Sonto vs TaskNotes

Every day is packed, but your most important goals never seem to move. The Sonto Method changes that: zoom out to your yearly ambitions, define quarterly milestones, and watch your weekly and daily priorities fall into place. You only get a few thousand weeks — make them count. "A very useful tool for many" — Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks Sonto isn't just another task manager. It's a planning method — and the app designed around it. Begin with the year you want to have. Break it into quarterly milestones. Each week, choose the work that drives you forward. Each day, focus on what matters most — and stay flexible for whatever else comes up, without losing sight of your long-term goals. Your plans flow from big-picture to the here and now, so you always know what deserves your attention. Sonto fits the way you work — skip yearly planning if quarters suit you better, plan your day in the morning or at night, drop tasks straight onto your calendar. It's the planner for anyone who wants to grow and get stuff done, personally or professionally.
