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". ________________________________
Lock In

Lock In isn't another endless to-do list. It's a daily ritual: brain-dump everything on your mind, then lock in the three things that actually matter today. HOW IT WORKS Type anything — the page is yours, like a scratchpad you never have to organize. Your top three rise to the top as your Focus for the day. Tap the progress ring to open Today, check them off, and watch the ring close. Finish all three and you "lock in" — a moment that makes finishing feel earned. That's the whole app. No projects, no folders, no nagging backlog. Just today, and your three. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • The top-3 ritual — you don't manage a hundred tasks, you commit to three and finish them • A brain-dump that stays raw — capture fast, organize never • The lock-in moment — a progress ring and a small celebration when your three are done • Make it yours — accent colors to match your vibe (Lock In Pro) • Private iCloud sync — your list follows you across devices, never our servers • Home-screen widget + a gentle daily nudge PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No analytics. No ads. Lock In collects nothing — your tasks stay on your device and in your private iCloud. Pick three. Lock in. Finish today.
