You know the feeling. You work all day and still go to bed with the sense that nothing truly got finished. The list grew. The tasks blurred together. You were busy — but busy is not the same as done. FASTER was built for that moment. FASTER is a simple time management app for choosing what matters and getting it done. It is based on the method in Jeff Morris’s book, FASTER: A System for Finishing What Matters, and turns those ideas into a daily practice. HOW IT WORKS Each morning, choose the tasks that truly must get done today. Not everything you could do. Not everything you want to do. Only what matters most. Then estimate how long each task will take. FASTER adds up your daily workload before you begin, so you can see whether your plan is realistic. Your Must Do Today list holds a maximum of 10 tasks. That limit is intentional. When everything is a priority, nothing is. Finish all 10? Only then add more. FOCUS Tap Focus to start a countdown timer for a task. No distractions. No task switching. Just the work in front of you. When you finish, mark it complete. FASTER tracks your estimated time against your actual time, helping you plan more accurately and work more deliberately. FUTURE TO-DOS Everything that matters, but not today, goes here. Work. Home. Personal. Other. Four simple buckets. One trusted place. Capture it. Clear it from your mind. Move on. Your brain is for thinking, not for storing reminders. THAT’S THE APP. No project boards. No tags. No integrations. No bloated system to maintain. FASTER is deliberately simple because complicated productivity systems often create more friction than progress. Your data stays on your device and backs up through your phone’s built-in cloud. No accounts. No passwords. No servers tracking what you do. FASTER is the companion app to the book by Jeff Morris, a lawyer and executive coach who helps busy people regain control of their day. The app is free. The book shows you how to use the system fully. If other productivity apps have left you feeling organized but still behind, FASTER is different. It does not promise that you will get everything done. It helps you finish what matters. FASTER is for busy people, like freelancers, professionals, parents, students, and anyone who wants to regain control of their day. Your day is finite. Make it count.

Clarity is a Socratic thinking partner that helps you work through decisions, process emotions, and plan your next move — by asking the right questions, not giving you the answers.

Everything stays on your device. THINK THROUGH ANYTHING Whether you're weighing a career move, processing a tough conversation, or brainstorming your next project, Clarity meets you where you are. Choose from focused session types — brainstorming, processing, decision-making, planning, or open reflection. 8 THINKING FRAMEWORKS Go deeper with structured methods drawn from decision science and executive coaching. Apply Pre-Mortem to anticipate failure modes, Regret Minimization for direction-setting choices, 10-10-10 Analysis to weigh the long view, and Fear Setting when anxiety clouds judgment.
