Quadsheet is the paper habit that worked, made digital. Draw four boxes, label them however your week is actually divided, write the tasks for each box, and cross them off as you go. Each morning it offers you a fresh sheet. One sheet, four boxes you name yourself. One task marked next in each box. A bench for the projects that are not on the sheet right now. Start fresh in the morning and the crossed-off tasks go to History, by day; the open ones stay right where they are. No due dates, no reminders, no tags, no priorities. Just a bounded page, the way paper is bounded, and a few things paper could not do: mark what is next, keep an overflow bench, and look back at what you finished. Sign in with Apple, Google or an email link. Syncs between your phone, your tablet and your desk at quadsheet.app. Quadsheet is free to use. Quadsheet Plus is an optional subscription that adds sharing a box with someone, a second sheet, and saved box templates. Everything else stays free. Plus is billed monthly or yearly with a 14-day free trial, and the price is shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
