Momentum turns your to-do list into a plan you can actually follow. Most task apps give you a longer and longer list. Momentum gives you a day. Capture what you need to do, then drag each task onto a visual timeline to block real time for it. In the morning you open Momentum and see exactly one thing: what you're doing right now, and what's next. TIME-BLOCK YOUR DAY • A clean, hour-by-hour timeline with a live "now" line • Drag tasks from your Inbox straight onto the day • Reschedule by dragging; nothing is ever more than a gesture away CAPTURE IN A TAP • Type one line — "Gym 6pm 45min" — and Momentum reads the time and length for you • Everything is parsed on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere. FOCUS ON ONE THING • Tap the block you're on for a calm, full-screen countdown • A Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Break a block into a checklist and tick steps off as you work THE MOMENTUM MAP • Not a generic calendar — a heatmap of your follow-through • Every day is tinted by how much of your plan you completed • See your streak, completion, and focused hours at a glance NOTHING FALLS THROUGH • Unfinished blocks roll back into your Inbox so you consciously re-plan them • A gentle streak keeps you coming back WORKS WITH YOUR LIFE • See your calendar events (Google, iCloud, Exchange — any account added in iOS) right on the timeline • Add a block or ask "what's next" with Siri and Shortcuts • A Home and Lock Screen widget shows your current and next block PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account.
