About Focus Six: Daily Task Planner
Six tasks. One window. Every day. Focus Six is built on the Ivy Lee Method: each day you pick the six things that matter most, put them in order, and work through them. Six is a hard limit, not a suggestion. That limit is what makes the method work. YOUR OWN FOCUS WINDOW Most planners reset at midnight. Focus Six does not. You set the window your day runs in, whether that is 08:00 to 17:00 or 19:00 to 02:00. The day starts when your window starts, ends when it ends, and a live countdown shows what is left. PLAN, THEN WORK Plan your six in one sheet. Drag to reorder. Save the tasks you repeat as favorites and drop them in with one tap. When the window opens, your six sit in front of you as a grid. Nothing hidden, nothing to scroll. COMPLETE WITH INTENT Press and hold a task to complete it. Hold long enough and it detonates: a full screen shockwave, a camera shake, escalating haptics. Finishing something should feel like something. POINTS AND STREAKS Every completed task is 10 points. Clear all six and you earn the 20 point all-six bonus. Your streak counts consecutive days where you planned six and cleared six, nothing less. Both are derived from your real history, so they always tell the truth. COMPARE WITH FRIENDS Connect Game Center and see your points next to your friends. Fully optional, fully reversible, friends only. Leave it off and the app never touches Game Center. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU One reminder before your window closes, so open tasks do not slip. You choose how far ahead. That is it. REVIEW AND HISTORY When the window closes you get a review: what you cleared, what you earned, where your streak stands. A monthly heatmap shows your consistency at a glance. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A small widget shows your progress and the task that is up next. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign up. No analytics, no tracking, no third party SDKs. Your tasks sync between your own devices through your private iCloud and nowhere else. BUILT FOR IPHONE Native SwiftUI and SwiftData. Light and dark, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels throughout, reduced motion respected. Nothing borrowed from the web. FOCUS SIX PREMIUM Premium unlocks full history and the monthly heatmap (free: current week), the Home Screen widget, unlimited favorites (free: three), and the planning reminder. Available monthly or yearly with a 3 day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated September 24, 2026
New Features: - Unfinished tasks now move into your next plan. They are marked, so you can see where they came from and check them before you start. - Planning with the keyboard is easier: you write each task on a large card, and "Next" takes you straight to the next free slot. - Settings now shows your Premium plan and when it renews or ends. Improvements: - The "Done" button in planning is gone. It closed your plan instead of starting your day. Closing with the X now keeps everything you typed. - The Premium offer has a new design and shows more clearly what you get. - The legal documents and the article about the Ivy Lee method now open right inside the app. - With Premium, you no longer briefly see locks after reinstalling the app. Thank you to everyone who shares feedback and ideas.
