Ten & Done
A day with Ten & Done
Four steps, the same every day. After a week you won’t even think about it.
Write
In the evening or in the morning: ten notes on your board, big and small. Type them or say them.
Commit
Pick your top task and press and hold the button. Your plan is set.
Check off
Every finished note gets its stamp. Anything new becomes an extra.
Wrap up
In the evening you decide: move to tomorrow, later, or let it go.
Two kinds of busy days
The same limit helps both: ten things, firmly planned. That’s it.
Your list never gets shorter
You get a lot done, and still 30 items are open every evening. Here everything may go to the parking spot, but only ten make it onto the board. Once they’re done, you’re done – and it feels good.
You find it hard to get started
You know what to do and still put it off. Small notes count like big ones. You commit in the morning, Tack nudges you, and you break big things into small steps.
Everything a day needs – on ten notes
Tasks, habits, focus and events on one board. Whatever you don’t need stays out of the way.
Exactly ten spots
The eleventh thought has to wait. So you only plan what you can really do in one day. One note is your top task.
A promise to yourself
You commit by pressing and holding the button. You stake one point per note. Finish it and the point comes back.
Habit tracker
Exercise, drink water, no phone in bed: habits show up on their days by themselves. With a tally and a streak.
Focus timer
Flip your phone over and Focus Time runs. Do Not Disturb stays on until you pick it up again.
Calendar and events
Events from your calendar appear as notes on your board. Add your own events straight to Google Calendar, with guests if you like.
Birthdays and anniversaries
Just say “Lena’s birthday is May 3”. The app remembers and reminds you a few days ahead.
Shopping list, notes, checklists
A shopping list per store, also by voice, easy to share. Notes and checklists – even attached to a task.
Timeline
When times come in: drag notes to a time of day with your finger, tap free time to plan it.
Big tasks in steps
If something feels too big, split it into three to five small steps. The last step is the summit.
A parking spot for everything else
Everything may go on the list – only ten go on the board. The rest waits in the parking spot. On Sundays Tack reminds you of what has been waiting there for a while.
Home screen widget
Your daily plan in the style of your board. Check things off without opening the app. A small widget adds new tasks by voice.
Your day or week as a PDF – a plan for the fridge or your desk.
Board, timeline, progress
Several views of the same day. The sample data is made up.
The board
All ten notes at a glance. Every kind has its own word and symbol, not just a color.
The timeline
Your daily plan by time. Move notes with your finger, tap free time to plan it.
Progress
Week, 4 weeks, year: what you got done, when things go well, which habits stick. Every finished task becomes a leaf on your tree.
Lists
Shopping list per store, parking spot and notes. Saying them works too.
Checklist on a note
Subtitle and list right on the task. Check off, add, carry over to tomorrow.
The window
Notes on the glass, behind them sea, mountains, city – or your own photo.Your board, your style
Cork, whiteboard, window, Bento, Glass & Glow, Editorial or Clear as a calm list by time. Add a quote, a photo and small accessories. Light and dark.
At home on your tablet too
Portrait or landscape: on a tablet your board gets plenty of room, timeline and lists sit side by side, and progress shows everything at a glance.
One down. On to the next.
This is Tack. Tack cheers you on, gives you a nudge and one short tip against procrastination every day. That’s all Tack wants. If you prefer something simpler, pick a different look.

Good to know
Why exactly ten?
Ten things fit on one screen and into one day. Plan more and you usually get less done – and feel bad about the rest in the evening. Ten isn’t too many: notes can be as small as today allows.
What if I can’t think of ten things?
Then pick small ones. “Drink a glass of water” counts just like “do my taxes”. Tap 💡 and Tack suggests something: things you’ve done before, items from your parking spot and small ideas.
What happens if I don’t finish something?
The point you staked is gone. Nothing more. The next morning Tack asks what to do with the note: plan it again, split it into steps or let it go.
I’m sick or on vacation. Now what?
Mark the days. Then there’s no plan, no reminders and no penalties. Your streak waits until you’re back.
Can I do more than ten things?
Yes. After you commit, anything new becomes an extra. Extras don’t earn points, but you’ll see them in your progress.
Does Ten & Done cost anything?
The core is free: 10 tasks a day, habits, Focus Time, calendar, lists, notes, widget and the progress of your week. Premium is a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase.
Is there a widget?
Yes. The board widget shows your daily plan on your home screen, in the style of your board, and you can check things off right there. A small widget adds new tasks by voice.
Can the app see my calendar?
Only if you turn it on. Then it shows events from your phone’s calendar as notes. When you create an event in the app, it adds it to your Google Calendar. It doesn’t change other events.
Does it work on tablets?
Yes, in portrait and landscape. On a tablet, timeline and lists sit side by side and progress is laid out in columns.
Is Ten & Done available for iPhone?
The app launches on Android phones and tablets first. An iPhone version is planned.
