Progress
Read full descriptionHide full description
Progress is an idea manager that takes you from planning an idea, through iteration, all the way to putting it into practice. Good ideas are rarely clear the first time. In Progress, you jot an idea down, then add a progress note every time you have a new thought, find something useful or try something out. With each iteration the idea settles and your thinking gets clearer. When it finally makes sense, mark it as started and go do it. Review regularly and see which things your attention has really gone to. Capture text, photos or voice; every step stays on a timeline, and the ideas you iterate on most rise to the top. Reminders are off by default and only appear when you ask for them. Your ideas sync through iCloud, no account needed.
