Finalist, a planner app, has just released version 4.0, its biggest update since version 1.0. The app now includes notes, a watch app, and a daily page that allows users to design their day. Finalist is a free update, available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Users can drag tasks from the rail to pencil in their time, resize them, and accept them without affecting real tasks.
Tags run across all features, allowing users to focus on specific threads of their life. The app also includes a new notes tab with notebooks, an inbox, tags, and search. Tasks and notes coexist in Finalist, making it a comprehensive planner. The watch app provides real-time updates, answering the day's current question and displaying events, tasks, reminders, and habits.
The app provides an intuitive way to manage daily tasks and thoughts, reducing the need for multiple apps to manage work, personal tasks, and intentions. Finalist aims to lower the stakes of productivity by making it easy to move tasks to the next day without guilt, and encourages streaks instead of punishing. The app is built to complement the user's daily routine, making it a more enjoyable and effective productivity tool.
