WHY IT WORKS

Writing down tasks closes the open cognitive loop running in your brain. Even if the task is not immediately done, dopamine is released, driving motivation and a sense of achievement.

THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES

Every unclosed loop is driving low-grade static noise in the background, small, constant, and causing stress. Stress drives inflammation among other things, and impacts sleep, which is key for system recovery. Read more on this in the book Halftime.

HOW YOU USE IT

1. Type, or use the microphone to add. Just hit enter. One press is all it takes.
2.  Share it, progress it, reorder it and get it done.
3. Receive tasks or updated tasks from others

Kill procrastination and disorganisation dead.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DOWNLOADING

• The app is free. No catch. 
• No ongoing subscriptions
• No in-app purchases or offers
• No ads
• No tracking
• No data in the cloud. Your data is only on your device
• You share using standard messaging capabilities, no "connecting" or "finding" other users first. 
• No logins or account. No email required.

When you use our App, your to-dos live on your device only: no cloud storage, no cross-device logins, no accounts, no security hoops to jump through. Nothing leaves your phone. That also means there's no infrastructure to maintain, so there's no subscription to charge you for it. If you change phones, back up or take a screenshot first.

SHARING

Sharing of to-dos is done via messaging, text, WhatsApp, Airdrop, Email, you name it. It is manual, so the user has to accept it and can then update back the same way. This ensures maximum data privacy and security, as you would only accept to-do stacker app links from people you know.

UPDATES

Once you have the App, all future updates are included and free. This is part of the Apple App Store policy, so you buy this once.

We get requests to add this or that, and while tempting, "No". We want to keep this as clean and simple as possible, allowing users to quickly and easily park their to-dos to avoid continuous loops and get back to whatever they were doing.

THE SCIENCE

1. The Zeigarnik Effect

Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik discovered in 1927 that people recall uncompleted tasks roughly twice as well as completed ones. The brain maintains a persistent low-level alert for open loops, a cognitive spotlight that stays lit until the task is resolved. This is why unfinished items follow you, wake you up at 3 am.

The Waiter Observation: In the 1920s, Zeigarnik noticed waiters in a busy café had a flawless memory for complex, unpaid orders, but once the bill was paid and the task was finished, they immediately forgot the details of the orders.

Unfinished tasks can create intrusive thoughts that interfere with new tasks and degrade performance. The constant mental "nag" of open loops consumes cognitive resources, leaving less mental space for creativity, focus, decision-making, and enjoying life. (1)

2. The Masicampo & Baumeister study (2011)

Masicampo and Roy Baumeister published a study. The finding: Creating plans produces cognitive closure effects remarkably similar to those of actual completion. Translated: You don't have to finish the task to get the mental relief.

Writing it down with a plan is enough. Even making a clear plan for when you'll complete a task can relieve that tension, freeing your attention for the work you're doing now. (2)

3. Cognitive offloading research

Working memory can hold about 4 chunks of information at once, and those chunks fade within 15 to 30 seconds without active rehearsal.

Writing tasks down is a strategy called cognitive offloading, moving intentions from limited working memory onto an external surface. Offloading frees up mental bandwidth, lowering anxiety and preserving attention for deep work. (3)

2021 study in The Journal of Occupational Health Psychology found that individuals who used organisational tools such as to-do lists, calendars, and project management apps experienced lower levels of work-related stress. (4)

4. The completion/dopamine loop

Breaking complex work into smaller, independently completable segments provides regular closure experiences. Each mini-completion delivers a neurochemical reward, building motivation while preventing cognitive overload that can occur when multiple projects remain unfinished simultaneously. 

This is the "Done" column in the to-do parking stacker app. Ticking something off isn't trivial; it's a genuine neurochemical signal.

Why would you develop a to-do list App?

Because all the Apps I have tried are over-engineered, well, for me anyway. Taking up too much admin time. 

As we age, we need a place to park actions or thoughts, so we can relax or even sleep. Put your to-dos down, and they will be there tomorrow. Make it easy to use; logging in just needs the entry key, not a separate movement or button. Make it easy to navigate. Big font, so I don't need my glasses. Bright coloured so I can find it. Getting it.

Only available in the Apple App Store, sorry, too much overhead to run two different App stores and manage upgrades, etc.
