Time is precious, spend it working on the most important things... There are a million to-do lists and task managers in the App Store. PriorityWise is unique and better than others in many ways. Read on to find out how. • PriorityWise is designed to allow you to define areas of your life that are important to you and then track how often you are working on improving those areas. • In addition to simple to-do lists, PriorityWise also tracks your progress on the kinds of goals that are longer-term, such as "Raising good kids" or "Advancing your career". • You can record when you complete an item, but you can also record whenever you work on an item. Using this information, PriorityWise shows you what areas or projects you are working on the most, which ones you may be neglecting, and how long it has been since you have worked on items in any category. • You can easily set priorities and then continually see how your efforts are stacking up to those priorities. • You can create a simple to-do list, or you can create a hierarchy of items that contain sub-items which can themselves contain sub-items, etc. Make your lists as simple or as detailed as you choose. ________________________________ People often have a tendency to spend the most effort working on things that are the least important. PriorityWise is designed to help reverse that tendency and get your life moving in the right direction "priority wise". ________________________________

Read full description

An application that helps you make accurate decisions based on reason and logic, so you will never regret your choice. CORE FEATURES PROS & CONS This is a binary decision tool where you add positive and negative arguments. Each entry has a customizable weight, and the app calculates a net score to determine a "Yes" (Blue), "No" (Red), or "Undecided" (Amber) verdict. Key features: - Unlimited dilemmas, intuitive visuals - Add pros and cons and adjust their weight (importance) - Dark mode and light mode for you to choose - Your concerns will become transparent and clear COMPARE OPTIONS (DECISION MATRIX) This feature is designed for choosing the best option among multiple alternatives (e.g., iPhone vs. Samsung vs. Oppo vs. Xiaomi). You can define columns (Options) and rows (Criteria like Price, Battery). You rate each cell on a scale (1-10), and the app calculates a weighted sum to highlight the winning option. SWOT ANALYSIS This is a strategic planning tool for bigger picture thinking. It utilizes a 2x2 grid where you categorize factors into Strengths (Internal/Positive), Weaknesses (Internal/Negative), Opportunities (External/Positive), and Threats (External/Negative) to visualize the viability of a project or career move. 10-10-10 RULE This is a temporal framework to combat short-term emotion. It asks you to predict how you will feel about a decision in three specific timeframes: 10 Minutes, 10 Months, and 10 Years. This feature is text-based and reflective, helping you gain long-term perspective. The 10-10-10 rule can help you avoid FOMO (fear of missing out) and impulsive decisions, and minimize long-term regret. OTHER FEATURES - The app supports both light mode and dark mode. Pick the one that fits your eyes. - The app can work totally offline. No internet connection is required. - You can export your data into a JSON file for backup (e.g, when you change your phone) or import/ restore your old data. - The app supports local authentication. You can use Face ID to lock the app to keep your decisions private.
