I made this for myself. I have ADHD, and one long to-do list just freezes me. I can't tell what's actually on fire and what can wait, so I end up doing nothing. So I built the thing I needed, and figured some of you might need it too. Here's how it works. You write a task down before it leaves your head, then you put it in one of four buckets: - Do Now - Plan - Handle Soon - Later Four buckets. Not twenty lists, not folders inside folders. Just four places for a thing to go. What's in it: - Quick capture, so writing a task down isn't its own little chore - An Inbox for everything you haven't sorted yet - Recurring tasks: Daily, Weekdays, Weekly, or Monthly. You can also type a tag like @daily when you capture - Drag tasks into the order you want in Inbox and the Matrix - A Completed list, so finished stuff goes somewhere instead of staring at you - Siri and App Shortcuts, if you'd rather just say it out loud - Home Screen widgets, so your matrix stays visible without opening anything - Five curated color themes plus one custom palette. Curated themes stay contrast-checked in light and dark; a custom palette can keep the colors you pick even when contrast is low - Rename the four buckets to whatever your brain actually calls them - Optional private iCloud sync, so your tasks can show up on your iPhone and iPad - German, Spanish, Italian, and Simplified Chinese, with English as the fallback About your data: it lives on your device. You don't make an account, you don't sign in, and I don't run analytics or hand your stuff to anyone. The sync is your own iCloud, between your own Apple devices. It's free. No subscription, no ads. iPhone and iPad, iOS 18 and up. One honest note: this won't fix your brain, and I'd be lying if I said it would. It's just a small, quiet place to put your tasks that didn't make me feel worse to use. I built it by myself, around how my own brain actually works. That was the whole goal.

Make today count with Habit Tracker: Planner Routine, a calm daily habit tracker for building routines, reaching goals, protecting focus time, and understanding your progress. Create habits for anything you want to build or quit. Track simple checkmarks, counts, durations, or custom values. Plan routines by day, category, time of day, start date, end date, and custom weekly schedules. See progress without digging. Your Today view shows daily goals, completion rate, category filters, and quick logging in one clean dashboard. Add notes after important completions so your habit history captures the reason behind the result, not just the checkmark. Works with Apple Health. Link supported habits and your progress fills in automatically from the Health app: steps, activity minutes, active energy, sleep, water, heart rate variability, and mindfulness minutes. Values you log in Habit Tracker can be saved back to Apple Health too. Health data only syncs after you grant permission, and sync is included for free. Turn consistency into insight with stats, streaks, heatmaps, and reports. Review weekly, monthly, and yearly progress, spot your best days, compare sleep and hydration trends, and connect mood logs with habit completion to learn what helps your days feel better. Protect your streaks on hard days. Every week of completed days banks a Streak Shield that is spent automatically to save a streak when you miss a day. Skip a day on purpose without losing momentum, or turn on Vacation Mode so nothing breaks while you are away. Get a nudge only when it matters. Smart streak risk alerts warn you in the evening before a streak ends, and an optional evening check-in lists whatever is still open for the day. Both stay quiet when everything is already done. Stay focused with a built-in focus timer. Run timed sessions, save deep work minutes automatically, and attach focus time to any duration habit. Keep habits close with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Check progress, quick-log routines, and keep weekly, monthly, and yearly report widgets visible throughout the day.
