YWGSDYou Will Get Stuff Done

The core idea

Tasks become real calendar blocks

Your to-do list stops being a list and becomes your day.

A to-do list tells you what to do and never when, so it grows until you stop looking at it. Tell us how long a job takes, when it's due and which hours it's allowed, and it gets a real slot around the meetings you already have. You stop asking "what should I work on" and start asking "what's next".

How to use it

Calendar → Add task (or Tasks → Add task). What needs doing, How long and Priority are all you have to fill in. Due, Not before, When can this happen and Notes are there if you want them. Press Schedule it and the block shows up straight away.

The honest version

Every task needs a duration. That's the one bit of thinking we can't do for you. The inbox is the escape hatch — capture now, guess the length later. A block shorter than about twenty-five minutes is drawn taller than it is, because a five-pixel sliver is not a thing anyone can read or tap; see The day, drawn to scale.

The day rearranges itself

Whatever happens, your day moves itself. You don't re-plan.

Every planner dies the same way. Real life drifts from the plan, fixing it by hand is a chore, so you quit. Here the whole day gets rebuilt on every change. A meeting lands or gets cancelled. Something urgent comes up and jumps the queue. You finish early, or block off an afternoon, or move a deadline. The work finds the next gap each time, so the plan never goes stale enough to walk away from.

How to use it

Nothing. It happens on every change, and every time you open a page.

The honest version

It rebuilds when something changes or when you look, not on a timer in the background. So it's right whenever you're there to see it, and not before.

While it rebuilds, Rebuilding your day… shows at the top of the page — just above the tabs on the iPhone — so a tap never looks like it didn't land. What you changed shows the moment you change it: the tick, the new task, the new length. Where things land follows a moment later. Calendar events are read just after a page opens rather than before it, so a meeting added in the last few minutes can take one more page load to appear.

Nothing disappears quietly

The only way work leaves your calendar is you marking it done, or cancelling it.

This is the whole promise. Things happen, and some days you don't get to it. It rolls into the next opening on its own and stays in front of you, so when you see it again you finish it, rethink it or reprioritise it, instead of forgetting it existed. It never slips quietly into the past. Overdue work changes colour instead of vanishing. There's no pile of quietly dropped tasks, so you can stop keeping a secret list next to the app.

How to use it

Close a task deliberately — Done or Cancel task in the task panel. Ignoring one doesn't remove it; it moves.

Reschedule everything, one button

One button, and the day's rebuilt from what's true now.

Sometimes the plan's just wrong and you'd rather start over than edit it. We kept this one from Motion, where it's the control everybody loves.

How to use it

Calendar → Reschedule all. Pinned blocks stay pinned.

Everything goes in one pool

Every job you've got, one plan. It all comes out of the same day.

Nobody gets a fresh 24 hours for each job. The day job, the business you're starting, Thursday's class and the stuff at home all come out of the same day, and none of them checks with the others before booking it. Split them into workspaces or separate apps and each one thinks you're free. So there's nothing to set up here. No workspaces, no projects, no folders. If you said you'd do it, it goes in, and it lands around every meeting on every calendar you've connected.

How to use it

Nothing to set up. Add the task like any other. Three things help when you've got a lot going on:

The honest version

There are no projects, folders or labels. That's the point, not a gap. So there's no "show me everything for client A" view; if you need to tell jobs apart at a glance, put it in the task name. It's one person's plan, not a team tool, and nothing's shared. Some workplaces won't let outside apps read the work calendar. If yours won't, we can't see those meetings and will book work over them. Block time covers a one-off, but there's no way to add repeating busy time by hand.
