A quiet to-do app for Mac, based on the Eisenhower matrix.

Opening it for the first time? macOS asks you to approve it once. Here's how.

1. 1. Jot it downNew tasks wait in the Inbox.
2. 2. Put it in a boxDrag it to where it belongs.
3. 3. It moves when dueDeadlines near? It goes to Do first.
4. 4. Tick it offDone, quietly. No pop-ups.

The em stands for the Eisenhower Matrix: every task goes into one of four boxes (do first, schedule, delegate, or drop), so it's always clear what to work on next. Tasks move to Urgent by themselves as their deadlines approach, and overdue ones are quietly marked in red. There are no notifications, no account and no servers. Your tasks stay on your Mac, saved as you go and backed up every day.
