Plate & Wait is a calm, deliberately small task manager built around one simple idea: only five things belong on your Plate at once.

Fold back to the outer display for a focused single view. TWO SMALL HABITS Keep tasks under an hour. Split bigger tasks into smaller steps, so each item on your Plate feels doable. Set tomorrow’s Plate tonight. Before you turn in, choose up to five tasks for tomorrow. Let the rest wait at the Buffet. LET THE REST WAIT AT THE BUFFET Capture incoming tasks in one continuous, age-ordered Buffet. Search when you need something, or jump between Fresh, Still Good, Getting Stale, and Smells Funny.
