Less collecting endless to-do lists. It's your time to decide, focus, finish, and move on! Some days the problem isn't too many tasks — it's that they all look equally important. EISENHOWER gives your work a simple shape: what to do now, what to schedule, what to delegate, and what to let go. Featuring the Eisenhower Matrix — the urgent vs. important prioritization principle Dwight used to run a country, and the method this app has been refining for iPhone and web since 2011. FOUR-QUADRANT MATRIX Sort every task by urgency and importance: Do First, Schedule, Delegate, Don't Do. Keep no more than eight per sheet so you stay focused — with room for unlimited tasks and notes when you need them. FOCUS MODE Pick one important task, start a clean timer (30 minutes, or whatever suits you), and stay with it until it's done. SCHEDULE & DELEGATE Turn a decision into action — drop a task into your calendar or hand it to a colleague without leaving the app. CLOUD SYNC Sign in once and your matrix stays in real-time sync with the web app at app.eisenhower.me, and back again. Work, study, side projects, or just a crowded day — EISENHOWER helps you see what deserves your attention next. Looking for a quick tutorial? www.eisenhower.me/eisenhower-matrix Questions or ideas?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Eisenhower at none against Eisenhower Matrix's 4. Eisenhower also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Eisenhower Matrix's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (105 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eisenhower Matrix sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Eisenhower asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Eisenhower holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eisenhower Matrix has 105 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Eisenhower's written reviews are positive against 83% of Eisenhower Matrix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Eisenhower ships an update every 6 weeks, Eisenhower Matrix every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
