SIX PRIORITIES. ONE CLEAR DAY. Long to-do lists create noise. Ivy6 helps you decide what truly matters, work on one task at a time, and end the day knowing you did the important things. Built on the Ivy Lee Method, a 100-year-old productivity ritual, Ivy6 gives you a calm daily planner for iPhone, iPad and Mac: 1. Capture everything in your Inbox. 2. Choose your six most important tasks. 3. Put them in order. 4. Work through them one at a time. 5. Plan tomorrow tonight, and start fresh in the morning. YOUR DAILY 6 Commit to no more than six priorities. The limit makes you choose deliberately instead of carrying an endless list from day to day. CAPTURE NOW, DECIDE LATER Ideas, errands and future tasks wait in your Inbox until they earn a place in your plan. Add estimates, subtasks, tags, snooze and recurring routines when you need them. FOCUS ON ONE TASK Start a distraction-free session for your current priority. Use a stopwatch, a 5-minute sprint, Pomodoro or a countdown, and see how much time you really give to meaningful work. PLAN TOMORROW TONIGHT In the evening, Ivy6 invites you to choose tomorrow's priorities in order. Unfinished tasks return to your Inbox for a conscious decision, so every morning starts clean. MADE FOR APPLE DEVICES β€’ Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets β€’ Live Activities and Dynamic Island during Focus β€’ Siri and Shortcuts for quick capture and your next priority β€’ Read-only calendar context beside your plan β€’ Native layouts for iPhone and iPad β€’ A Mac app with menu bar access and keyboard shortcuts β€’ Morning, evening and weekly review reminders β€’ Break large tasks into smaller steps UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WORK Review completed tasks, focus time, streaks, rollover patterns and stale tasks, so you can plan a realistic day, not just a longer list.
