Eisenhour: Daily Planner

Most to-do apps make lists. Eisenhour makes decisions. It starts with two questions the Eisenhower method has asked for seventy years: is it important, and is it urgent? Four quadrants sort everything: do it now, schedule it, delegate it, or let it go. Then Eisenhour does what matrix apps never do: it turns those decisions into hours. DECIDE WHAT MATTERS • Capture tasks in seconds; triage them into quadrants when you're ready • Steps, due dates and a focus timer on every task • Q2, important but not urgent, is where the app gently pushes you: planning before deadlines, health before symptoms, family before repair BLOCK THE TIME • Drag tasks onto a real day timeline in 15-minute steps • Your Google, work, and iCloud calendars appear beside your plan. Eisenhour reads the calendars already on your iPhone, nothing to connect • Copy a block out to one of those calendars as a real event, repeats and all, so your plan shows up wherever you already check your day (Pro) • A Next Block card always shows what's coming SEE WHERE YOUR LIFE GOES • A focus timer that logs every session (and honest manual logging for the hours you forgot to time) • A contribution-style heatmap of your focused hours • Life areas with weekly targets and streaks, so work doesn't quietly swallow health, family, and learning A CARD YOU CAN HAND TO SOMEONE • Build a business or personal card inside the app: name, title, phone, email, links with names that read as names • Share it as an image, or as a PDF whose phone, email, and links are genuinely tappable • Keep several: work, personal, side business (one card free, more with Pro) • Send any task the same way, steps and all, as plain text MADE FOR SCATTERED DAYS If your to-do list keeps growing and the week goes somewhere without asking you, this is built for that. For people with ADHD or a tired executive function, the four boxes, one next block, and a timer that rings on a locked phone are what make a plan hold. Nothing nags: no streak guilt, no nagging for ratings, no red badges. REMINDERS AND THE SMALL THINGS • A notification when a block starts, or any number of minutes before, if you switch it on • Swipe right to finish a task, swipe left to delete, one Undo for both • Add a task straight into a quadrant, or long-press a tile to do it • Yesterday's unfinished blocks offered back each morning: move them to today, or let them go • Share today's matrix as an image or a PDF • Repeating blocks are free. So is the matrix, the calendar and the timer YOURS ALONE Eisenhour is local-first. Your tasks, your focus history, your card: all of it lives on your iPhone and rides your normal iCloud backup. No account to create, no login, no server to trust, no tracking. The privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. The one thing that can ever leave is a block you choose to copy to a calendar, and that goes out through your own calendar account, not through us.
