About Next Moves

Next Moves Lab, listed here as Next Moves, is for people who are building their own project, whether next to a job or as their main work. You dump everything in your head in whatever form it comes, tell it how much energy you have, and it selects a single task to do, offers the first step and keeps everything else quiet.

If a step feels too big, you can ask for a smaller one. A Lineup shows what is queued and updates as you finish tasks and add new ones from an Add to today bar, and there are sections for goals, reflection, progress and teaching the app how you work. It can connect to your tools, and the site has comparison pages against Sunsama, Motion, Todoist, Akiflow, Reclaim and ChatGPT, and a blog. Pricing is shown as $9.99 a month, with no setup and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
