Features
Onward, the task manager for executive function, is one Task type that adapts, not a pile of separate list/project/event types. Here's what that unlocks.
- Now
- A single ranked list of the Tasks actionable right now, with the top pick foregrounded. Scroll past it and you drop into Schedule — the chronological agenda for everything ahead.
- Now Score
- Every Task on Now is ranked by a transparent, weighted score. Every factor is visible and every weight is yours to tune — never an opaque algorithm.
- Triggers
- A Task surfaces the instant its conditions actually hold — a time, a place, or both — and re-arms if they drop. No more digging through a list of things that aren't relevant yet.
- Capture
- Get a thought out of your head in one tap. Captured Tasks land in the Inbox with no pressure to file or date them right away — capture is not commitment.
- Capacity
- Onward tracks three independent energy pools — physical, mental, emotional — and matches Task demand to what you actually have left, not just what time slot is open.
- Momentum
- An opt-in, earn-only encouragement layer: a soft streak that never resets to zero, an adaptive goal that keeps pace with you, and nudges — never guilt, never a missed-day callout.
- Anti-shame lifecycle
- Nothing is ever just "failed." Missed Tasks are automated toward resolution — rescheduled, rolled forward, or quietly dropped — and every action is reversible.
- Agent
- Connect Onward to an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT (via MCP, the standard that lets them plug into apps) and it can create, arrange, and complete Tasks on your behalf — a co-equal way in, never a requirement.
