Most task apps just help you hoard.

A growing inbox and a longer list feel like progress. They aren't. That's fake momentum — motion you can measure but never actually make.

Real momentum is work actually moving: an inbox at zero because every item got a decision, projects that each have a next action, a today list short enough to be honest. Getting there takes the two things task apps let you skip — processing what comes in and reviewing what's in flight. Momentum is built so you don't skip them.

Triage

Inbox zero stops being a virtue. It becomes a default.

Press ⌘T. Every inbox item gets a suggested routing — do it now, a project, Today, Someday, Reference, delegate it, trash it. You confirm each one with a keystroke; nothing files itself. And your corrections teach it how you sort, so by week three the suggestions are mostly just right.

Twenty items, a few minutes. Decided, not shuffled.

Weekly review

The review that actually happens.

Every task system dies the same way: projects stall quietly, lists fill with fiction, and one day you stop trusting the app. Momentum's weekly review is a wizard, not a resolution — every active project gets a decision (keep, with a real next action · hold · drop), then loose ends, then someday items.

Twenty minutes a week. The system stays honest, so you can stop keeping the real list in your head.

Honesty views

Views that argue with your list.

Momentum doesn't just store your tasks — it surfaces the ones you'd rather not look at.

Stale

Anything untouched past a week lands here. Confront it, break it down, park it, or drop it — deciding beats scrolling past.

Quick & Easy

Low-effort tasks for depleted moments. Open it, take the top item. Small wins rebuild momentum.

Waiting For

Everything you've handed off, with follow-up dates. It resurfaces when it's time to nudge.

The rest of it

Built like a Mac app should be.

Calendar-aware

Time-block tasks onto your real calendar. When-dates and deadlines kept distinct — your plan and the world's requirements never blur.

Native & fast

Swift, not Electron. Sub-second launch, full keyboard control, capture from any app with ⌃Space.

Buy it once

One-time purchase on the App Store. Local-first data you can export, iCloud sync that's additive, no telemetry.

Feels like home

If you came up on Things 3, the layout and keyboard discipline will feel familiar. We honor the lineage — and add the follow-through.
