Be Like Ike — Use the Eisenhower Matrix with your Reminders & Calendar Focus on what matters. Be Like Ike brings the Eisenhower Matrix to your iPhone and iPad using Apple Calendar and Reminders—no new accounts, no cloud lock-in. Your tasks and events stay in the apps you already use. How it works Capture everything in Inbox, then decide: Is it urgent? Important? Both? Move items into Urgent or Important (they become calendar events you see in Calendar and in the app). Send tasks to Delegate when someone else should do them, or to Eliminate when they’re not worth your time. One matrix view shows all five areas; a single tap jumps to any section or to a combined calendar of Urgent and Important. Built on the Eisenhower method President Eisenhower was famous for separating the urgent from the important. Be Like Ike turns that into a real workflow: do first (Urgent), schedule (Important), delegate, or drop. No overwhelm—just clear choices. Designed for your system • Calendar — Urgent and Important events live in dedicated calendars, so they appear in the system Calendar app and in Be Like Ike’s calendar view. • Reminders — Inbox, Delegate, and Eliminate use Reminder lists. Full EventKit integration; the app creates the calendars and lists it needs. • Drag and drop — Move items between sections. Schedule from Inbox into Urgent or Important with one action. • Grid and list — See the full matrix or focus on one section. Tap items to view or edit details. • Privacy — Everything stays on your device and in your Calendar and Reminders. No accounts, no tracking. Who it’s for Anyone who wants to prioritize without switching to a new ecosystem. If you already use Calendar and Reminders, Be Like Ike fits in. If you’ve always wanted to try the Eisenhower Matrix but never had a simple place to do it, start here. Download Be Like Ike and spend your time on what actually matters.
Mission

Mission turns a goal into the app you need to complete it. Tell Mission what you are trying to get done — moving home, planning a trip, organising an event, selling something, starting a new job, preparing for an important deadline, or almost anything else. Mission uses AI to understand the outcome, then builds a focused workspace around it using native tools such as tasks, checklists, timelines, comparisons, budgets, maps, forms, decisions, timers, evidence capture and more. Instead of forcing every goal into the same template, each Mission can take a different shape. A trip might become a route, budget, comparison and itinerary. A house move might become packing, move-day timing, evidence, people and critical tasks. An event might become preparation stages, guest details, timings and inventory. The interface changes around what you are trying to achieve. BUILT AROUND THE OUTCOME Mission helps you understand: • What needs doing next • What matters most • What is blocking progress • How far through you are • What needs to happen before the deadline • What success actually looks like PLANS THAT CAN CHANGE Real plans rarely go perfectly. If a task becomes blocked, tell Mission what happened and it can help reorganise the plan around the original goal. Need more detail? Ask Mission to break a task into smaller generated steps. The plan can evolve without starting again. GENERATED, BUT STILL NATIVE Mission uses a library of native iPhone components rather than displaying everything as an AI chat. Depending on the Mission, your workspace can include: • Tasks and subtasks • Checklists • Progress and milestones • Timelines and schedules • Comparisons • Decisions • Budgets and targets • Forms and structured inputs • Maps and places • Timers and countdowns • Inventory and counters • People and responsibilities • Notes and resources • Evidence and photos • Ratings and scores • Charts • Critical paths and dependencies Swipe between focused Mission views instead of navigating one enormous project page. YOUR EXISTING MISSIONS WORK OFFLINE Once a Mission has been created, everyday actions such as completing tasks, adding notes, updating checklists, capturing evidence and reviewing your plan happen locally. AI is used when it adds value, such as creating a Mission, breaking down a task or helping replan after something changes. BRING YOUR OWN AI Mission supports your own compatible AI provider credentials. Your API key is stored securely in Keychain. Mission also includes an offline demo so you can explore the experience without connecting an AI provider. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Mission data is stored locally on your device. When AI is used, only the information required for that request is sent directly to the AI provider you have chosen. Mission does not require an account to get started. From one sentence to a working plan. Describe the outcome. Let Mission build around it.
