StayTask

Focus on time,
not perfection.

The minimalist timeboxing app that transforms how you work. Set a time limit, start the task, and let the countdown keep you focused. No endless lists, just productive action.

StayTask App - Active Task View

WORK IN TIME BLOCKS.
GET MORE DONE.

Timeboxing is simple: assign a specific amount of time to each task. Instead of working until it's perfect, you work for a set duration. This creates productive urgency, reduces procrastination, and makes overwhelming tasks feel manageable.
