Why another tool for solo founders?
Given the number of tools like Asana, Trello, Notion, ClickUp etc., the bar for “yet another productivity app” is very high, especially for solo founders who already feel tool‑fatigue. If the goal is to justify a new tool, it needs a very sharp, explicit thesis such as “most tools help you track everything, Tinyfocus only forces you to do the 3 things that actually move the business.”
“More done in less time”: Right now that claim sounds like generic marketing. You could make it concrete by defining: What specific behavior Tinyfocus enforces (e.g., forces you to pick 3 MITs, limits WIP, shows a single “today” view).
How you’ll measure the impact: % days where all 3 tasks are done, reduction in active tasks, or fewer context switches per day.
Even anecdotal metrics like “users report shipping more often and feeling less overwhelmed after switching from a general todo tool” would already be stronger than a vague promise.
Differentiation vs Trello and others
From the landing page and description, it’s still hard to see why a solo founder should use Tinyfocus over a simple Trello board or similar lightweight tools.
I don't know if any tool exists in this space or now: founders get ideas in transit, in the shower, between calls, and the friction of opening an app/website, navigating to the right place, and typing is real. A “voice‑first” capture flow (via Siri/Google Assistant/shortcuts) that instantly dumps tasks into Tinyfocus without opening the app would directly attack this friction
Imo you should remove the login page when user clicks on `Get started for free`, as I see this as a quicktool where you just type the URL and you know it's always there (pastebin like).

Looks useful! But fyi “Get started for free” (implying free for now) without a pricing page is a big turnoff imo
Probably simplest to use an existing ACPI poweroff script.
