Every screen, in the order you would meet it.

These are real screens from a real phone, not drawings. Nothing here is hidden away in a menu; this is the whole app, roughly in the order it happens.

Chunkable's opening screen: a large empty text box under the question "What's on your mind?", with placeholder text reading "Type it all out. Messy is fine. No order, no length limit, no tidying up." A microphone button and a "Break it down" button sit below it.

What you see first

No sign-up, no onboarding quiz, no permissions to grant. The app opens on an empty box and waits. There is no length limit and nothing to tidy up first.

The voice capture screen: a large microphone button under the heading "Say it instead", with text explaining that the phone handles the listening the same way its own keyboard dictation does.

Or say it out loud

Typing is not always the low-energy option. Dictation uses your phone’s own speech recognition, so no audio ever reaches us. What you said lands as editable text, and goes nowhere until you ask for a breakdown.

A generated checklist headed "7 steps, 69 min", listing steps like "Check the post for fines" at 7 minutes and "Book the dentist appointment" at 13 minutes, each with a checkbox, a time estimate and a drag handle.

What comes back

A short list of steps you could actually start, each with a time estimate. Every one of them is a plain text field: rewrite any step, drag it anywhere, delete what does not apply. Nothing here is locked.

A sheet opened over the checklist for one step, showing that step between its two neighbours and "Step 2 of 7", then "Move to the top", "Move up one", "Move down one", "Move to the end", "Make this smaller", "Change the time" and "Remove this step".

When a step is still too big

Tap the handle beside any step for its menu. Moving a step has plain buttons as well as the drag gesture, so reordering never depends on being able to drag. "Make this smaller" sends that one step back to be broken down again.

The checklist after one step was split: where "Book the dentist appointment" was, three shorter steps now sit, "Find the dentist’s phone number", "Check your calendar for open times" and "Call the dentist to schedule", with a toast at the foot of the screen offering to undo the split.

One step becomes three

The step that was blocking you gets replaced by the smaller ones inside it, in place, in the same list. You can do it again on any of those if it is still too much.

A running timer showing 04:03 remaining of 7 minutes inside a clay-coloured ring that is filled most of the way round, above Pause and "+5 min" buttons, a green Done button, and a quiet "Stop here for now" link.

One step at a time

Starting a step gives the next few minutes a shape instead of letting them disappear. It keeps counting while the app is closed, and "Stop here for now" is always there, with no penalty for using it.

The checklist with its first step checked off: a quiet green check and a muted line of text, the next step raised as a card. No red, no streak counter, no score anywhere on screen.

Finishing, quietly

A step goes soft and grey when it is done. There is no streak to break, no red, no points, and nothing that punishes you for a day you skipped. Stopping is not a failure state here.

The Routines screen, listing a saved routine, "Evening reset" at 7 steps and about an hour, with a "Start this again" button and a note that keeping a finished list as a routine is done from the breakdown itself.

The things you do again

A breakdown you liked can be kept as a routine and restarted from scratch whenever you need it. Starting one copies the steps into a fresh list, so ticking today does not touch the saved version.

The Appearance settings screen listing six themes: Paper & Clay, Fog, Dusk, Moss & Ochre, Carbon & Citron, and High contrast, with a toggle to follow the system at night.

Six ways it can look

Including a high-contrast theme, and Dusk can take over on its own when your phone goes dark. Text size and typeface are yours to set too, in Reading.

The History screen, listing past brain dumps with the date each was made and how many of its steps were finished, each row openable again.

What you already did

Every list you have made is still here, with what you finished on it. It is a record, not a scoreboard: nothing is ranked, nothing is averaged, and an unfinished list is not marked as a failure.

The Reading settings screen, offering text size options and a choice of typefaces, with a live sample paragraph updating above the controls.

Set it so you can read it

Text size, typeface and line spacing, with a live sample above them so you are not guessing. Four faces, including Atkinson Hyperlegible, which was drawn to keep similar letters from being confused, and your phone’s own font if you already have that set up how you like it.

The in-app privacy screen headed "Your words & privacy", opening with a short version: no account, no login, no email, and what you type stays on the device.

Where your words go

There is no account and no login. What you write stays on your device; the one thing that ever leaves is the text of a brain dump, sent to be turned into steps. You can export everything as plain text, or delete all of it, whenever you like.

The next thing to do doesn't have to feel this big.

One honest payment, forever. Your list doesn't disappear when you check a box.
