Want to see it first?
One goal, from a to-do list to its first session, done. Sound on, or read the words on screen.
How does it work? One step at a time.
An example week
Omodo on a phone: a goal typed in a few words, the plan with its first session and first milestone, the phone’s lock screen before the session with Omodo’s notification, the calendar’s alert and the email, and the first milestone done.

Type it once. After that, each step comes to you around the time you picked.
The first session is usually 20 minutes or less. Later ones grow as you do.
Where it reaches you
Don’t check email much? It can come two other ways.
Omodo offers both right after you save your plan, or any time in Settings.

Why it’s built this way
You pick when you’re free, and where.
Plans that say when and where get done more often than plans that don’t.

Done is right in the email.

A week with a miss
- Tue · Done
- Thu · no tap
- Sat · the win
Skipped a session? Nothing piles up.
Omodo asks once, the next morning. Your next session stays the size it was.
No catch-up, no streak to lose.

Miss a day? No streak to lose.
One missed day doesn’t stop a habit from forming.

After a session
Your next session starts where you stopped.
After a session, leave two short lines: where you stopped, and how to start next time. Your next reminder email opens with them.
Why it’s built this way
Right after a session, you still know where you were. Two lines keep that, so next time you start from your own first step instead of working it out again.

Why I made Omodo
My to-do list has everything I keep meaning to do: get in shape, start the online course I signed up for, write an essay due next week. When I’m free, I doomscroll instead, and weeks later I regret where the time went. What I needed was something to tell me exactly what to do with the next 15 minutes. So I built Omodo.

The price
One plan. Every goal you want moving.
Free until your first win, or for 3 weeks, whichever comes first. Then US$9 a month. No card.
Your first win is your plan's first milestone, usually about a week in. The US$9 starts at the first of these: your first win, 3 weeks, or planning a second goal or a next milestone.
A Tuesday in November
21:00, and you're out the door. The move came at 20:45. Nothing to plan.
US$9 a month (US$0.30 a day)
- A reminder before each session: the move, Done, Not today, Stuck
- Miss one, keep going
- Changes to the plan, in your own words
- The next milestone, planned from what you did
- More than one goal at once, each with its own session times, for the same US$9
Cancel any time from Settings, and nothing is deleted.

Questions
Before you type it in.
Why not just ask ChatGPT or Claude for a plan?
You can, and you'll get a decent plan. Then keeping it going is up to you.
Omodo does that part: a reminder before each session with your note on where you stopped. Nothing to type when you don't feel like it.
Is it AI, and who sees what I type?
Yes. AI reads what you type, drafts your plan and writes each step. What you type goes to the AI services in the Privacy Policy, which don't train on it under their API terms. Fixed rules, not AI, keep your sessions to the days and times you picked and decide what a miss does.
Nobody else using Omodo can see your goals, and we don't sell them. Download a copy or delete your account any time from Settings.
More answers
I already block my apps. Do I still need this?
Keep your blocker. It stops the scroll, but it doesn’t say what to do instead. Omodo does: at the time you picked, one small step on the thing you’ve put off.
How is this different from a to-do list or a habit tracker?
Those hold what you write down. You still decide what to do and when. Omodo plans short sessions at times you already have, hands you one move at a time, and keeps no streaks.
What if I miss a session?
The next one stays the size it was. Nothing to make up, nothing piles up. If you just don't tap, Omodo asks once, the next morning, whether you did it, and never counts that as a miss.
What does it cost, and what if I don't pay?
Free until your first win, or for 3 weeks, whichever comes first. Then US$9 a month. No card. Your first win is your plan's first milestone, usually about a week in. If you don't pay, your plan and notes stay in the app, and the emails, notifications and new moves stop. Cancel any time from Settings.
I don't check my email much. Will I miss the reminders?
Not if you use your calendar instead. Add your sessions to your phone's calendar, each with an alert at your reminder time. If a session moves, the calendar follows on its own. You can add it right after you save your plan, or any time in Settings. On iPhone, you switch the alerts on once, and Omodo shows you how.
Will the reminders get annoying?
You choose how early each one comes. Turn the emails and notifications off any time in Settings, or from the email itself. A calendar you added stays until you remove it. Nothing is deleted.
Is there an app to install?
No. Omodo runs in your phone's browser. To keep it one tap away, add it to your Home Screen; on iPhone, that's also how the reminders can come as notifications once you allow them. Prefer your phone's calendar? Settings can add your sessions to it.
