The origin
"No matter what I searched for, nothing solved my actual problem."

Half-An-Onion was built by a mom with an ADHD brain and a background in technology and national security — who spent years building software for teams working under real pressure, and eventually asked: why shouldn't I be the one to build the thing I need?

Built in Virginia. Independent. No investors, no data sold. Read the full story →

"The mental load isn't a productivity problem. It's a weight problem. And most apps just add more weight."

Half-An-Onion was built to help carry some of that weight. Not with more structure or systems — just with something closer to how your brain actually works when it's tired, full, and still trying to hold everything together.

How it works

Built for the brain that
holds the whole house together.

🎙️
The thought that vanishes before you can write it down
Just say it out loud. The Slicer breaks your voice into individual slices — tasks, grocery items, reminders — and files each one exactly where it belongs. One sentence, six things done.

📋
The to-do list that only exists in your head
Your Cutting Board is a visual task board that works the way your brain does. Active tasks front and center. Things that can wait, simmering in the back. Urgent ones get a little heat. Drag to the Compost Bin when done.

The thing that needs doing — just not by you
Drag a task to someone in your Circle. The task populates a text and you hit send. They get a link, mark it done, you get notified. No follow-up. No holding it in your head. The loop closes itself.

🛒
"What's for dinner" at the end of an impossible day
Grocery items from your voice go straight to The Basket. The app knows what's in your pantry and helps you build meals around what you already have. Cart handoff* sends your list straight to Kroger.
* Kroger supported at launch. Additional stores coming.

🔒
Your data belongs to you. Full stop.
Your tasks, lists, and pantry live on your device — not our servers. Half-An-Onion can't sell what it doesn't have. Voice audio is deleted the moment it's transcribed. We don't hold your life. We just help you carry it.
Local-first · privacy by design
