Stuck? Take one 5-minute first step
When everything feels too much and you just can't start — tap “I'm stuck,” dump what's weighing on you in one line, and AI turns it into a single concrete 5-minute first step. Then a calm ritual (breathe → clear → pick the smallest one → start a timer) walks you back in. Starting is the win.

What's live today
Seven capabilities built around one moment — getting back in. Not organizing tasks, just helping you start.
Overwhelm → first-step AI
Dump “I'm overwhelmed by X” in one line. In seconds AI returns one concrete, 5-minute-doable first step plus a short line to take the edge off.
Re-entry ritual flow
A fixed, low-friction sequence: breathe → clear your head → pick the smallest thing → start a timer. Re-entry becomes a repeatable ritual.
Task inbox
Dump everything weighing on you at once to lighten the mental load. Any item can kick off an AI breakdown or a re-entry ritual.
Gentle timer
Lower the bar with a “just 5 minutes” commitment. The screen stays calm, never pushy — and the timer restores correctly when you come back.
Re-entry streak + micro-celebration
See every fresh start as a streak, with a quiet, instant bit of positive feedback each time you complete a first step.
Re-entry history
Your past re-entry sessions and completed first steps, summarized by date — proof that you keep starting again.
“When you're stuck” quick entry
From a calm daily reminder, jump straight into the re-entry ritual at the exact moment you need it — re-entry built into the loop.
Reentry is only about getting back in
Todoist and Things assume you can already start. The hard part is getting moving again after you crash or stall. Reentry's home screen isn't a task list — it's “I'm stuck,” with the AI breakdown and the re-entry ritual all built around that single moment.
Four steps, from “stuck” to “I started”
The home screen isn't a task list — it's “I'm stuck.” Tap it and get walked gently through the way back in.
Let it out
Write down what's weighing on you in one line. No need to tidy it — just get it out.
Shrink it to one step
AI turns it into one concrete, 5-minute-doable first step, plus a line to take the edge off.
Give it 5 minutes
Enter the calm ritual: breathe → pick the smallest one → start the timer. Just five minutes.
See yourself moving
Finishing earns a micro-celebration, your streak ticks up, and history gains one more “I started again.”
Shrink what overwhelms you into one 5-minute thing
Dump “I'm overwhelmed by X” in one line and AI turns it into one concrete, do-it-now first step plus a line to take the edge off. You don't have to finish the whole thing — just start the five minutes.

Frequently asked
1. Is Reentry for treating ADHD or mental health?
No. Reentry is a productivity tool that helps you start small tasks. It is not medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice. If you're in distress, please contact a qualified professional or local support service.
2. How are AI first-steps counted?
The free tier gives a few AI breakdowns per day; Reentry Pro unlocks unlimited. The ritual, inbox, timer, streak, and history are free and unlimited.
3. What happens to the text I dump?
Only when you enable AI is the text you write sent — via our secure server — to our AI provider (OpenAI), solely to generate your first step. It is never used to train models and never shared with anyone else. You can turn AI off anytime in Settings.
