Major is watching you

Your to-do list needs a Major.

Major sits in the corner of your Mac and looks after the things you keep putting off: the side project stuck at 80%, the tests you'll write later, the domain that expires next week. He picks one task, tells you why it's next, and notices when you drift off to YouTube.

For Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 26. Early build, used daily by its author.

16 minutes on YouTube. The code won't write itself.

Orders of the day

One thing at a time.

Most to-do apps show you everything and let you choose. Major chooses for you, explains why, and checks in later.

Now

One task, and why

An overdue routine first, then the nearest deadline, then your top project. Start a session timer, mark it done, postpone it, or ask for something else.

Things

Up to five projects

Projects with tasks and deadlines, plus routines that repeat: renew the domain, update dependencies, back up the photos, call the dentist. Notes on everything.

Nudges

He notices driftingComing soon

During a session Major checks which app is in front every few minutes. Off-task for too long, and he says so, with buttons to get back or take a break.

Debrief

A short end of dayComing soon

How long you spent on the plan, how long you drifted, and what's first tomorrow. Then he goes to sleep.

Remind

  • Routines with a repeat and a due date: renewals, dependency updates, backups, bills, the dentist.
  • Notifications when something is due, and again when it's overdue.
  • Keeps pushing until it's done. Postpone it if you must, but it never disappears.
  • Remembers where you stopped on each project and suggests the next step. Coming soon

Track

He knows where your time goes

  • Session timer: start a task and the clock runs.
  • Focus widget in the corner with a countdown ring. Coming soon
  • Checks the app and tab in front every few minutes during a session. Coming soon
  • Time tracking per task and project: what you planned versus what you did. Coming soon
Bring back

He won't let you drift

  • Notices YouTube, Reddit or Hacker News creeping into a session. Coming soon
  • A short nudge with buttons: back to work, I need time, switch task, snooze. Coming soon

He tells you how it went

  • Awake only during the hours you set; asleep the rest of the time.
  • Never reads your screen content or keystrokes.
  • Encrypted iCloud backup, 30 days. Coming soon
