One thing
at a time.
Monotask is a minimalist to-do app that enforces single-tasking. One active task, a Later backlog for everything else, and no way to start something new until the current thing is done or parked.

The anti-app
Every other to-do app is a filing cabinet you feel guilty about.
One task on screen
Your focus fills the whole display in type you can read across the room. There is nothing to scroll past.
It refuses to multitask
Try to start a second task and the app says no. Finish, or deliberately demote the current one to Later.
Nothing to maintain
No tags, projects, priorities, or due dates. No streak to break the week you get sick.
How it works
Three moves. That's the app.
2
Do it
That sentence becomes the entire screen. Everything you add from here goes to Later, not on top.
One task. Nothing else.
3
Slide to complete
A deliberate gesture, not a tiny checkbox. Then the slate clears and asks what is next.
What you get
Free. The whole app.
No ads, no accounts, no subscription. Three tabs — Task & Stats, Backlog, Settings — and an adaptive layout for phones and tablets.

Privacy
Your tasks never leave your phone.
There is no sign-up, no cloud, no analytics SDK. Monotask has nothing to sell because it never collects anything.

No internet
Works fully offline — the app never requests internet access.
Questions
In the Later backlog — a separate tab you open on purpose. A backlog task can only become active once your active slot is free.
No. Dates turn a focus tool into a calendar you have to maintain. If something is time-bound, it belongs in your calendar app.
No. Monotask is free, with no ads and no subscription.
Not yet. Monotask is on Google Play for Android phones and tablets today.
