About
Start each day knowing what truly deserves your time.
essentia is your personal planner and productive journal inspired by bullet journaling. A task manager, notes app, and calendar in one place — built around a simple philosophy: capture, plan, review, and let go.
Most productivity apps focus on accumulating. You create a to-do list, unfinished tasks stay there, and every morning you begin dragging yesterday’s guilt with you. essentia is different. It includes a review ritual no other app offers: it shows you what’s pending and invites you to decide. Move it to today? Reschedule it? Let it go? No guilt. Just clarity.
CAPTURE — CLEAR YOUR MIND
Write down tasks, notes, and ideas instantly — no required fields, no upfront decisions. Everything goes into your inbox.
Use the widget, the share extension from any app, or type directly in essentia. Empty your mind now, process later.
PLAN — AT YOUR OWN PACE
When you’re ready, Triage guides you item by item: assign a date, move it to a collection, or leave it for later. Your daily and weekly planner to organize only what truly matters.
REVIEW — START FRESH
Don’t drag yesterday’s list forward. Each morning, review what’s pending with a single tap: move it to today, reschedule it, or let it go.
This review — the bullet journal migration — transforms a simple to-do list into a tool for mental clarity.
