HYLYT EMPOWERS TEAMS to make better business decisions and work optimally, by effectively pulling information from whatever source, into a single robust repository that is secure, searchable and shareable. Today’s workers wage a losing battle against information overload. Current collaboration tools lack the means to pull together the many incompatible formats of emails, chats, meeting invites, notes, files, and so on; to connect related data hiding in these disconnected silos; and to share securely. Not only is most of the information they receive irrelevant, but managing the part that is useful is inefficient. Research states that 25% of work time is spent searching, saving and managing the information they own. Accessing information held by co-workers is even harder. Did you know over 70% of departing employees admit to taking the Company’s data? HyLyt is designed to fix this. Linked to all these existing systems, it allows you to pull the information items that matter to you, from these or any other sources and formats, into a single robust repository, allowing you to connect these diverse items into a meaningful, instantly searchable matrix. It enables you to communicate prioritized information across your team while retaining full and secure control over it. By interconnecting relevant information from all those silos, HyLyt enables better business decision-making while boosting productivity. EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE APP Create your own information - Import it from any source – email, cloud storage, chat/ collaboration platforms, etc. - Meta-tag and inter-connect it any way, across different folders - Automatic backup to the cloud to prevent data loss Share with your co-workers - Share your data with your team – internal and external - Make it meaningful through tagging and annotation - Find information based on multiple criteria instantly Communicate with your co-workers - Built-in instant messaging - Built-in Video Conferencing - No limits, no added cost Secure your data - End-to-end encryption - Control who can see and share your information – prevent others from sharing or forwarding - Pull back any data from any user at any time remotely and transfer from one user to another HyLyt takes your current cloud storage and calendar experience to a different level. HyLyt can also help you manage your notes, reminder, video calls and files at one single place. You can also get a personal chat/ collaboration platform hosted on your sever.

About

GSD Task Manager

Features
Read full description

GSD ("Get Stuff Done") helps you answer one question: what should I work on next? Every task is framed on two honest axes — urgent and important — and lands in one of four quadrants: Do First, Schedule, Delegate, Eliminate. The Eisenhower matrix is a decades-old decision tool, and GSD keeps it that way: one calm surface, one decision at a time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tasks live on your device. GSD works fully offline, with no account, no sign-up, and nothing sent anywhere. Optional sync is there if you want it — sign in with Apple, Google, or GitHub and your tasks stay in step across iPhone, iPad, and the GSD web app. Your choice, never a requirement. CAPTURE WITHOUT BREAKING STRIDE Type one line. Shorthand does the sorting: • !! marks urgent and important — straight to Do First • ! urgent, * important • #tags organize as you type Share a link or text from any app and it becomes a task. A Home Screen widget keeps today's focus in view. DEPTH UNDER A CALM SURFACE The grid stays simple; the power sits one layer down. • Subtasks, tags, notes, and due dates with reminders • Recurring tasks — daily, weekly, monthly • Dependencies: see what's blocked and what's blocking • Built-in time tracking with estimates and timers • Snooze, archive, and auto-archive to keep the board honest FIND ANYTHING Smart views slice your tasks the way you think — Today's Focus, This Week, Overdue Backlog, Ready to Work — or build your own with filters. A command palette puts every task and screen one tap away (⌘K with a keyboard). PROGRESS, MEASURED HONESTLY A dashboard shows completion trends, quadrant balance, tracked time, and upcoming deadlines. No badges, no manufactured rewards, no pressure to open the app — just an accurate picture of how you're doing. DESIGNED FOR iOS, NOT PORTED Native SwiftUI throughout. Swipe actions, context menus, dark mode, and an iPad layout built for the larger canvas. VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion respected everywhere. No ads. No tracking. No attention engineering. Capture what matters, decide once, and get back to your day.
