Focus on What Matters, Master Your Life's Rhythm Always dragged along by "urgent" things, while "important" ones keep getting postponed? 4Q is a simple yet powerful four-quadrant task management app based on the classic Eisenhower Matrix. It helps you clearly distinguish priorities, break free from the chaos of "busy work", truly focus on high-value matters, and take control of your work and life's rhythm. Core Philosophy: Do Only What's Important We firmly believe that "doing more important things" is better than "doing more things". 4Q divides all your tasks into four quadrants based on two dimensions: "important" and "urgent": • P1 - Important and Urgent: Do it immediately • P2 - Important but Not Urgent: Plan to do it (this is the key to your growth!) • P3 - Urgent but Not Important: Delegate to others • P4 - Neither Important nor Urgent: Decisively abandon Through this structured thinking, you'll concentrate your precious time and energy on the truly valuable "second quadrant". Core Features • Intuitive Matrix Interface: All tasks are visible at a glance across four quadrants. Supports drag-and-drop operations, allowing you to quickly adjust when priorities change. • Flexible Task Management: Easily add tasks, notes, deadlines, tags, and priorities, keeping every matter well-organized. • Statistics and Review: Provides daily, weekly, and monthly task data overviews. Intuitively understand your time allocation, continuously optimizing your efficiency model. • Personalized Space: Switch between multiple visual themes and layout methods at will, creating your own exclusive efficiency tool. • Multi-Device Cloud Sync: Whether on your phone or tablet, your tasks and progress update in real-time, enabling seamless efficiency management. Who is 4Q For? • Professionals: Balance projects, meetings, and personal growth goals. • Students: Plan study, exam revision, and interest development. • Entrepreneurs/Managers: Clarify team task priorities, improve decision-making efficiency. • Freelancers: Efficiently manage client projects, task cycles, and life matters. Why Choose 4Q? Unlike traditional to-do lists, 4Q isn't just about recording—it's training in "priority thinking". It helps you develop the habit of rational judgment—before taking action, pause and reflect: "Is this thing truly important?" Stop mindless busyness, start structured thinking. From today, use 4Q to focus on what truly matters, experience an efficient and orderly journey of personal growth. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Quadrant List is a four-quadrant to-do list based on the Eisenhower Matrix. Sort tasks by importance and urgency so you can focus on what really matters. • Four quadrants — Important & Urgent, Important & Not Urgent, Not Important & Urgent, Not Important & Not Urgent. Drag to move tasks between quadrants and reorder within each. Toggle tasks complete or pending with one tap. • Rich task fields — Title (required), optional details, and a quadrant. Optional reminder with once, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly recurrence. Voice alerts available so you never miss a deadline. • iCloud sync — With VIP, your tasks sync across all devices signed in with the same Apple ID. Reminders sync too: set a reminder on one device and it will fire on every device when the time comes. Data is stored in your private iCloud account and is not used for advertising. • Display options — Show or hide completed tasks; show or hide task details in the list. Keeps the main view clean while still giving you full control. • Deleted items — Soft-delete tasks and restore them later, or permanently delete when you are sure. Sort and filter the deleted list by time, status, or quadrant. • Simple and focused — No clutter. No separate account to sign up for basic use. Your data stays on your device by default. VIP (in-app purchase) removes ads, enables iCloud sync, and unlocks unlimited tasks (up to 20 tasks without VIP). Payment and subscription management are handled by Apple.
