The list isn't the point. Your life is. Diluta manages your to-do list to help you decide, not just remember. Diluta gives every task the context that answers the only question that matters — what should I do next? Most productivity apps are built for people whose Monday looks the same every week. Yours doesn't. Diluta is for solo operators, parents, and anyone running a life and a workload at the same time. Add what you need to do. Get on with your day. When the day takes a left turn — a meeting moves, a kid gets sick, a deadline lands early — Diluta keeps up with what actually happened, instead of shaming you for falling behind. Our purpose, and the original thesis: close the gap between productivity and the human factor. The Diluta lifecycle is Capture → Triage → Prioritize → Execute → Reflect. You don't need a new productivity system. You need one that survives Tuesday. In addition, Diluta provides several features and customizations to help enhance your productivity, with themes you'll actually want to look at. Diluta also offers a simplified way to combine and view all your tasks, calendar, meetings, appointments, events and notes across your Apple ecosystem. WHAT'S INSIDE • A place for the deep work — The Studio is Diluta's focus zone, with a Pomodoro timer, a quiet workspace, and a notepad for the ideas that show up uninvited. • Calendar + tasks together — Your to-do list and your calendar in one place, so you stop double-booking your attention and finally see what "today" actually contains. • Plan together. In real time. — Hand the school run, the grocery list, or the swim-practice carpool to whoever's actually doing it. Updates land instantly, and messages stay attached to the task they're about — so "who's picking up the kids?" doesn't get lost in a group chat three days later. • Work the way that makes sense to you — Some work is a checklist. Some is a kanban board. Some belongs on a calendar. Diluta gives you all of them on top of one set of tasks — pick the view that fits, and switch when the work changes. • Templates for the repeatable — Trips, projects, weekly routines. Duplicate what works and stop rebuilding the same plan from scratch every time. • Diluta surfaces what needs you now, maps your week by decision and energy, and shows how every project and goal is really tracking. AI assistant can also help with tasks when the need surfaces. DILUTA · FREE ACCESS Start with 80 tasks, free, for as long as you like. No trial clock, no lockout.

You're on a call and need to jot something down. Sound familiar? Your default notes app takes ages to open - and lands on the last note you edited. Your reminders app only does reminders. And that powerful notebook app? You'll spend half a minute just deciding where the note should go. QuickNotes removes every step between a thought and a note. ONE SURFACE, ZERO DECISIONS Tasks, notes, ideas and reminders live together on a single board. No folders, no notebooks, no "where should I put this". Open the app, tap one icon, type, done - it takes seconds. BUILT FOR SPEED • Opens instantly, straight to your board • One tap to add a task, note, idea or reminder • Swipe right to complete, swipe left to delete • Tap any item to edit it • Undo & redo for every action - nothing is ever lost by accident TIDIES ITSELF UP Completed items stay greyed out on your board for 24 hours - so you can see what you got done today. Then they file themselves into the archive automatically. Deleted items go to the trash first, so nothing disappears for good until you say so. YOUR STYLE Three looks - Color, Mono and Glass - plus automatic light and dark mode following your system. PRIVATE & OFFLINE BY DESIGN • Works 100% offline - no internet connection needed, ever • All your data is stored only on your iPhone and never leaves it • No account, no sign-up, no cloud • No ads, no tracking, no analytics • Doesn't ask for a single permission AND THE SMALL THINGS THAT MATTER • Opens instantly - no splash screens to sit through • English and Czech, following your system language • Tiny download, minimal footprint QuickNotes is for busy people who just want to capture a thought before it's gone - without thinking about where it belongs. Open. Jot down. Done.
