What you get
- Cards move themselvesA card with a deadline waits in Plan, prints how long it has left, and walks into Do on its own the morning it crosses your urgent line.
- One honest sentenceNot a score. A diagnosis, quoting the card counts that produced it — and sometimes it says you are busy on things that do not matter.
- Triage deals the board back at youOne card, two taps: does it matter, and when. A backlog of forty is about ninety seconds — and it doubles as the weekly review.
- The week, measuredYour estimates against the hours you actually have. Do can tell you it is fourteen hours of a twenty-five hour week before Wednesday does.
- Let go keeps a count, not a binNothing is deleted. It becomes the count of what you have deliberately declined to carry, which is the number people end up proudest of.
- Delegate asks whoAnd remembers how long they have had it. A card here with nobody on it is one you will end up doing yourself at eleven at night.
- Focus, banked against the boxOne card, a clock, and nothing else on the screen. The minutes are recorded against the box you spent them in, not just the task.
- Reflect: where the week actually wentHow much of what you finished was important work that still had runway — the whole thesis of the matrix as one percentage, week on week.
- One field, one EnterType the deadline, the estimate, the lane and the person into the sentence. The bar shows which box it will land in before you commit.
- A lane for each part of your lifeWork, home, the business, the wedding. Filter the board to one and "I am overwhelmed" becomes a problem with an actual shape.
- Brain dump into cards you choosePaste everything rattling around; it comes back as cards with a checkbox each. It never decides what matters, and never invents a deadline.
- A sheet for the wallHalf the value of a paper matrix is that it is in the room. This one prints as a real document, and survives the laptop being shut.
Is this for you?
- You are running two lives at oncea new business and a wedding, a job and a degree — and one of them is quietly losing.
- Your to-do list stopped meaning anythingbecause everything on it looks the same, and the oldest items are the ones that mattered.
- You have drawn this matrix beforeand it was genuinely useful for about four days, until the dates moved and the page did not.
- Every week is somehow a firefightand you would like something to say so out loud, with the numbers, before Friday.
- You say yes a little too easilyso the useful thing is not another list — it is a box for the things you are not going to do.
- You want one sentence, not a dashboardeleven seconds, one honest reading, and back to work.

About Quadrant
Everybody knows the four boxes. The reason nobody keeps one is that a paper matrix is a photograph: a task that was not urgent on Monday is on fire by Thursday and nothing on the page moved it, so by the second week the grid is quietly wrong. Quadrant splits the two axes properly. Importance is yours — a judgement the app never makes for you. Urgency is a clock: give a card a deadline and it sits in Plan until it crosses your urgent line, then walks into Do on its own, with the countdown printed on the card the whole time. Everything else is built on that. Triage deals a captured pile at you one card at a time, two taps each, so an evening of mental clutter is sorted before the kettle boils. The Reading is a single honest sentence at the top of the board — not a score, a diagnosis, and sometimes it says you are busy on things that do not matter. The Load bar puts your estimates against the hours you actually have, so Do can tell you it is fourteen hours of a twenty-five hour week before Wednesday does. Delegate asks who, and remembers how long they have had it. Let go keeps a count instead of a bin, because the number of things you have deliberately declined to carry turns out to be the one people are proudest of. There is a focus timer that banks its minutes against the box you spent them in, a weekly Reflect that shows where the time really went, a printable sheet for the wall, and full keyboard control for people who never touch the mouse.
