Urgent
Not urgent
Important
Not important
Decide like a president
Dwight Eisenhower's rule: what is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important. Drop everything into the inbox first, then drag each task into its quadrant, do urgent-and-important work now, schedule the important-but-not-urgent, delegate the urgent-but-unimportant, and eliminate the rest. Everything stays in your browser's local storage, exports as text or JSON, and prints as a clean one-pager. Free forever.
§ 02 · what you can do
Everything the matrix should do.
- Sort tasks into four quadrants by urgency and importance, Do first, Schedule, Delegate and Eliminate, the Eisenhower way.
- Drag and drop tasks between quadrants (and reorder within one) at any time; every quadrant also has its own quick-add input.
- Use the Inbox to capture tasks before you decide where they belong.
- Mark tasks complete with a checkbox, edit or delete any task, and bulk-clear finished work with one click.
- Export your matrix as a copyable outline, a .txt file or JSON, or print it as a clean one-page summary.
- Private by construction: everything saves automatically to your browser and syncs across your open tabs; nothing is uploaded.
§ 03 · how to use it
Five steps, no manual.
- Type a task in the New task field, pick a quadrant, or leave it in the Inbox to sort later, and press Add task or Enter.
- Drag tasks between Do first, Schedule, Delegate and Eliminate as priorities change. Each quadrant has its own quick-add input too.
- Tick the checkbox on any task to mark it complete, then use Clear completed to remove finished work.
- Use ✎ to edit a task's text and ✕ to delete it.
- Click Copy outline, Download .txt or Download .json to export, or Print for a clean one-pager.
§ 04 · faq
Frequently asked questions.
Is the Eisenhower Matrix free?
Yes, completely free for everyone. No sign-up, no account and no usage limits.
Is it private? Are my tasks uploaded anywhere?
No upload, ever. The matrix runs entirely in your browser on your own device, your tasks never leave your computer.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded, everything (adding, dragging, completing, exporting) works without a connection, because all logic runs locally.
Will I lose my tasks if I close the tab?
No, they're saved in this browser automatically and reload when you come back. Clearing site data removes them, so use Download .json for a backup you control.
What do the four quadrants mean?
Do first is urgent and important, act now. Schedule is important but not urgent, plan it. Delegate is urgent but not important, hand it off. Eliminate is neither, drop it. The Inbox holds tasks you haven't triaged yet.
Can I export or print my matrix?
Yes, copy a plain-text outline to the clipboard, download it as a .txt file, download the raw data as JSON, or use Print for a clean one-page summary of all five lists.
