  • Focus asks "What do you plan to work on?" Search your tasks (most urgent first), type a new one (Add and start), or pick nothing and just focus: a timer that records nothing toward a task.
  • A task assistant in TaskScape. Ask AI there acts like an executive assistant: paste notes, an email or a list and it turns them into tasks; ask it to plan your day, move what's due while you're away, find what to drop, or break a task into steps.
  • Draw a task at its size. Press ◯ beside undo, then press where the task goes and drag out: the circle grows with the time it stands for, and the new task opens at that size.
  • Today · Someday. The list's filter is now a pair. Someday shows only tasks with no due date, labeled on the graph, to help you pick what's next. A task you move out of the filter stays in view for a few seconds instead of vanishing.
  • Five days, and a roomier Someday. TaskScape shows today and the next four days day by day, and Someday is much wider, with its circles spread out (they may push each other sideways there, never out of Someday).
  • Shrink days off (Settings → TaskScape): days off are drawn narrow ("Sat–Sun"), so TaskScape shows your next 5 work days. Work days are the same as your daily goal's, and can be changed from either place.
  • Rank by dragging. Sorted by excitement or importance, drag a task between two others to rank it there; its circle moves to match.
  • Importance is shown with ❗ instead of ⭐, and Sort your apps only asks about apps you used at least 10 minutes on a day.

Which Macs: QWER works on Macs running macOS 12 Monterey or later, with Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 or later) or an Intel processor. Download the file for yours: …-arm64.dmg for Apple silicon, …-x64.dmg for Intel. To check, open the Apple menu → About This Mac: "Chip: Apple M…" means Apple silicon, "Processor: … Intel" means Intel. Tested on macOS 14 Sonoma (Apple silicon; the Intel version was tested there too, through Rosetta).

QWER isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first time you open it you may need System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. It needs Screen Recording permission to capture your screen.

QWER is in testing, so versions start with 0 until its public release. Versions 0.1.0 to 0.1.9 were shared as 1.0.0 to 1.0.9.
