About Progress
Progress is a daily planner that adapts to how you work instead of imposing a fixed method. You capture tasks, ideas and notes on a timeline, then rearrange them, move or snooze them to later days, add subtasks, set labels and priorities, and plan the day your own way.
Unfinished tasks roll over to the next day automatically and the timeline records progress, so nothing needs to stay in your head. Recurring tasks can repeat daily, weekly or monthly, Google Calendar events can be pulled in, and a command palette and keyboard shortcuts let you work without the mouse.
It has a dark mode, works on mobile devices and works offline, so plans stay available on a plane or in a tunnel. Pricing is $5 a month or $50 a year, and a 30-day free trial is offered, so you can try the planner before paying.
