Partly fits

addTaskManagerpartial · 70

Simple Assess-Decide-Do workflow that maps to daily focus but delivered as a web app aimed at general productivity users.

Won’t cover: It's a web-based tool pitched at productivity users rather than a native macOS app marketed for macOS accessibility.

Amazing Marvinpartial · 64

A highly customizable daily planner that can be configured toward a simple daily workflow, but its complexity and many toggles make it a narrower fit.

Won’t cover: Its primary pitch is heavy customization rather than an out-of-the-box, minimal Today view for immediate daily focus.

Focanapartial · 60

A macOS floating focus tool built to keep the current task visible, which helps daily focus but is not primarily a full task manager.

Won’t cover: Focused mainly on keeping a visible anchor and timers rather than providing a full task-list workflow with native task navigation.

VoiceOSpartial · 60

A voice-first macOS layer that could make operating a task manager hands-free, but its core purpose is voice control rather than being a task manager itself.

Won’t cover: Acts as a voice-control layer for macOS rather than providing a native, accessible task manager with a Today view.
