is this just another to-do list? No. To-do lists assume you're stuck on organizing. Untangle assumes you're stuck on starting, and solves for that instead.

GET STARTED FREE
Download Untangle, share what's on your mind, and let Aaron give you your first step. No complicated setup. No long tutorials. Just one small step, right now.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your brain dumps and tasks are yours. Untangle is built with privacy in mind, so you can share what's really on your mind without worry.

Untangle helps with: procrastination, task paralysis, overwhelm, mental clutter, motivation, to-do lists, task management, study deadlines, work overwhelm, and getting started on anything that feels too big.

Still needs some tweaking by developers... There's multiple pages in the intro that won't let me scroll to read the rest, and when it made a task list from my initial brain dump, it assigned each "microtask" 10 minutes whether it was a 30min subtask or a 30 second subtask. One of the responses said you don't have to pay or do the free trial, that there was a free with ads option, but it won't let me past the free trial page unless I set up a paid subscription! And the free trial is only 3 days.

Thanks for the feedback! The free trial doesn't charge anything upfront, and if you ever forget to cancel, reach out to us on the same day and we've got your back. Scrolling and 10-min microtask issues are on our immediate fix list, thanks for flagging that — Rohan, Founder

Seems like a nice program and would love to try it BUT 3 days trial then $49.99 for a year but will get a reminder before trial end?? it is a 3 day trail..... or $9.99 per week and no trial just pay. Just a very short or no time to try it out. Why not a 30 day trial or at minimum 2-3 weeks. I like what I saw. I wish the task were be adjust as part are for the work day and person time. I really think I would like the app but just not sure it is worth the price.

Hi Christian, thanks for the feedback! We keep the trial short because most users know within a few days if Untangle is right for them. At less than $5/month on the annual plan, we believe the ADHD-focused support and productivity gains make it well worth the cost. For work vs personal time, you can already set block hours in Persona Settings. 🙏

UPDATE: Tried it & app forced me to watch 3 ads after adding only 3 tasks. The opposite of productivity. Original review: Seems interesting based on initial questions, but it wasn't clear that this is a paid app. Eventually you have to accept a "Free Trial" to actually use the app. It only says there will be a reminder before being charged, but no details about what the price actually is. ADD = never remembering to cancel before a "Free Trial" period ends, so the experiment ends here for me.

UPDATE: To be upfront about the why: the ads are what let us keep Untangle free and available to the whole ADHD community, and premium simply removes them for those who'd rather go ad-free. The quota under the Profile section clearly shows what's included in free usage.
