About

Matters Planner

Read full description

Matters is a calm daily planner built around one idea: focus on what truly matters. Most to-do apps bury you in everything at once. Matters lets you pool everything in organized lists, then pull only what matters today — finish it, and let it cycle back. Calm, focused, and beautifully minimal. MAC APP INCLUDED Matters comes with a full Mac app, synced through your own iCloud — no extra purchase. Work in multi-column lists side by side, plan weeks and months ahead in the planning views, capture a task from any app with a global hotkey, mindmap with pro/con feature, and drive it all from the keyboard. ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE Create lists for the areas that matter — Nutrition, Movement, Skills, Projects, anything. Each list is a focused home for related tasks, so your mind stays clear and your work stays organized. Group lists into folders to see whole areas at a glance. PLAN YOUR DAY, NOT JUST YOUR TASKS - Today shows exactly what you've committed to - Time blocks let you build your day hour by hour and protect time for deep work - Drag a task onto your timeline to do it at the right moment - A built-in focus timer keeps you on track, one session at a time - Set a target for the week ahead and plan into it YOUR CALENDAR, RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR TASKS Bring your existing calendar events into the same view as your work, so you can see the meeting at 2pm before you promise the afternoon to something else. Your events stay in your own calendars — Matters only reads them. BUILD HABITS THAT STICK - Track habits on the schedule you actually keep: every day, every few days, or specific weekdays - Count repetitions toward a daily target, not just done or not done - Streaks that understand your rest days instead of punishing them - A clear history so you can see the pattern, not just today TASKS THAT HOLD THE WHOLE STORY - Sub-task checklists, image attachments, and notes on any task - Deadlines with multi-day tracking - Recurring tasks: daily, weekly, monthly, and custom intervals - Rolling tasks that cycle back instead of disappearing, perfect for routines - Reminders that arrive when you asked for them SEE WORK YOUR WAY - Every list is also a Kanban board: drag work across columns - A per-list Brief keeps meetings, decisions, references, and notes in one operating page - Sort, section, and reorder each list the way that suits it ON EVERY SCREEN Built for iPhone and iPad, with widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen: today's agenda, your time blocks, and your habit streaks at a glance. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays yours — it lives on your device and in your own iCloud, never on our servers. No sign-up, no tracking, no third-party data sharing. Beautifully minimal, light or dark to match your system, with a set of themes when you want a different feel. Built to get out of your way. Start free for 14 days. Then keep everything with a Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime plan. ——— SUBSCRIPTION & PRICING Matters is free for 14 days. To keep using it after the trial, choose a plan: • Monthly — an auto-renewing subscription billed each month • Annual — an auto-renewing subscription billed each year • Lifetime — a one-time purchase (not a subscription) Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
