iomatrix is an Eisenhower Matrix task manager that helps you stop reacting and start prioritizing. Sort every task into four quadrants — Do, Schedule, Delegate, Delete — and focus on what matters. Native on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, with widgets and on-device Apple Intelligence. THE EISENHOWER MATRIX - Do — Urgent & Important: handle these first - Schedule — Important, Not Urgent: plan ahead - Delegate — Urgent, Not Important: hand off - Delete — Neither: let it go TASK MANAGEMENT - Quick add with quadrant, workspace, due date, notes, and links with auto-fetched titles - Drag between quadrants, or into Notes, Mail, and Messages as text - Backlog for undecided tasks, Archive for finished ones - Calendar in four views, with your Apple Calendar events beside your tasks - Due dates are a day, with a time only when you need one - Day timeline on an hour grid with the current time: tap an empty hour to schedule a task and it lands in Apple Calendar - Daily reminder for today's due and overdue tasks SIRI & APPLE INTELLIGENCE - "Add a task to iomatrix" — Apple Intelligence turns a sentence into structured tasks, on device - Say several tasks at once; quadrant, due date, and workspace are inferred - Find and complete tasks by voice; every action works in Shortcuts - Without Apple Intelligence, your phrase is still saved as a task WORKSPACES - Separate work, personal, and projects, and filter the whole matrix by one - 10-color palette; archive a workspace when the project wraps - Three workspaces free; more with Pro HEATMAP & WIDGETS - GitHub-style completion heatmap that fits any screen and scrolls back two years - Widgets: matrix summary, quadrant lists, 2×2 grid, and heatmaps, including an extra large size that fills a Home Screen page - Lock Screen widgets and Apple Watch complications IOMATRIX PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE Everything above is free.

About

Taskrix

Features
Read full description

Time is the only currency you can't earn more of. Taskrix asks two questions about each task — is it important, is it urgent — and files it into one of four boxes. You never choose the box. You answer, and the box follows. Then it tells you the one thing no other task app will: how much of your week you actually chose, and how much of it chased you. SORT WITHOUT YOUR HANDS Taskrix reads each task aloud and asks whether it's urgent and important. You say yes or no. Driving, cooking, walking, hands full — a pile of unsorted tasks becomes a sorted matrix without looking at the screen. Speech recognition happens entirely on your device. Nothing you say is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. If you'd rather not use the microphone, the same questions have Yes and No buttons. THE NUMBER THAT MATTERS Every week, Taskrix works out how much of what you finished was reactive — urgent things arriving at you — and how much was intentional, chosen in advance. Most task apps count what you completed. Completing forty urgent things is not the same week as completing twelve you decided on, and only one of those is a week you'd choose again. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget in three sizes. Point it at one quadrant, or show the whole matrix at a glance. Do Now, Schedule, Delegate, Eliminate — whichever one you need in front of you. CAPTURE BEFORE IT ESCAPES Add Taskrix to Control Centre, your Lock Screen, or the Action Button. One press and the capture sheet is waiting, phone still in your hand. Or ask Siri — "Capture in Taskrix" — and say the task. It never opens the app. ASK SIRI HOW THINGS STAND "Taskrix status" tells you what's urgent, what's waiting behind it, and what that adds up to. "How many unsorted in Taskrix" works without unlocking your phone, because a number says nothing about you. Anything that reads your task titles aloud asks you to unlock first. That's deliberate. YOUR TASKS STAY YOURS There is no account. iCloud sync runs through your own Apple Account, using Apple's private database — there is no console on the other end, and no way in. Nothing you write, say, or tag ever reaches the developer. Deleted tasks wait 30 days before they're gone for good. TASKRIX PRO 7 days free, then $2.99 a month. Cancel any time. - Sort by voice - Weekly intentions — say what you'll protect, then find out how it went - Insights across every week you've tracked - Unlimited tags - 45 and 60 minute focus sessions, custom lengths, clock styles iCloud sync, the widget, Control Centre capture, Siri and the full matrix are all free.
