nearly done
Just about complete
Nearly done means close to completion but not quite finished.
The phrase applies to tasks, projects, cooking, or any process approaching its end: I'm nearly done with this report, The chicken is nearly done—give it five more minutes.
It implies only a small amount of work or time remains.
