Glento — formerly Focus Matrix. Same app, same subscription, same data. Stop reorganizing your to-do list. Start doing it. Most days, the hardest part of being productive isn't the work — it's deciding what to work on first. That decision fatigue is what leaves you overwhelmed and procrastinating. Glento uses AI to make that decision for you. AI THAT ACTUALLY HELPS ▸ AI picks what to do next. Every morning, Glento surfaces the three tasks that actually matter today — pulled from your matrix, ranked by what's urgent, what's important, and what's been waiting too long. These are your most important tasks — the ones worth doing first. ▸ Brain dump → organized matrix. Talk or type everything on your mind. AI splits it into individual tasks and drops each one into the right quadrant. The chaos in your head, sorted in seconds. ▸ Quadrant suggestions. Write a task — AI suggests the right quadrant. No more staring at four boxes wondering where it goes. ▸ Weekly AI coaching. Every Monday, a short summary of what you got done last week and where to focus next. Free for every signed-in user. No subscription needed. ▸ Personalized morning reminder. Your daily notification calls out today's top task by name, so you know what's first the moment you pick up your phone. 7 DAYS OF AI, FREE WHEN YOU SIGN IN The moment you sign in, every AI feature unlocks for a week — no card, nothing to cancel. When the week ends, Pro features simply lock unless you subscribe. THE EISENHOWER MATRIX, MODERNIZED The framework used by presidents, executives, and high performers — finally with the AI that makes it actually usable on your worst days. You may know it as the time management matrix, or Covey's Quadrant II from the 7 Habits. • Visual 4-quadrant grid. Drag, swipe, complete with one tap. • Recurring tasks. Daily, weekly, or monthly tasks come back automatically. • Home screen widgets. Three sizes. See your top quadrant without opening the app. • 10 themes plus light, dark, and system mode. • Activity heatmap and streak tracking. • Tags to label tasks by project, context, or energy. YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY Tasks live on your device first. Glento works fully offline and without an account.
