Slipster turns your to-do list into 15-minute tiles you can actually schedule - capture a task, size it, and either drop it onto your calendar or leave it in the list for later. CAPTURE FAST, SCHEDULE WHEN YOU'RE READY Add a task in seconds. Every task is sized in 15-minute units (1x-8x, so up to 2 hours) - small enough to actually start, not another vague "someday" item. Leave it in the list, or schedule it straight onto your day. YOUR OWN CALENDAR, NOT A TAKEOVER Schedule a task and Slipster creates its own "Slipster" calendar right on your device - no Google sign-in required, just one permission tap. It sits alongside your existing calendars, never mixed into them. It's two-way: move or rename the event in Calendar and Slipster picks up the change automatically. The list is always the source of truth - putting a task on the calendar is a loan, not a move. FOUR WAYS TO SEE YOUR DAY List, Day, Agenda, and Week views, plus categories (Home, Work, Shopping, and your own) so you can filter down to just what's relevant right now. RECURRING TASKS THAT DON'T MAKE YOU RE-TYPE THEM Set a task up once as a template - fixed day or floating to the next open slot - and stop retyping "bins out" or "water the plants" every single week. THE GAP-FILLER Slipster checks your other calendars' free/busy time and surfaces tasks that actually fit the gap you have right now - instead of leaving you to eyeball your calendar and guess. SLIPSTER PRO Everything above is free, forever - it's never getting paywalled retroactively. Slipster Pro is an optional subscription that adds sync across all your devices, so your list and schedule stay in step everywhere you use Slipster. No ads, no streaks, no guilt-trip notifications - just an honest way to get from "I should do that sometime" to it actually being on your calendar.
