Waiting for

Quote from the carpenter

since Wednesday

Seven altitudes, one thread.

Most apps hold tasks. AltoFocus also holds what they lead to. Built on David Allen’s GTD horizons of focus: start with what you’ll leave behind, then descend to what you’ll do today.

  1. Legacy

    15,000 m

    What will I leave behind?

    Kids who aren’t afraid to fix anything

  2. Purpose

    12,000 m

    Why do I do all of this?

    Teaching others to make things with their hands

  3. Vision

    9,000 m

    Where do I want to be in three to five years?

    A home where we make more than we buy

  4. Goals

    6,000 m

    What has to move forward this year?

    By spring, a workshop where the kids can make things

  5. Areas

    3,000 m

    Which roles and areas do I maintain?

    Home and family

  6. Everything above this line is yours alone — areas, goals, vision and values are never shared. Projects and tasks below it can be.

    Projects

    300 m

    Which outcomes am I driving right now?

    What do I physically do next?

A clear head, a system in order.

The four GTD steps you repeat every day. AltoFocus makes them quick and calm.

  1. Capture

    Press C and type the way you talk. Dates, projects and tags are recognised for you. On the go, just say it out loud — your dictation turns into tasks.

  2. Organize

    From the Inbox into projects. A sequential project shows only the next step, a parallel one shows them all. Build perspectives from filters and save them for one tap.

  3. Do

    Today shows what’s urgent and what you pinned. Next actions holds only what you can do right now. Waiting for keeps track of what depends on others.

  4. Reflect

    Once a week, go project by project: what’s stuck, what’s overdue, what you’re waiting on. And whether your tasks still point at your goals — or just at the next task.

An AI partner that asks first.

Knows your tasks, projects and goals and does anything for you — captures a task, restructures a project, closes what's done. Before deleting anything, it waits for your confirmation.

Deletions only with your consent
Deleting, cancelling or dropping never happens without you — not even when an external AI asks via the API or MCP. Every step is re-checked when you confirm it.
Weekly review guide
Walks through your projects with you and offers one-tap clean-ups. At the end it checks for vision without action and action without vision.
Natural Planning
Five steps from a project’s purpose to its first action. The AI asks and summarises; the project is created only once you confirm.

These three tasks no longer make sense after the renovation. Shall I cancel them?

Workshop renovation

  • Clear out the workshop
  • Call the electrician
  • Buy cables

Share projects, not yourself.

Invite a partner into a specific project and work on it together, in real time. Your areas, goals, vision and values stay private. They are never shared.

On iPhone and on the web.

An iPhone app with notifications and voice capture (coming soon to the App Store), the browser on your computer, and a web app on Android. One set of data, the same state everywhere.

Five people, one system.

How AltoFocus is used by people who left OmniFocus, juggle several clients, or finally want to do the review.

  • OmniFocus alternative

    Sequential projects, deferred tasks, perspectives and a weekly review like OmniFocus — plus the web, GTD horizons and shared projects.

  • GTD weekly review

    The weekly review guide walks you project by project: stalled, overdue, waiting and projects without a goal. With or without AI, in 30 minutes.

  • Freelancer with several clients

    Clients as areas, engagements as projects, Focus mode for a single client and waiting-for for approvals. Plus an API and MCP for your own automations.

  • Life goals and purpose

    From today's task to what you leave behind. Areas, goals, vision, purpose and legacy linked to your projects — and private.

  • Voice capture on the go

    Say what's on your mind and AltoFocus turns it into tasks with due dates and projects. You review everything before it's saved.

Free, or with a view from above.

Ground is a complete GTD app and stays free. Altitude adds the AI partner, the Mac app and an API. During the beta you get both for free.
