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.

A quiet pomodoro timer. Focus for 25 minutes, then take a real break. FocusPocus runs on your iPhone with no account, no tracking, your tasks stay on your device. The technique is older than you think. Francesco Cirillo wrote it down in the late '80s using a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. The math hasn't changed: focus for 25, break for 5, repeat four times, take a longer break. FocusPocus handles the timing so you can do the focusing. What's inside: — Three modes (pomodoro, short break, long break) with sounds you can mute — A tappable task list. Add what you're working on, mark them done as you go. — Pomodoro count per task — estimate how many sessions you'll need and watch the count — Notes per task with checkable sub-items — Eight color palettes plus a custom picker — pick a mood for your focus — Native iOS Live Activity. Your timer lives on the Dynamic Island and lock screen so you never lose track. Pause and skip from the Dynamic Island without unlocking. — "Yesterday" page-flip: tap the date to start a new day. Unfinished tasks carry forward, completed ones drop. — Session history with stats — focused minutes per day, weekly trends, top tasks. What's not inside: — No account — No tracking — No ads — No upsells Made by one person who needed it. If it helps you focus, you've already gotten what it was made for.
