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.

Every focus session is a voyage. Focus Passage turns your working time into a sailing passage between real harbours. Pick a port, spin the helm, and your boat sets out along a real coast. Stay with your work and she sails on. Put the phone down. Cross the sea. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a real harbour. Choose where you're headed from the harbours within reach of your session, anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. The longer you focus, the further you can go. • Spin the helm. The apps you chose go quiet the moment you set sail and stay that way until you arrive. • Sail. Watch your boat cross the chart in real time, over real water, past real headlands and lighthouses. • Arrive. Finish, and you wake up somewhere new. Stop early and you lose the miles. 1,149 REAL HARBOURS Every port is a real place, at its real position, and every passage is measured in real nautical miles along a route that stays in the water. Start from Lisbon, Brittany, the Chesapeake, the Cyclades, Sydney, the Caribbean — 56 coasts in 53 countries — and work your way along, one session at a time. THE WIND CHANGES EVERY DAY Each day brings its own weather, the same for everyone. A fresh breeze carries you further; a calm day asks for a little more patience. The wind decides how far you get — never how long you sit. YOUR APPS, SILENCED Choose the apps that pull you away — social, video, games, whatever steals your afternoon. During a session they stay shut. Focus Passage uses Apple's Screen Time and never learns which apps you picked: the choice stays on your iPhone. WHAT THE SEA TURNS UP Longer sessions go further out, and further out is where things happen. • Sightings — flying fish and dolphins, then turtles, sharks and whales. The albatross only appears on the longest passages. • Lighthouses raised as you round the headlands. • Messages in bottles, found drifting along the way. • A stamp for every harbour you reach. YOUR CAPTAIN'S LOG Every passage is written up in your logbook: miles sailed, hours focused, harbours reached, stamps, sightings and the notes you've found. It's a record of the time you took back — and a reason to sit down again tomorrow. YOUR YEAR, SAILED At a mile a minute, the hours that disappear into your phone add up to a real distance. Focus Passage shows you how far that time could carry you — and then helps you start sailing it. BUILT FOR DEEP WORK • Sessions from 30 to 90 minutes, sized for real work, study, reading or creative time • A gentle daily reminder at the hour you choose, on the days you choose • No streaks to break, no leaderboards, no noise — just the next harbour • Designed to be calm: one sea, one boat, one thing at a time Whether you're writing, studying for exams, coding, reading, or just tfternoon without scrolling, Focus Passage gives your attentionsomewhere to go.
