About Systems
Systems is built for work that repeats: a morning routine, a travel packing list, client onboarding, an Airbnb turnover, a website launch or a restaurant opening procedure. The user creates a System once, breaks it into clear steps, runs it whenever needed and checks off progress, then improves it over time. The idea is that to-do lists suit one-off tasks while Systems suit recurring ones.
Features include progress tracking each day, calendar and timeline views, plus categories, favorites and search, links that can be shared or deep-linked, import and export, calendar integration, reminders on Systems and steps, archiving and iCloud sync in beta. It targets small business owners, freelancers, property managers, creators and anyone who wants fewer mistakes. Up to four Systems can be kept for free, and a 3-day free trial lets users try everything before the subscription is charged.
