Yez3 is a to do list app and AI task manager built for doing, not just storing. Capture tasks by voice or text, and the AI coach helps sort them into today's Minimum, 100% and Maximum, with critical tasks above routine ones. One tap breaks any task into steps. Missed tasks never pile up in red, and the coach writes first when a key task slips.
Why do to-do lists keep growing?
Because adding a task takes two seconds and doing it takes an hour. A list treats "call the bank" and "finish the thesis" the same, so the easy tasks get done and the important one moves to tomorrow — again. Writing tasks down still helps: Masicampo and Baumeister (2011) found that making a specific plan for an unfinished task reduced intrusive thoughts about it. The fix is not a longer list but a plan: what's critical, what's the smallest version, and when.
How does the Yez3 task tracker work?
- Capture. Type a task or hold the mic and say everything on your mind — Yez3 splits it into separate tasks.
- Sort. Tap "Sort tasks with coach", or drag tasks yourself into Minimum, 100% or Maximum.
- Prioritize. Critical tasks — the ones that move your goal — sit above routine ones.
- Do. Start a focus timer on the first critical task. Close the Minimum and the day counts.
- Review. In the evening, the coach helps move what's left and set tomorrow's Minimum.

What does the AI do in a to do list app?
- Sorts your list. "Dentist, slides, cat food" → slides to critical Minimum, the rest to routine.
- Asks for a time when you say "later": what time, how many minutes?
- Breaks big tasks down — "do taxes" becomes "find last year's form".
- Writes first when a key task is still open near the end of your day.
- Asks about stuck tasks. After 5 days: do it today, reschedule for real, or drop it?
- Edits the plan in chat — adds, moves and closes tasks for you.
Prefer a plain list? Everything works without the coach too.
