A small pause that changes the day

  1. Pick your time-wasters

    Choose the apps you lose time to. Add a daily limit if you want one.

  2. See your list first

    When you open one, your tasks, events and goals show up for a few seconds. Tick things off right there.

  3. Earn your time back

    Finishing tasks and hitting goals adds bonus minutes to your limits. Or tap Not now and go do the thing.

Everything for a better day, nothing you don't need

โœ…

Tasks that fit real life

One-time, weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly or yearly, sorted by ๐Ÿ”ด urgent and what's due soon. Every-day habits get their own box.

๐ŸŽค

Just say it

"Dentist Friday at 3pm." FirstWise finds the date and time for you. Share a text or email straight into your list too.

โญ

Goals that pay off

Steps, workouts and rep goals sync with your watch through Health Connect. The camera can even count your push-ups and squats.

๐Ÿ—“

Calendar and events

A month view, reminders that come at the right time, and sync with the calendar your family already uses.

โฑ

Limits and schedules

A daily limit per app, and quiet hours when distracting apps stay closed, like 9 to 5 on weekdays.

๐Ÿ”’

Lock, for real commitment

Lock your settings for an hour or for months. While locked, you can only make things stricter.

๐Ÿ””

Only two notifications a day

A morning heads-up with today's events and tasks, and an evening check-in with tomorrow's. That's it, plus a nudge before timed events.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Widgets for your home screen

Tasks, projects, a month calendar and a quick-add box. Tick things off without opening the app.

โœ๏ธ

One box for everything

Type or say "Pickleball Sunday 9am, milk and eggs, pay the water bill" and each part goes to its place: calendar, groceries, tasks.

๐Ÿ“‚

Projects with next steps

Paste a plan from any AI and it becomes a checklist with dates. Big step? Break it into substeps with one tap.

๐Ÿ…

Pomodoro focus

25 minutes of focus with your distracting apps fully blocked, then a short break. Finished sessions earn bonus time.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง

Family sharing

Shared grocery lists, events and chores, wish lists, and teen accounts that parents manage.

๐Ÿ”„

Bring your lists

Sync with Google Tasks and Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud calendars, or paste a list from any to-do app.

Fair rules for earning time

Bonus time is a reward, not a loophole. Every task earns once, new tasks have to wait an hour, and there's a daily cap so it stays meaningful.

Questions

Is FirstWise free?

Yes. Everything is free during testing. After launch, the core stays free, and FirstWise Pro (monthly or yearly, through Google Play) removes the free limits and adds unlimited AI, schedules, Lock and more.

Does it work on iPhone?

Not yet, but it's on the way. FirstWise is for Android phones running Android 8 or newer today. Join the iPhone waitlist and we'll email you the day it's ready.

Why does it need Accessibility permission?

That's how FirstWise knows when you open a paused app, so it can show your list first. It's also used for website blocking and Lock. It only checks what it needs, on your phone, in the moment, and never saves or sends it anywhere.

Can I still use my apps?

Of course. The pause only lasts a few seconds, then tap Continue. Limits and quiet hours are optional and up to you.

Will it flood me with notifications?

No. One in the morning and one in the evening, plus a short heads-up before events with a time. Every-day habits stay out of notifications unless you turn them on.

How do I get help?

Email support@firstwise.app. In the app, Settings has a full guide too.
