Task Quadrant
Read full descriptionHide full description
We were inspired by the Eisenhower Method and created an app that helps you efficiently manage your tasks by organizing them based on urgency and importance. This approach allows you to quickly set priorities and avoid chaos and overload. The simple and intuitive interface makes planning easy and accessible. Flexible task management: You can quickly and efficiently change the quadrant of each task based on its priority, adapting your plan in real time. Integration with Calendar and Reminders: Tasks in the “Urgent and Not Important” category work with iPhone Reminders to notify you of timely but minor tasks. Tasks in the “Not Urgent and Important” category sync with your iPhone Calendar, helping you plan significant activities in advance. Intuitive interface: Task management doesn’t require complex setups. Just create a task and set its priority. If you’re new to the Eisenhower Matrix, this is a great way to learn how to prioritize tasks and manage your time effectively in both work and personal life. Stay focused on what truly matters and keep your priorities under control every day. Additional information: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Brief Note
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sometimes you are about to meet someone and cannot quite remember the last conversation. Brief Note is a local relationship notebook that brings the context back before you meet. 1. Add one person you want to remember. 2. Write one important line after you meet. 3. Scan the briefing before the next conversation. Pin the detail you never want to miss. Optional calendar briefings can remind you on the morning of a meeting. Event titles are matched with saved names entirely on your device. Your names and notes stay on your device, not in an account or content server. When choosing a contact, only that person's name is saved—never phone numbers, email addresses, or the full address book. Export a JSON backup whenever you want and restore it by replacing or merging local data. Store up to five people for free. Adding a sixth requires a one-time lifetime purchase, not a subscription.
