I built FocusFour because I was busy all day but still missing the things that actually mattered.
FocusFour is a task manager based on the Eisenhower Matrix, built directly on top of Apple Reminders. Recently I added lightweight AI to help identify and surface tasks that are likely important but getting ignored.
What it does:
* Four-quadrant (important vs. urgent) task view
* Uses AI to highlight and reprioritize important tasks
* Native Apple Reminders integration (no new inbox, no migration)
* Local-first, no accounts
* iOS, iPadOS, macOS
I’m curious about two things:
* Whether AI-assisted prioritization is actually useful long-term
* Tradeoffs of building on system tools instead of owning all task data
Happy to answer questions or hear criticism.
