Oasa is a calm, mindful productivity app for people who want to focus on what matters — without the guilt, badges, and red overdue counters of traditional to-do lists. WORK FRAMED AS A GARDEN, NOT A CHORE LIST Instead of folders and lists, you have Oases — gentle workspaces for projects, ideas, and life areas. Each task is a Seed you plant. Each focus session is time you spend Tending. And every action quietly grows your private Zen Garden — a living visual of your accumulated effort that never shrinks, never resets, never punishes. THREE WAYS TO PLAN, ONE FOR EVERY MOOD • Simple — a clean prioritized list when you just want to capture and do. • 80/20 — surface the Vital Seeds that matter most by ranking impact against effort. • Hyperfocus — sort tasks into Deep Work, Shallow, Distraction, and Let Go quadrants so you spend your best hours on real work. FEATURES • Plant Oases for every project, with optional due dates and reminders • Add Seeds with notes, due dates, priority, impact/effort, or focus quadrants • Break Seeds into Sprouts (subtasks) and tick them off in flow • Tend mode — built-in focus timer (15, 25, 45, 60 minutes or custom) • Today Pulse — an editorial daily snapshot of what's open, overdue, and golden • Bento Lenses — switch between Today, Loose, Matrix, and Focus views on Home • Insights — calm weekly, monthly, and quarterly analytics • Garden — eight progress stages, from barren pot to paradise • Gentle notifications and reminders that respect your attention • Apple Sign-In, Google Sign-In, and email accounts • Full light and dark mode • Available in 11 languages DESIGNED FOR CALM, NOT URGENCY Oasa rejects the patterns that make productivity apps stressful. Your Garden only grows. There are no streaks to break, no red overdue badges, no guilt loops. Colors are warm and editorial — sage green, sand, antique gold — motion is slow and meditative, and every destructive action asks twice. PERFECT FOR • Knowledge workers, creatives, founders, and freelancers who feel overwhelmed • Students balancing coursework, projects, and life • Anyone tired of clinical task apps who wants something kinder PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your tasks belong to you. Oasa stores credentials in the device secure store and keeps the data it touches minimal.
