Plan projects on a visual timeline, drag tasks across a Kanban board, run focus sessions, and see exactly where your week went — on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

See exactly where your day went — by project, by category, by hour. ◆ Stats Dashboard (NEW) A weekly debrief in one screen: planned vs. actual hours, focus time per project, completion rate, and where your effort leaks. ◆ Project Outcomes & Milestones (NEW) Define the outcome that matters before you start. Track milestones, see momentum at a glance, and end every project with a clear "did I ship it" answer. ◆ Gantt Chart for iPad & Mac Plan multi-week projects on a true visual timeline.
