Install

Windows — Download Eisenhower.exe from the latest release and double-click. No installer, no dependencies, no admin rights. Tasks live in %APPDATA%\Eisenhower\tasks.json.

macOS — Download Eisenhower.dmg, mount it, drag Eisenhower.app into Applications. The build is unsigned, so first launch needs a right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper. Tasks live in ~/Library/Application Support/Eisenhower/tasks.json.

Features

• Add tasks straight into a quadrant (per-quadrant input bars) or via the global input column with a date picker
• Drag tasks between quadrants
• Adopt a task to start a live timer; accumulated time persists per task across sessions
• Filter the matrix by Today / Tomorrow / This Week / This Month / Past Due / Done
• Battery shows completion progress for the active filter
• Two donut charts: open tasks per quadrant, time tracked per quadrant
• Optional Google Calendar sync — tasks with due dates push as all-day events titled [QUADRANT] task text
• Window snaps to screen edges Aero-style (drag titlebar to edge)
• Frameless, dark, keyboard-friendly

Build from source

Requires Python 3.11+.

git clone https://github.com/Infinity-Problem/eisenhower-app
cd eisenhower-app
pip install -r requirements.txt
python launch.pyw          # run from source
build.bat                  # produce dist/Eisenhower.exe

Google Calendar sync setup

The Calendar API is free, but Google requires you to create your own OAuth client (no shared client ID can be safely distributed). One-time setup:

1. Open Google Cloud Console → Credentials
2. Create a new project, enable the Google Calendar API
3. Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID, type Desktop app
4. Open the app → gear icon → Configure → paste your client ID + secret → Save → Connect
