A keyboard-driven task manager for Mac and iPhone. AI triage clears your inbox one decision at a time, and a guided weekly review walks every project so nothing stalls. Fast, native, and local-first.
Request alpha access →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.
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.
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.
Momentum doesn't just store your tasks — it surfaces the ones you'd rather not look at.
Anything untouched past a week lands here. Confront it, break it down, park it, or drop it — deciding beats scrolling past.
Low-effort tasks for depleted moments. Open it, take the top item. Small wins rebuild momentum.
Everything you've handed off, with follow-up dates. It resurfaces when it's time to nudge.
Time-block tasks onto your real calendar. When-dates and deadlines kept distinct — your plan and the world's requirements never blur.
Swift, not Electron. Sub-second launch, full keyboard control, capture from any app with ⌃Space.
One-time purchase on the App Store. Local-first data you can export, iCloud sync that's additive, no telemetry.
If you came up on Things 3, the layout and keyboard discipline will feel familiar. We honor the lineage — and add the follow-through.
