Phaseboard

For the moments when products, prototypes, side projects, and late-night ideas are all alive at once. Phaseboard is a quiet, beautiful place to keep them, with each one's current stage, progress, and the one thing to do next. Every project breaks down the same way. From outermost to innermost: project, stage, task, subtask. Statuses roll up automatically as you check things off, so the dashboard always shows which projects deserve your time today. Projects now support deadlines, with a countdown on Home and on the project page. The Calendar page lists every deadline and task due date by month. Three new free widgets show the calendar and upcoming deadlines on the Home Screen. Two styles are available: Quiet, with soft lines and plenty of room, and Classic, the original engineering-manual look. Switch between them any time from the side menu. Phaseboard is built natively for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your projects sync privately through your own iCloud, with full offline support. Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen views, and a Mac menu bar tile keep what you're working on always in sight. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.

Make your next estimate better informed. Estimate Coach compares explicit task estimates with focus time logged against completed work, then suggests bounded adjustments for upcoming actions in the same category. HOW IT WORKS 1. Complete actions with explicit estimates and linked focus logs. Open Insights โ†’ Estimate Coach. 2. Review category evidence drawn from the last 90 days. At least three qualifying completed actions are required for a suggestion. 3. Read a proposed estimate and confirm it individually. The coach leaves planned, completed and unsupported actions alone. 4. Undo an applied suggestion while that action and its planning state remain unchanged. The same evidence cannot repeatedly multiply an estimate. 5. Share the report if you want to discuss your planning assumptions. Reports contain action titles and category context. Keep the existing action, focus-log and day-planning workflows. The coach adds a review step informed by your own recorded work. WHAT TO KNOW Logged focus is not elapsed working time, and missing logs can bias suggestions. Estimates are rounded to five minutes and bounded to 5โ€“480 minutes and half to twice the original estimate. Suggestions do not move fixed commitments, modify plans or promise accurate completion times. Editing the action or planning it can make Undo unavailable. Built for iPhone and iPad. No account required for this workflow.
