We believe less is more. Instead of cramming in trendy features like habit tracking or Pomodoro timers, we focus on what really matters: helping you plan projects effectively. Why You'll Love It: - Organize by Areas Group projects into categories like Work, Life, or Personal—so everything stays neatly sorted. - Projects > Checklists Break big goals into smaller tasks with collapsible sections. Finished projects? They automatically hide to keep your space clean. - Start Dates Matter Set a future start time for tasks, and they'll stay out of sight until they're actually relevant. No distractions! Best part? All core features are 100% free—only cloud sync is paid. No upsells, no bloat.
