Focus Matrix is a smart personal organizer based on the so-called Eisenhower box, a personal productivity strategy created by Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States. The principle uses a special priority matrix that helps break your tasks into several groups depending on their urgency and importance, and work your way through your daily agenda in the most efficient way possible.
The key features:
– Two views: Matrix and List of Sections – Move tasks between sections using drag-and-drop – Maximize a section to get a closer look at its content – Use the “Inbox” section for tasks which are needed to be sorted by quadrants – Set “All day task” to plan tasks for the whole working day – Sort tasks by title, due date or manually – Assign due dates to tasks – Set reminders to never miss an important deadline – Tasks that are approaching their due dates are automatically carried over from the Not Urgent category to the Urgent list with user notification – Delegate tasks by email, messages, etc. (through the context menu) – Task lists can be shared to Facebook, Twitter, etc. – Editing of multiple tasks at once – Copying and pasting of tasks within the program, as well as from/to other applications – Search and tags support – Task filtering by tags and statuses (completed/uncompleted) – Export to PDF or print the task list – Configurable statistics and reports for completed tasks – Password protection

Finer Focus is the ultimate Desktop enhancer that can greatly reduce – even eliminate – all desktop visual distractions. And without distractions, it is easier to be creative, easier to focus, easier to get things done. Plus, the cinematic atmosphere that Finer Focus creates simply makes your Mac more cool to use. Finer Focus melts away distractions by dimming, blurring and fading the desktop elements that are all around the frontmost app window.
These elements include the Dock, the Menu bar, Desktop icons and background windows. This results in the front window remaining bright and sharp, while the surrounding elements simply melt away. Try out the sixteen built-in Finer Focus themes. Each theme has its own characteristics, such as color and varying amounts of dimming, blurring and fading. Control the speed at which Finer Focus reacts to your actions as well as choose from various ways to temporarily hide all Finer Focus effects should you wish to do so. This gives you complete control over Finer Focus and your desktop environment.
Focus is a menu bar app that helps you find your zen. One click creates an optimal work environment.
