A powerful, completely free planner for tasks, projects, goals, lists...your life. It's built around a simple idea: different kinds of thinking deserve different places to live. A passing idea isn't a task. A reference list isn't a project. A note from a meeting isn't something you need to "do." When everything gets dumped into one inbox as a list of tasks, it all starts to feel equally urgent and equally easy to ignore. Outcomes gives each kind of thinking its own home, organized around what you're actually trying to achieve. GIVING YOU A HELPING HAND Many people switch to-do apps time and again, often due to one or more of the following: - Their inbox overflows. - They can't keep up with all the tasks in the app. - They roll over tasks from one day to the next over and over, making their "Today" list overflowing. Outcomes helps keep things in order with the following features: - Catch Up to make processing inbox items quick and easy. - Tidy Up to quickly go through all tasks based on context, providing hints for items that might be stale. - Wrap Up to handle tasks left over at the end of the day. - Fresh Start for any tasks that are left over from previous days. BEYOND TASKS • Inbox for quick capture, with nothing to organize yet. • Ideas as a parking lot for thoughts that aren't ready to become anything. • Lists for the things that aren't tasks -- books to read, gifts to buy, restaurants to try. • Notes attached where they belong, not floating in a separate app. • Today for what you've actually committed to broken into sections that mirror your personal day. BUILT FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM Outcomes is native on iPhone. No separate account required. Spotlight reaches into your outcomes, tasks, and lists. Shortcuts and the Control Center control let you capture without opening the app. Focus Filters keep work and home from spilling into each other. If you've cycled through task managers looking for one that respects the difference between an idea and an obligation, this is built for you.
