Customizable to do list app
The Eisenhower Matrix is the productivity framework created by arguably one of the most productive humans ever to have stepped foot on this planet - Dwight Eisenhower. Dwight’s legendary list of accolades include serving two terms as President of the United States, launching NASA, Supreme Commander of NATO and even operating as a Commander in. Eisenhower Matrix - Priority & Time Management is a handy planner for your Mac. The program is based on the Eisenhower method, where tasks are divided according to their importance degree. The tool comes with a convenient calendar for easy navigation. The app includes 4 sections - urgent, important, secondary, and unnecessary.
Best Eisenhower Matrix App
Amazing Marvin is a flexible to do list app that can be setup as an Eisenhower Matrix App that fits you like a glove.
Amazing Marvin
(setup as Todoist)
Todoist has nowhere near the amount of flexibility and friendliness of a UX as Marvin does.
I find Marvin to beat out Todoist in almost every way.
After seeing Marvin, with its huge amount of strategies, my longtime favourite Todoist seems boring to me, so it's hard to change back again.
Amazing Marvin has all the tools I’d been using together in one place. It’s like if Todoist never stopped growing.
Amazing marvin is... well, amazing. Probably one of the best project management / to-do list apps I've ever tried (I'm a big Todoist user).
I discovered Amazing Marvin 6 months ago and it is MUCH better than any other app I used in the past (Todoist, TickTick, etc).
