About
You can't make everything important.
Halfwise is an Eisenhower Matrix (importance × urgency) to-do app with one extra rule: only half of your open tasks can be High, for both importance and urgency. It is a tool for deciding what to do first, and what not to do.
■ High means half, at most
Every task is either High or Low for importance, and High or Low for urgency. But only about half of your open tasks can be High. The difference between High and Low is at most one.
A to-do list where everything is High has no priorities. The limit keeps you choosing. The rule starts once you have 4 open tasks.
■ Add in one tap
Type a title, then tap where it belongs. Importance and urgency are set at once.
- Do now: Important · Urgent
- Plan: Important · Not urgent
- Quick tasks: Not important · Urgent
- Later: Not important · Not urgent
A full quadrant's button says “Full · swap …” before you tap. Nothing is shown when there is room.
■ Make room by swapping
Pick a full quadrant and Halfwise shows your new task next to one already there and asks, “Which one goes in ‘Do now’?” If only importance or only urgency is full, it asks about that axis instead: “Which one is Important?” or “Which one is Urgent?” Tap one and the swap is done in a single step; a message says where the other task went, and Undo is right there. Halfwise never changes your priorities on its own.
■ The idea
Priority is relative, not absolute.
Halfwise combines the Eisenhower Matrix with forced distribution. Because only half can be High, every task is chosen against the others.
■ See everything at a glance
Your tasks sit in a 2×2 matrix, free on iPhone too. Prefer a list? Switch in Settings. Labels on the edges of the matrix, such as “Important: 1 left” or “Urgent: Full”, show how many High slots are left. Long-press a task and drag it to move it to another quadrant (or reorder it within one).
■ Finish anytime
Swipe right to complete, left to delete. No confirmations, no blocking. If the balance drifts, a card with Halfy explains why, and “Rebalance” opens a suggestion of what to move. Completing and deleting are never blocked.
