THREE: Made for procrastinators by procrastinators. The Refreshingly Simple Stress Free Todo List. THREE is designed to be a minimal task assistant that is non intrusive. Traditional todo lists add stress and complexity by making YOU track, categorize, and prioritize tasks. They're digital task masters that nag and confuse you until you give up in frustration. They punish you with incessant notifications when you're overdue on a task (which you would probably ignore anyways). THREE changes the way you manage tasks. Tasks go in. THREE will present you with three and only three tasks at any given time. As you deal with them, we'll keep track and tell you how you're doing. There are only three ways to action a task - Done, Defer, or Drop. When you are done with a task, it falls off your list. If you make a mistake - don't sweat it. Next time the task you entered erroneously appears in the list , just Drop it - we won't hold it against you. If you're looking at a task that you just don't want to deal with, Defer it. This tells us that a particular task is unpleasant and it gets prioritized lower. THREE isn't designed to keep you on top of every facet of your life. No meaningless trophies or achievements. Rather, THREE will slowly but surely change the course of your life and help point you in the right direction by keeping track of the stuff that matters to you and presenting them to you in a manageable fashion. THREE: Made for procrastinators by procrastinators.
Chronicle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Chronicle is a work journal designed to help you track what you actually did - not just what was easy to find later. Pull requests and published posts are easy to surface at review time. The Slack conversation where you unblocked a teammate, the thorough code review, the new hire you helped onboard - those are harder to remember and easy to leave off your self-evaluation. Chronicle gives you a lightweight place to log them as they happen, so that when review season comes around, your record is already there. Weekly goals, always in reach Create a pinned entry for your weekly priorities and it stays at the top of your list all week. When the week ends, pin your new goals - the old ones are archived alongside everything you logged, giving you context for how your priorities evolved over time. Organized when you need it Filter your entries by tag, date range, or both. At review time, pull up everything from the last period with a relevant tag and you have the raw material for a brag document - without having to reconstruct it from memory. iCloud sync Your entries are stored in your private iCloud account and sync across your iPhone and Mac. Your data belongs to you. Chronicle is a side project built to solve a real problem. It's opinionated, fast, and gets out of the way.
