Focus Matrix
Eisenhower matrix task manager for iPhone, iPad and Mac
What is Focus Matrix?
Focus Matrix is a personal task organizer built on the Eisenhower box, which sorts tasks into groups by urgency and importance. Tasks can be viewed as a matrix or as a list of sections, given due dates, reminders, repeats and tags, and are moved to the urgent side automatically as a deadline approaches. The app is free to download for iPhone, iPad and Mac, and a Pro upgrade adds sync between devices, Calendar sync and a link to the Be Focused timer.
Focus Matrix has a free plan. Paid plans start at $2.99 per month, or $17.99 per year. See every plan
