Who it's for

For people juggling a lot of things to do.

Students, freelancers, small teams: Prior is for anyone with too many tabs, lists and reminders scattered around.

The original idea hasn't changed: capture fast, decide what matters, and see your day at a glance, without a cluttered interface.

Importance and urgency

The Eisenhower matrix, at the heart of Prior.

Every task is placed by two questions: is it important? is it urgent?

Important and urgent gets done now. Important but not urgent gets planned. Urgent but minor gets delegated or handled quickly. The rest can wait.

Try the demo: move a task, check it off.
