I’ve tried all kinds of to-do and note-taking tools — Notion, Obsidian, UpNote, Apple Notes, and many others — but none of them really stuck for long.

So I went back to writing things by hand. It turned out to be surprisingly effective — clearer, simpler, and easier to focus.

Then I discovered the Eisenhower Matrix, a simple framework for distinguishing between what’s important and what’s urgent. After using it by hand for over a month, it became a natural habit for organizing my tasks.

So I decided to build a Mac app around it. I borrowed some ideas from GTD, like adding an Inbox, and made it easy to drag tasks into the Matrix to organize them visually.

It’s a minimal, local-first app — no account, no cloud — focused entirely on one thing: helping you stay focused on what truly matters.

If you’re into frameworks like GTD or PARA, you might enjoy giving it a try.
