Version 3
What's New
Version 3 is Set's biggest run of updates yet: AI list scanning, an app blocker, a ground-up sync overhaul, a distraction-free focus mode, Sort Mode, a draggable + button, and an optional overdue alarm. Big thanks to Emily, whose feedback and bug reports shaped so much of it. See the full changelog →
Sort Mode
File a messy Inbox or project one decision at a time: pick what to set (project, stage, priority, duration, date) and tap through big options with nothing else on screen.
Drag the + Button
Pull the + button into your list to create a task exactly where you drop it, with a dotted line showing where it will land. Tap a stage header to aim every new task at that stage.
Overdue Alarm
Optional nagging for overrun tasks: the timer alarm repeats at an interval you choose until you complete or pause the task. Works in the background via notifications.
Focus Mode
Tap the empty space below your Today list, or the Today tab again, for a distraction-free view that hides everything but your tasks and start times. Rows go read-only. iPhone and iPad.
Quick-Add Bar on Mac
A persistent Add a task bar at the bottom of Today, every project, and the Inbox. It parses durations, dates, and times as you type, with quick priority and duration controls.
Auto-Simplify Timer
While a timer runs it collapses to just the countdown and task name. Pausing brings the controls back.
Clear Completed with a Swipe
Swipe any finished task in Today to log it, one at a time. Right-click and choose Log Task on Mac.
Scan Tasks from Image
Photograph a handwritten list, whiteboard, or screenshot and Set turns it into scheduled tasks — Apple Intelligence on supported devices, smart parsing everywhere. Reads "10.15 - Jogging" and "(30 min)" the way you meant them. Pro.
App Blocker
Shield distracting apps while your timer runs — or until every task in Today is done. Turning it off means typing a focus sentence. iPhone & iPad, Pro.
AI Notes Rewriting
One tap turns messy notes into clean structured markdown — or a clear step-by-step checklist. On-device, always revertible. Pro.
Project & Inbox PDF Export
Export any project or your Inbox as a clean PDF — stages as sections, notes in full markdown styling with your colors, black & white printing option.
iCloud Sync Overhaul
Duplicates across devices are gone, deletions stick everywhere, and sync no longer resets your scheduled times or task order.
Undo & Redo
Press ⌘Z to undo and ⌘⇧Z to redo — adding, deleting, moving, and editing tasks, across the whole app.
Planning Shouldn't Feel Like Work
Most task managers require constant mental math and manual adjustments. Set does it automatically.
Manual time planning is exhausting
Calculating when tasks will finish, adjusting for interruptions—it drains your energy before you even start.
Plans change, replanning is tedious
When something unexpected happens (and it always does), recalculating your entire schedule manually is overwhelming.
Hard to stay motivated
Without visible progress or achievements, it's difficult to maintain momentum and feel accomplished.

Why it works
Designed for how your brain actually works
Set wasn't built from a productivity textbook. It was built around real, distractible, time-blind brains — and a lot of its users (and its maker) have ADHD.
⏱️ Time made visible
Time blindness means "three tasks" never feels like "my whole afternoon". Set turns every task into time on a timeline — you see when things start, finish, and when your day realistically ends. Overcommitting stops being a surprise.
🚀 Starting is the hard part
The flexible timer isn't a stopwatch judging you — it's a body double. Start it and the next right thing is already decided. Brown noise and focus tones give restless minds a floor to stand on.
🧘 No guilt, no confetti
Deliberately neutral: no streak-shaming, no "you're almost there!!". Completed tasks tick off quietly; unfinished ones roll forward without commentary. A system you can return to after a bad week — without shame.
🛡️ Friction where it helps
Adding a task is instant — type "gym at 6pm 45m" and it's scheduled. But switching off the App Blocker mid-wobble takes typing a sentence about your goals. Impulses are fast; typing is slow. That asymmetry is deliberate. (App Blocker is new in version 3.)
