The 3 Things
Minimalist productivity app centered on choosing the three most important tasks each day.
Three tasks a day. Not a list, not a project tree - three. Everything else waits, and the day is judged on whether those three were done.
What a v1 does5 features
- Exactly three tasks a day, enforced
- Everything else parked in a backlog that is not shown
- A single end-of-day verdict: done or not
- Streaks on days completed
- Carry-over made deliberately visible when it happens twice
The market
That is about 0.6% conversion at the most successful independent task manager there is. Motion went from $2M to $50M in under two years charging $19 to $34 a month, and Sunsama charges $16 to $20. At $4 a month this is priced below both.
Where these numbers come from
| Company | Earns | Reach | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Todoist | $26.5M a year | 50M+ users · ~300k paying customers | Independent estimate |
| Motion | $2M to $50M ARR in under two years | Not published | Independent estimate |
| Sunsama | $16–20/mo | Not published | Published pricing, 2026 |
Why this audience
These viewers have tried and abandoned elaborate productivity systems, which is a pattern the content addresses directly. The appeal of three tasks is that it is the opposite of what has already failed them. The audience has been pre-sold on minimalism by their own experience.

What it earns
Drag me Every figure recalculates as you go.
0.05% of 2M followers · capped at 50,000
Opens on the price this idea was costed at, $4.
1,000 paying — 0.05% of 2M followers — × $4 a month = $4,000 a month
Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.
