Taska

You know GTD. You just couldn't keep it going. This is for you. What stops it is the effort. Sort everything into lists, name it, review every week... and you are back to a plain to-do list. Taska is the GTD loop itself, with the heavy parts made light. ■ Capturing is not deciding Whatever comes to mind goes into the Inbox with no name and no place. The field returns to you, so you can throw the next one in straight after. You can capture without opening the app: - A Home Screen widget (with the count waiting to be clarified) - A button on the Lock Screen or in Control Center - The share sheet in other apps - Siri and Shortcuts, out loud, while walking ■ Clarify one at a time Taska asks one question at a time. What is this? What kind of action? Is it yours to do? Once there is an answer, the questions stop. The name is built from what you wrote, so you are never handed a blank field. When no name comes, ask the AI for a draft (Premium). It moves only when you ask, and marks drafts as drafts. ■ See only what you can do now Next Actions has two views. - Available now — only what passes where you are, the tools and time you have, and the energy you have left - All — the whole list, with what you cannot start yet faded and the reason beside it At @Home, nothing from @Work appears. Away from your desk, switch @Computer off. Place and time are judged by your phone; the rest is yours to say. ■ It tells you when you can act Set a defer date, a place and contexts as conditions. When all are met, the action appears in Available now and can alert you: when the date arrives, when you reach the place (pick a one-off place on the map), or when the action ahead of it is done. Arriving can sound an alarm until you stop it, even with the app closed (iOS 26 and later). ■ A stalled project does not stay stalled Finish an action and Taska asks: what is the next move on this project? When nothing comes to mind, pick from the action ideas you jotted down. ■ Delegate it, then stop remembering it Send a link. If they use Taska, the task lands in their Inbox, and accepted, declined and done come back to your Waiting For list on their own — so you never have to ask "how's that going?" Anything waiting more than seven days gets a flag on Home. ■ Above your projects "I want to live more healthily" becomes a project that never ends, and gets forgotten in Someday/Maybe. Four horizons sit above: Areas of Focus, Goals, Vision, Purpose and Principles. Nothing here holds actions — they are for reading back over. ■ Once a week, trust the system again The Weekly Review looks past the lists. It names the actions untouched for 30 days, shows what you finished this week, then asks: what would you change about how you work? ■ You can always turn back Everything you make can be deleted. Anything that cannot be undone asks first, and shows exactly what happens, in numbers. What you delete waits in the Trash. Export any time, free: readable (Markdown) or a copy with nothing missing (JSON). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ■ Pricing The app is free and shows ads.

Ordinal

Ordinalは、決めることを減らすためのアプリです。 やることを並べるのではなく、順番を確定させます。開いたときに見えるのは次の1つで、何から手をつけるかを毎回選び直す必要がありません。 部屋で分ける プロジェクトごとに部屋を作ります。部屋の中にいる間、ほかの部屋のタスクは見えません。壁の向こうを気にせず、目の前の並びだけを見られます。 順番が決まっている タスクには01、02、03と番号が振られます。長押しして動かすと、指を離した瞬間に上から順に振り直されます。同率も、迷う余地もありません。 Today 各部屋の先頭から3件だけが集まります。手で入れる箱ではなく、部屋の順番とタスクの順番から決まります。並べ替えれば、ここに出るものが変わります。 Focus 1つのタスクだけを表示します。ナビゲーションは消え、経過時間だけが画面の上端に細く出ます。終えたら画面を出ずに、同じ部屋の次の1件が立ち上がります。 地層 完了したものは、日ごとの層になって積もります。多く片付いた日は厚く、静かな日は薄く。数を競うためではなく、経てきたものを見るためにあります。 カレンダー iPhoneのカレンダーにある予定を、タスクの期日と並べて表示します。読み取るだけで、予定を作ったり変えたりすることはありません。表示するカレンダーは選べます。 ウィジェットとApple Watch ロック画面に、今やる1件。ホーム画面に、今日の3件と部屋ごとの残り。Apple Watchにも同じ1件が届きます。 要求してきません 通知は初期状態ですべてオフです。バッジも、連続日数も、達成率もありません。開いたときにだけ働きます。 広告はありません。トラッキングもしません。アプリ自身がネットワーク通信を行わないので、あなたのタスクが端末の外に出ることはありません。 無料です すべての機能が無料で、支援した人としない人でアプリの動作に差はありません。続けるための支援を受け取る場所を用意してありますが、それだけです。
