Billine in two minutes

Most task apps are lists that only grow. Billine starts from the other end: how much time you really have today, and which few things fit in it.

Four ideas carry the whole app

• Your capacity. You tell Billine how many hours of real focus you have in a day, not hours awake. Four is the default. Meetings on your calendar come off it.
• The fold. Today has a line across it. Above it are the tasks you commit to; below it are the ones you could do. Nothing below the fold is a failure. It’s a menu.
• Estimates. Each task can say how long it takes, like ~30m. The track at the top of Today adds them up and tells you plainly when the day is full, before you promise more than it holds.
• Graceful decay. Tasks you don’t touch for weeks fade, then ask once: keep it, schedule it, or let it go. Nothing turns red, and nothing is deleted.

What a day looks like

1. You capture tasks as they come, typed the way you’d say them: call the dentist tomorrow ~15m #phone.
2. In the morning you plan your day: pick what fits until the track is full.
3. You do those, and complete them. What you didn’t choose waits below the fold.
4. Every so often, the Stale review asks about the tasks you’ve been ignoring.

What Billine isn’t

There are no streaks, badges or points, no walls of overdue red, and no priorities: what matters goes above the fold. Your tasks live on your device, and with Billine Pro in your own iCloud. Billine has no account and sends nothing to us.
