For brains that struggle to start: a task manager built as a prosthetic for executive function

Onward handles the when, where, and how so you can show up and focus on the what — in the present moment, while still planning ahead.

Works instantly in your browser. Native apps are in development — Android first, then iOS.

Free while Onward is in beta — no card required.

We'll always keep a free tier. Post-beta pricing isn't set yet, and we'll email you before anything ever costs money.

Built by one person who needed a task manager their own brain could actually use.

Onward's Now screen showing the ranked list of what's actionable right now

Now

One ranked list of what's actionable right now. The app curates and ranks it — you never have to.

Triggers

Tasks surface themselves when their time, place, or condition is actually met — not before.

No shame

Everything is reversible. Missed work is automated toward resolution, never flagged as failure.
