SIX PRIORITIES. ONE CLEAR DAY. Long to-do lists create noise. Ivy6 helps you decide what truly matters, work on one task at a time, and end the day knowing you did the important things. Built on the Ivy Lee Method, a 100-year-old productivity ritual, Ivy6 gives you a calm daily planner for iPhone, iPad and Mac: 1. Capture everything in your Inbox. 2. Choose your six most important tasks. 3. Put them in order. 4. Work through them one at a time. 5. Plan tomorrow tonight, and start fresh in the morning. YOUR DAILY 6 Commit to no more than six priorities. The limit makes you choose deliberately instead of carrying an endless list from day to day. CAPTURE NOW, DECIDE LATER Ideas, errands and future tasks wait in your Inbox until they earn a place in your plan. Add estimates, subtasks, tags, snooze and recurring routines when you need them. FOCUS ON ONE TASK Start a distraction-free session for your current priority. Use a stopwatch, a 5-minute sprint, Pomodoro or a countdown, and see how much time you really give to meaningful work. PLAN TOMORROW TONIGHT In the evening, Ivy6 invites you to choose tomorrow's priorities in order. Unfinished tasks return to your Inbox for a conscious decision, so every morning starts clean. MADE FOR APPLE DEVICES • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Live Activities and Dynamic Island during Focus • Siri and Shortcuts for quick capture and your next priority • Read-only calendar context beside your plan • Native layouts for iPhone and iPad • A Mac app with menu bar access and keyboard shortcuts • Morning, evening and weekly review reminders • Break large tasks into smaller steps UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WORK Review completed tasks, focus time, streaks, rollover patterns and stale tasks, so you can plan a realistic day, not just a longer list.

Inkroll is the companion app for people who love writing by hand but hate losing their notes. Keep a digital index of everything in your physical notebooks (page numbers, titles, notes, tags, and photos) so you can always find what you wrote, even years later. -- WHY INKROLL -- Your paper notebooks are irreplaceable. But finding a specific idea, quote, or sketch from six months ago is another story. Inkroll solves this by giving each notebook entry a searchable digital record, linked to the exact page in the exact notebook where it lives. -- FEATURES -- • Multiple Notebooks — organise entries across as many notebooks as you own, each with its own colour. • Page Entries — log the page number, a title, a note, and tags for any page worth remembering. • Full-Text Search — instantly find entries by title, note content, or tag name across all your notebooks. • Tags — colour-coded tags let you group related entries across different notebooks. • Widget — glance at your most recent entry straight from your Home Screen (small and medium sizes). • Quick Entry — add an entry to your default notebook without leaving the Home Screen widget. -- INKROLL PRO -- One-time purchase. No subscription, ever. • Photo Attachments — photograph the page and attach it to your entry. Tap to view full-screen. • iCloud Sync — your entire index syncs automatically across every iPhone and iPad on your Apple ID. • Export as PDF — generate a clean, printable PDF of any notebook's entries. • Export as CSV — export a spreadsheet-ready file for use in Excel, Numbers, or any data tool. -- DESIGNED FOR ANALOG LOVERS -- Inkroll doesn't try to replace your notebooks. It makes them smarter. Write with your favourite pen, on your favourite paper — then take ten seconds to log the page in Inkroll. That's it. No subscriptions. No cloud lock-in. Your data lives in your iCloud account.
