User reviews

Way too expensive

3x the price of most other subscriptions and for such simple functionality. It’s really only one feature more than what you get for free with your built in Calendar and Reminders. Unfortunately, it’s a feature I could really use and I would have loved this app but the price is ridiculous.

Incredibly well designed and thought out app

This is just a great app for planning. The time boxing is lovely (and really a rare feature, for some reason) and the interface is incredibly intuitive. The developer is clearly attentive to the community, and responded to a bug report I made incredibly quickly. Nothing but good reviews from me!

This app got me through grad school + working full time

I used this app to keep me organized when I was doing grad school and working full time and it was hands down THE BEST tool for organization. The combination of lists, labels, and calendar/time blocking was so huge for me. It’s like having a really large white board organized by lists and weekly time blocking, colored by label. Tasks are super flexible to move around from a list to your calendar, from one day to the next. I love it. And the check done feature is gratifying for me.

Love it! With some bugs

It’s the ideal concept for a time boxing app. However, I lose some of my tasks when scheduling from Brain Dump to a date. They just disappear! ✨🫣I hope Chris sees to it that this gets looked at. This is a very special application.

Works well with some bugs

Does what I need which is timeboxing and having a braindump of all my tasks. There are some bugs that I have to work around, like editing and moving recurring tasks.
