Taskrix

iPhone & iPad

Time is the only currency you can’t earn more of.

Taskrix asks two questions about each task, then tells you the one thing no other task app will: how much of your week you actually chose, and how much of it chased you.

The Taskrix dashboard on iPhone: eleven tasks sorted into four quadrants — Do Now, Schedule, Delegate and Eliminate — with tags like #work and #home, and a capture bar at the bottom.

Every task lands in one of four places. You never choose the place — you answer two questions and the place follows.

2

questions per task. That is the entire input.

4

places it can land. You never choose one.

1

number for how much of the week you chose.

0

accounts. Sync runs through your own iCloud.

30

days a deleted task waits before it is gone.

The weekly review

50%

Chosen, not chased

Most task apps count what you finished.

The interesting question is what you finished instead. Taskrix scores every week on one thing: how much of it was important before it was urgent — work you got to on purpose, rather than work that arrived shouting.

It reads itself out loud, too, if you’d rather listen than look on a Sunday evening.

The Taskrix weekly review: a 50% arc labelled chosen, not chased, the word Intentional, a plain-English explanation of the week, and a breakdown showing 6 finished, 3 protected and 3 urgent.

It takes three things.

01

Write it down

One tap, keyboard already up. Or tell Siri, without opening anything.

02

Answer twice

Urgent? Important? Two answers place it. Swipe them, or say them out loud.

03

See the week

One number for how much you chose. It moves, and you can watch it move.

Two questions

Sort a task in two swipes.

Is it urgent? Is it important? Everything else about a task — the project, the label, the priority flag you’d have agonised over — is a decision you no longer have to make.

Swipe left or right, or tap. Taskrix takes the two answers and puts the task where it belongs, then gets out of the way.

The Taskrix organizer asking “Is it urgent?” about the task “Send invitation for work dinner”, with a card ready to be swiped and a step 1 of 2 badge.

  • Reorganise the bookmarks

The top-right box is the one that matters. It’s the work that never shouts, so it’s the work that quietly doesn’t happen.

Voice sortingPro

Sort a backlog while driving.

Tap the microphone and Taskrix reads each unsorted task aloud, then asks. You answer out loud. It moves to the next one.

Taskrix“Call the dentist.”
Taskrix“Is it important?”
You“Yes.”
Taskrix“Is it urgent?”
You“No.”
Taskrix“Schedule.”

Recognition happens entirely on your device. Nothing you say is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere — and the Yes and No buttons stay on screen the whole time, for the moments you can’t talk.

Across weeksPro

One week is noise. Eight is a pattern.

Taskrix keeps every week you’ve recorded and tells you what they add up to, in sentences rather than charts.

“#home arrives. #writing is chosen.”

Almost everything you finished under one tag was urgent, and almost none of the other was. That’s the difference between work that lands on you and work you go to.

“You let go of 4 tasks.”

Four things felt urgent enough to write down and turned out not to matter. Deciding that is the method working, not a list failing.

“8 protected weeks.”

Weeks where important work got through rather than being pushed aside. This only ever goes up — a hard week doesn’t take one away.

The Taskrix history screen: this week at 50% urgent, and a list of observations including “You protected 15 of the 12 you meant to” and “#home arrives. #writing is chosen.”

Focus

Protect the time you picked.

Choosing the right task is half of it. The other half is actually sitting with it. Pick a task, pick a length, and Taskrix counts down to nothing but the clock.

Ten, fifteen or twenty-five minutes free — forty-five, sixty and custom lengths with Pro, along with the different clock faces. Sessions, focus time and your day streak are kept for the week.

The Taskrix focus screen with a 25-minute timer, length options from 10 to 60 minutes, and a week summary showing 4 sessions and 2 hours 35 minutes of focus time.

While a session runs there is nothing else on the screen. That is the whole feature.

Home screen

Do Now, without opening the app.

The urgent and important box, on your home screen, small or medium. Most days that’s the only part of Taskrix you need to see.

“Capture in Taskrix” adds a task through Siri from anywhere — locked phone, AirPods, CarPlay — and it lands in the unsorted pile waiting for its two questions.

An iPhone home screen with the small Taskrix widget showing Do Now, the task “Send the signed lease back”, and two more.
An iPhone home screen with the medium Taskrix widget listing four Do Now tasks and a count of seven.

What Taskrix doesn’t do

No one can see your tasks. Not as a promise — as a consequence of where they are kept.

There’s no account. Sync runs through your own iCloud, under your Apple Account, where there is no console on the other end and no way in. Voice recognition happens on your phone and nothing you say is recorded. Nothing you write, say or tag ever reaches the developer.

Through version 1.2 this said your tasks never left your phone. Sync changed that, so the wording changed too — they travel now, but they travel to your account rather than anyone else’s.

The app does send anonymous counts of which features get used, so it’s clear what to build next and what to leave alone. No identifiers, nothing you typed, and one switch in Settings turns it off. The privacy policy explains exactly how that works rather than just promising it does.

Free and Pro

The method is free. Pro is for the history it builds.

You can sort tasks, run the matrix, use the widget and see your weekly score without paying anything, forever.
