Most task apps make you do more. Prism helps you do less โ€” better. Prism is built on a simple idea: you don't have one to-do list, you have several โ€” work, personal, that side project โ€” and they shouldn't all live in the same pile. So Prism organizes everything into Task Lists, and gives each one its own Focus mode. TASK LISTS โ€” Create a list for each part of your life. You always have a Default list to start with, and can add up to 8 total. Rename them, reorder your tasks with a drag, and move a task from one list to another whenever priorities shift. FOCUS MODE โ€” Star the handful of tasks that actually matter right now, then flip Focus mode on to see just those. Each list has its own Focus limit (1โ€“10), so "focused" means something different for a big project list versus a quick errands list. RECURRING LISTS โ€” For the stuff you repeat โ€” a weekly packing list, recurring chores โ€” check items off as you go, then tap Reset to start the next cycle fresh. Recurring lists don't clutter your Log with the same items week after week. LOG โ€” A record of what you've actually accomplished. Browse your completion history, restore a task if you archived it by mistake, and see your weekly momentum at a glance. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Task Lists โ€” Organize tasks by area of your life, not one giant pile. Up to 8 lists, each with its own type and Focus limit. โ€ข Focus mode โ€” Star what matters, then filter down to just that. No auto-magic guessing what you should work on โ€” you decide, per list. โ€ข Recurring checklists โ€” Built for routines you repeat. Check off, reset, repeat. โ€ข Smart capture โ€” Add multiple tasks at once by separating them with commas, "and," or line breaks. Prism splits them instantly. โ€ข Due dates & reminders โ€” Pin deadlines to tasks and set push notification reminders up to 30 days in advance. โ€ข Drag-to-reorder โ€” Reprioritize any list with a long-press drag, in or out of Focus mode. โ€ข Weekly chart โ€” See how many tasks you've completed each day over the last week. Progress you can actually feel. โ€ข Multiple profiles โ€” Switch between entirely separate sets of task lists for different areas of your life, without mixing them together. โ€ข Dark & light modes โ€” A clean, minimal design that works in any light. Prism is for anyone who ends the day with more on their list than when they started โ€” and wants that to change. Focus on what matters.
