About Ikoi

Ikoi is a task planner built for people whose energy changes from day to day, such as people with ADHD, autistic people, those in burnout and students. You pick a mode (Zombie, Okay or Hyperfocus) and your list reshapes around it, showing one task at a time sized to the energy you have.

Every task keeps a 2-minute first step, with a quiet Pomodoro session for focus. You can cap your day in spoons, let skipped tasks fade instead of piling up, build habits and routines that bend on hard days, and brain-dump thoughts that you turn into tasks or reminders later. Six hand-drawn pixel-art themes give it a game-like feel.

The app is published by Alok Ram Singh, runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, supports many languages and is free to download with in-app purchases. It is aimed at people who feel guilty about long to-do lists and want a planner that adapts to low-energy days.
