Features
Read full description

Dexter is an opinionated day planner that helps you get more done while avoiding the trap of busyness. It fills the gap between planners that are too simple to be useful and ones too complicated to use every day. Plan each day intentionally, prioritize with a twist on the Eisenhower Matrix, and keep your whole day (tasks, notes, journal, and calendar) in one place. FEATURES: • Prioritization: label tasks important, urgent, both, or neither so your priorities are always clear • Quick Planner: surface tasks that are overdue, due soon, or left behind • Markdown notes and a customizable journal with reflection prompts • Calendars in one place: your device calendars, or .ics feeds on the web • Habit tracker, goals, and milestones • Repeating tasks and native task alarms so nothing slips • Connect to AI: an MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor plan alongside you • Customizable themes, on iPhone, iPad, and the web Dexter is open source under the MIT license: https://github.com/cvburgess/dexter
