Stuck in your head?

Everything feels overwhelming. Nothing feels clear. You're stuck in a loop.

Climb out.

List it. Score it. Focus on what's important right now and take back control one step at a time.

How it works

Loop Ladder turns your mental load into one list. You add what’s on your mind, score each item by impact and how much you can control it, then decide: do now, do later, delegate, or drop. No more going in circles—you climb one step at a time.

The flow below shows how a single worry becomes a clear action (or a conscious choice to let it go).

Steps: add items, score each, consider control, choose an action, then climb a step.

Escape the prison loop.

One step at a time. No more spinning.

What people are saying

Real stories from people who turned the loop into a ladder.

I was drowning in to-dos and guilt. Loop Ladder helped me see what actually needed my attention and what I could let go. The Do Now / Later / Delegate / Discard split was a game-changer.

Sarah Chen

Product manager

Simple, no fluff. I dump everything in, rank it, and in 20 minutes I have a clear picture. I use it every Sunday before the week starts.

Marcus Webb

Freelance designer

I needed something that didn’t feel like another app to ignore. This feels like a quiet checklist that actually respects my brain. The impact plot made me realise I was stressing over things I’d already decided to discard.

4–6 problems

Sunday night anxiety

Everything you’re carrying from the week—work, family, health—gets listed, scored, and sorted. You go into Monday with one or two Do Nows instead of a fog of dread.

6–10 problems

Work overload

Meetings, deadlines, and “shoulds” go in. You rank by real impact, mark what you can’t control, and decide what to do now, schedule, delegate, or drop.

3–5 problems

Family & relationships

Unsaid things, conflicts, and worries go on the list. Scoring and the control question help you see what’s yours to fix and what isn’t.

Yes. There’s no sign-up and no account. Your data stays in your browser on this device. We don’t collect or store your lists anywhere.
Only on your device, in your browser’s local storage. Nothing is sent to our servers. If you clear site data or use a different browser or device, your lists won’t be there unless you export them (we’re looking at adding export/import).
Anyone who feels stuck in their head—overwhelmed by to-dos, anxiety, or “everything feels urgent.” It works well for weekly reviews, before big deadlines, or when you need to clear mental clutter and see what actually matters.
