Have a long list of tasks but don’t know where to begin? This app is a task manager based on the Eisenhower Matrix, a simple method that helps you organize tasks according to their importance and urgency. Even if you have never used the Eisenhower Matrix before, getting started is easy. Add a task and answer a few simple questions to distinguish what needs your attention now from what can be planned for later. Do important and urgent tasks right away. Schedule important but non-urgent tasks. Delegate or reduce tasks that are not important, and remove tasks that are unnecessary. Key Features Decide What to Do First Organize tasks by importance and urgency so you can clearly see your priorities. Capture Tasks Quickly Record tasks as soon as they come to mind, then organize them later when you have time. Focus on the Present View only the tasks that require your attention now and reduce unnecessary decisions and distractions. Organize Tasks by Answering Questions Answer a few simple questions to automatically place each task in the appropriate quadrant. Manage Multiple Projects Create separate projects for work, personal life, study, and more. Each project can have its own Eisenhower Matrix. Use Home Screen Widgets Check important tasks directly from your Home Screen without opening the app. Stay Focused with a Timer Choose a task, start the focus timer, and work without distractions for a set period of time. Choose Your Theme Personalize the app with a variety of themes. Review Your Progress View completed tasks and focus sessions through statistics to understand your productivity patterns and progress. Instead of trying to complete everything, start with what truly matters. Turn a complicated task list into clear priorities and focus on what you need to accomplish today.

When tasks pile up, the important ones get buried. The longer the list, the harder it is to choose. Every new task asks "Is this urgent? Is it important?"—and once you're done writing things down, you scan the list again and again, afraid you missed something. NOWDO does the choosing for you. And it checks one more thing: whether you have the time to do it. ■ No more sorting by hand You don't decide which quadrant a task belongs in. Just set the day you want it done and how important it is—NOWDO places it in the Eisenhower matrix. As the target date gets close, the task moves up to Urgent on its own. You decide how many days ahead "urgent" starts, task by task. ■ Overdue tasks don't quietly disappear A task past its target date shows a red "2 days overdue" tag and comes back to Today. At the top of the Week view, everything you haven't finished and has slipped past its day is gathered in one place. Nothing sinks to the bottom of the list and gets forgotten. ■ Know if you have the time NOWDO subtracts the meetings on your iPhone calendar and counts the time left within your work hours. Right as you add a task, it tells you something like "3 tasks, 1 h 45 min already booked by then—3 h 14 min available." Finding out you're overbooked after you've saved is too late. ■ Your day, laid out in time Meetings and tasks share one timeline. Press and drag to move a start time. Turn off a meeting you'll skip, and that time comes back. ■ What's next, on your Lock Screen A Live Activity shows tasks and meetings in the next two hours. Look ahead anywhere from one to eight hours in Settings. Quiet like a glance, not loud like an alert. ■ Look back on what you did Turn finished tasks into a report by day, week, or month. Pick a tag to see "How many hours did I spend on work this month?" Completed tasks, total time, days worked, daily average, busiest day, and share by tag—laid out in tables. Export to Markdown or CSV, or send it straight to a Notion page. ■ Ask Siri "What should I do now in NOWDO", "Today's tasks in NOWDO", "Can I get it all done in NOWDO" ■ Keep your tasks in Notion Store your tasks in a Notion database. Edit in the app or in Notion—NOWDO keeps both in sync. Create a ready-made database right from the app, with column names in your language. Not using Notion? Everything stays on your device. ■ Also · Home Screen widget · Repeating tasks (weekly / monthly on the same weekday / monthly on the same date) · Filter by tag, with a color for every tag · See each day's load in the Week view · English and Korean

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NOWDO at none against QuadraFocus's 2. NOWDO also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
