Task Buddy: Priority Matrix & Focus
Stop being busy. Start being productive.
Do you ever feel like you’ve worked a full 24 hours but accomplished nothing on your long-term goals? The secret to high achievers isn't having more time—it's mastering priority management.
Task Buddy is a sleek, intuitive task manager built on the world-renowned Eisenhower Matrix (popularized by Stephen Covey in First Things First). By categorizing your life into four simple quadrants based on Urgency and Importance, Task Buddy helps you visualize exactly where your energy should go and what you should eliminate.
THE 4-QUADRANT METHOD
Q1: Do First – Urgent & Important (Crises and deadlines)
Q2: Schedule – Important, Not Urgent (Growth, planning, and long-term goals)
Q3: Delegate – Urgent, Not Important (Interruptions and busy work)
Q4: Eliminate – Neither (Distractions and time-wasters)
WHY TASK BUDDY?
Task Buddy isn't just another to-do list; it’s a decision-making engine. It forces you to prioritize every task you add, ensuring you spend more time in Quadrant 2—the zone of peak productivity and personal growth.

I was really excited to try this app out. It's so simple and one of the few I could get on my iPhone as well. However, as soon as I added one task to a quadrant, it crashed. I tried to add a second task multiple times but it kept crashing. Hopefully this is fixed in future but until then, stay away
Useful - improvements could be made

I like the simplicity of this app and have been looking for the four quadrant type app!! Usability is simple and it looks clean Improvements: language is a bit off “you got 1 task” instead of “you have 1 task”If I could see my task list on the dash board instead of having to click on each quadrantAnd finally - a timer or calendar tracker specifically for q2 tasks to know when the non-urgent item might be due.
All tasks disappear every day. Developer has disappeared

I liked the simplicity of this. Put all my tasks in, the next day they were gone. My iOS updated so i attributed the problem to that and re-did all my tasks. Next day - exact same. And BTW, I paid for the pro version. "App Support" button results in "website not found."
Developer Response
Hi there, thank you for your review. I am sorry your tasks are gone the next day. This is indeed not by design, I will check the app and try to locate the issue and address it on the next release.
Fixed the nasty bug where task items would disappear. Simplified the data sync process.
