GSD Task Manager vs Again

GSD ("Get Stuff Done") helps you answer one question: what should I work on next? Every task is framed on two honest axes — urgent and important — and lands in one of four quadrants: Do First, Schedule, Delegate, Eliminate. The Eisenhower matrix is a decades-old decision tool, and GSD keeps it that way: one calm surface, one decision at a time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tasks live on your device. GSD works fully offline, with no account, no sign-up, and nothing sent anywhere. Optional sync is there if you want it — sign in with Apple, Google, or GitHub and your tasks stay in step across iPhone, iPad, and the GSD web app. Your choice, never a requirement. CAPTURE WITHOUT BREAKING STRIDE Type one line. Shorthand does the sorting: • !! marks urgent and important — straight to Do First • ! urgent, * important • #tags organize as you type Share a link or text from any app and it becomes a task. A Home Screen widget keeps today's focus in view. DEPTH UNDER A CALM SURFACE The grid stays simple; the power sits one layer down. • Subtasks, tags, notes, and due dates with reminders • Recurring tasks — daily, weekly, monthly • Dependencies: see what's blocked and what's blocking • Built-in time tracking with estimates and timers • Snooze, archive, and auto-archive to keep the board honest FIND ANYTHING Smart views slice your tasks the way you think — Today's Focus, This Week, Overdue Backlog, Ready to Work — or build your own with filters. A command palette puts every task and screen one tap away (⌘K with a keyboard). PROGRESS, MEASURED HONESTLY A dashboard shows completion trends, quadrant balance, tracked time, and upcoming deadlines. No badges, no manufactured rewards, no pressure to open the app — just an accurate picture of how you're doing. DESIGNED FOR iOS, NOT PORTED Native SwiftUI throughout. Swipe actions, context menus, dark mode, and an iPad layout built for the larger canvas. VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion respected everywhere. No ads. No tracking. No attention engineering. Capture what matters, decide once, and get back to your day.

The list that resets itself. Again is a private daily checklist for the routines you repeat every morning, afternoon, and evening. Add your tasks once, organize them by time of day, and cross them off with a satisfying hand-drawn strike. Return tomorrow to the exact same list — fresh, unmarked, ready again. NOT A HABIT TRACKER Again has no streaks, no missed-day warnings, no charts, no scores, and no leaderboards. The crossed-off list itself is the reward. Missed a day? The app already forgot. Come back when you're ready — no guilt, nothing to protect. FOUR TIMES OF DAY (PLUS A BACKLOG) Morning. Afternoon. Evening. Anytime. Organize your routines by when they actually fit your day. Pick specific weekdays for any task, so a gym routine can skip weekends automatically. Keep anything without a fixed time in No Schedule, a backlog tab for the things you'll get to eventually. Switch between tabs in a single tap — each holds its own list and its own empty state. FOUR TIMES OF DAY Morning. Afternoon. Evening. Anytime. Organize your routines by when they actually fit your day, without rigid scheduling. Switch between tabs in a single tap — each holds its own list and its own empty state. A REAL DAILY RESET Again stores completions per calendar day, not as permanent checkmarks. Every new day starts with the same routines, uncrossed and ready. Set your own day-start hour — night owls can make "today" start at 2 AM instead of midnight. DESIGNED TO FEEL GOOD A hand-drawn, slightly irregular strikethrough animation. An optional soft pencil-scratch sound. Native haptic feedback for crossing off, restoring, reordering, and finishing your whole list. A cheerful little celebration when you cross off everything for the day. MADE TO LAST Drag to reorder your tasks. Swipe to edit or delete. Suggested first tasks to get you started (drink water, stretch, read, make the bed, take a walk). Large, readable typography with full support for Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No cloud sync. No analytics. No third-party tracking. All your checklist data stays on your device — nothing is ever sent anywhere. Core functionality works fully in airplane mode. YOUR DATA, YOURS TO KEEP Export a human-readable JSON backup any time from Settings. Import it on another device, or email it to yourself. Your routines never leave your device unless you choose to move them. MAKE IT YOURS Choose your own accent color from a full hue/saturation wheel, or pick from curated presets. Light, dark, or system appearance. Four text sizes. An optional daily reminder at whatever time works for you. Tag related tasks with a name and color of your own choosing — "Work," "Kids," "Gym" — so everything under a tag is easy to spot at a glance. Again isn't trying to track your life or gamify your mornings. It's a quiet tool for the things you do again and again — cross them off, and start fresh tomorrow.
