A Task Tracker That Knows What Matters
Capturing tasks is easy. Deciding what to do first is the hard part. Onyx builds the Eisenhower priority matrix into your daily task management, so your list tells you where to start — not just what you owe.
Start Free — No Card RequiredEverything a personal task manager needs
- Eisenhower priority matrix — sort every task by urgent vs. important
- Categorized views with custom lists and labels
- Soft and hard deadlines, so 'ideally today' and 'must ship today' stay distinct
- Recurring tasks and task templates for repeating workflows
- Time tracking to see where your hours actually go
- Kanban and list views of the same tasks — organize your way
Built for your priorities, not a project plan
Team task tools assume a manager assigns work and a board tracks a project. Personal task tracking is different: you are the manager, the worker, and the stakeholder, and the scarce resource is your attention. That's why Onyx puts prioritization first — the urgent/important matrix, soft versus hard deadlines, and custom lists that match your life rather than a project template.
Tasks also don't live alone. In Onyx they sit beside your notes, your kanban boards, and your long-term goals, so today's to-do list stays connected to what you're actually building toward.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Onyx different from other to-do list apps?
Onyx is built around prioritization, not just capture. The Eisenhower matrix (urgent vs. important) is a first-class view, so instead of a flat list of 40 items you see which four actually matter today. And because Onyx is a personal productivity app, there are no assignees, sprints, or project-management features in your way.
What is the Eisenhower matrix?
A prioritization method that sorts tasks into four quadrants by urgency and importance: do first (urgent and important), schedule (important, not urgent), minimize (urgent, not important), and eliminate (neither). Onyx builds this matrix directly into your task views.
Can I see my tasks on a kanban board?
Yes. The same tasks can be viewed as lists, in the priority matrix, or on personal kanban boards — you choose the view that fits the moment without re-entering anything.
Is Onyx free?
Yes — Onyx is completely free during early access, with no credit card required. Planned pricing afterward is $5/month or $40/year with everything included.
