    What is Magic ToDo?

    Magic ToDo is a goblintool that takes a vague, scary task and splits it into bite-sized subtasks you can actually begin. The spiciness slider controls how deep the breakdown goes — Mild gives you one split, Medium adds subtasks, Spicy adds sub-subtasks.

    Why use Magic ToDo?

    Most to-do apps just store what you already know. Magic ToDo helps you do the hardest part: figuring out what "start the report" actually means. By splitting tasks for you, it lowers the friction of beginning — which is exactly what brains with ADHD, anxiety, or general overwhelm need.
