Speak your tasks. No typing, no tapping, no internet required. Utter List is the to-do list that listens. Built for people who think out loud โ€” and especially for those with ADHD or dyslexia โ€” Utter List lets you capture tasks by voice, completely offline, completely private, and without ever creating an account. Just open the app and talk. HOW IT WORKS Tap the orb and speak naturally. Say what's on your mind โ€” a grocery item, a task for later, a thought you don't want to lose โ€” and Utter List figures out the rest. No commands to memorise. No formatting. No internet connection needed. Your voice is processed entirely on your device using Apple's built-in speech framework. Nothing is transmitted, stored on a server, or shared with anyone. Ever. FIVE MODES FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS My List โ€” your everyday spoken to-do list. Add tasks by voice or by typing. Check them off when done. Grocery Runner โ€” a hands-free shopping list built for the supermarket aisle. Add items on the way to the shop, check them off in-store without unlocking your phone. Brain Dump โ€” a freeform canvas where your thoughts become floating bubbles. Speak freely, get everything out, then decide what to do with it. Perfect for ADHD thought spirals and the mental chaos before bed. Drive Time โ€” your list read back to you, hands-free, while you drive. Hear what needs doing without touching your phone. Deep Focus โ€” one task, full screen, no distractions. For when you need to start and stay started. BUILT FOR ADHD AND DYSLEXIA Utter List was designed from the ground up for people who find traditional task apps frustrating. Voice input removes the typing and spelling barrier. The orb is always one tap away. There are no nested menus, no projects, no tags โ€” just you and your tasks. Large text, high contrast, and minimal visual clutter make Utter List comfortable to use for dyslexic readers. Brain Dump mode exists specifically for the ADHD brain โ€” capturing the flood before it's gone. BUILT WITH LIQUID GLASS Utter List is built with Liquid Glass โ€” Apple's new design language introduced in iOS 26. The Brain Dump bubbles use native Liquid Glass rendering, giving each thought a depth and clarity that feels at home on the latest iPhone. If you're running iOS 26, Utter List was designed for it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Utter List collects no data. No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party SDKs. When Apple displays Utter List's privacy label, it says what we mean: Data Not Collected. Period. On-device speech recognition means your voice never leaves your phone. No audio is recorded, transmitted, or processed externally. Your tasks live on your device and nowhere else. NO ACCOUNT. NO INTERNET. Utter List works on a plane, underground, in a dead zone, and anywhere else your phone goes. There is no account to create and no password to forget. Your tasks live on your device and nowhere else. Try Utter List free for 7 days โ€” full access, all five modes, no restrictions. After your trial, choose the plan that suits you: Monthly โ€” ยฃ1.99 per month Annual โ€” ยฃ9.99 per year (save 58%) Lifetime โ€” ยฃ19.99, pay once, own it forever The annual plan gives you everything the monthly plan does at less than half the price โ€” just ยฃ0.83 a month. Most people who try Utter List for a week don't go back to typing. Speak it. Done. Terms of Use: https://dailyworks.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://dailyworks.app/privacy

About

Eisenhower Matrix

Read full description

Your to-do list tells you what exists. It does not tell you what matters. EisenMatrix sorts every task onto the classic Eisenhower 2x2 โ€” urgent vs important โ€” so the moment you open the app you see what to do first, what to schedule, what to delegate, and what to drop. Most matrix apps are a task manager with a grid bolted on. EisenMatrix is the grid: four colour-coded quadrants on one screen, drag-and-drop re-classification, and a guided weekly review โ€” the half of the method everyone skips โ€” that walks each open task and asks whether it is still urgent, still important, or ready to be eliminated. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข One screen answers "what now?" โ€” red Do First for real deadlines, calm Schedule for deep work, Delegate for the loud-but-low-value pile, Eliminate for the rest โ€ข Re-decide by dragging: pull a task from Do First to Schedule and the move is saved instantly, surviving relaunch โ€ข A guided weekly review that walks every open task through the urgent-important question and remembers when you last finished one โ€ข One daily reminder at the hour you choose, asking the only question that matters: "what is actually in Do First today?" โ€ข Honest stats counted from your own tasks โ€” open vs done per quadrant, plus how much you managed to eliminate (that number going up is the win) โ€ข Notes on every task, a flat everything-list grouped by priority for fast triage, swipe to complete, restore when plans change PERFECT FOR โ€ข Professionals whose flat list has 60 items and no answer to "which one first?" โ€ข Managers deciding what to hand off instead of doing everything themselves โ€ข Anyone with ADHD-style overwhelm who needs the next action visible, not buried โ€ข Covey readers who want quadrant-two time actually protected, week after week WHY NOT JUST A TO-DO APP? A flat list treats "reply to the group chat" and "finish the report due today" as equals โ€” so the loud task wins and the important one slips. Flags and priority levels do not fix it; you just end up flagging everything. A 2x2 board makes the trade-off physical: a task can only sit in one quadrant, so every task gets an honest decision. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tasks stay on your iPhone in Apple's SwiftData. No account, no ads, no analytics, no upload. The only notification is the one daily reminder you schedule yourself. FULL ACCESS EisenMatrix Pro unlocks the complete experience, including four accent themes and a shareable plain-text backup of every task. Choose the weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” prices are shown in the App Store before you confirm. Download EisenMatrix, drop today's tasks onto the grid, and know in one glance what deserves you first.
