Type a line. Or just talk.
Write it the way you'd say it. Evidential reads the date, the length, the priority and the list out of it. Or hold the mic and ramble, and it turns the ramble into tasks on your phone.

what you do.
Evidential is a planner that tells you when your day doesn't fit, and keeps a record of what you actually got done. No streaks. No points. No guilt.
For Apple devices. Not on the App Store yet.

Segments
Most to-do apps will let you put eleven hours on a Tuesday and say nothing. So you miss it, feel bad, and start over on Monday. The list never told you it couldn't fit.
Evidential says it at 9am. Not at 9pm.
Try it
Go on. Overfill Tuesday.
Switch tasks on and watch your day fill up. This is the real idea, running right here.

A simplified version of the planner in the Calendar tab. The real one also reads your calendar, so meetings and appointments are laid out first, and it counts your energy levels.
How it works
Capture it. Plan it. Look back.
Three habits. The app does the maths and keeps the receipts. You keep the decisions.
See if it fits.
Give tasks a length. The Calendar tab lays them on the clock around your meetings and says plainly whether the day fits. What doesn't fit waits in Unplanned.
9:00capacity 6h18:00
Over by 1h 10m. Cut one.
See what really happened.
It tracks how long things actually took and when you actually finish them. The numbers are yours. There is no score to beat.
6amwhen you finish things10pm
Start date
Keeps a task out of Today until you can actually do it.
Deadline
The date it must be done by. Separate from the day you plan to do it.
Segment
A part of your day: Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Downtime. Yours to rename.
Not doing today
What you looked at and chose to rule out. It comes back tomorrow on its own.

What it does that others don't
The things people have asked for since 2013.
Plus everything you'd expect: lists, boards, filters, reminders, repeats. Here are the parts worth a look.
A task that isn't ready stays out of your way.
Give it a start date and it stays out of Today until you can actually begin. No more staring at things you can't touch yet.

Plan meets the deadline
Every task gets a length, so the day adds up.
The planner lays tasks on the clock and says whether they fit. A plain list will happily let you add another hour and stay quiet.

Hard work in your best hours. Admin in the slump.
Tag a task as demanding, quick or in between. Evidential puts the heavy ones in your peak hours. Stats then shows when you really finish things, so you can check your peak is where you think it is.

Wherever you are.
iPhone
In your hand.
Four tabs: Today, Week, Calendar and Projects. The add bar rises above the keyboard with chips for date, priority and list, so you never have to remember the syntax.
- Two Control Centre buttons: add a task, complete the next one
- Siri and Shortcuts, with no setup
- Location reminders: "when I arrive at" a place
iPad
At arm's length.
A floating sidebar and a wide Today: the one thing with its own timer, then your whole day as a board or a list. In Calendar, drag a to-do from the Unplanned tray into a block.
- Board or List for Today
- Calendar by the day, three days or the week
- Upcoming with a month grid

The idea
Reward direction. Never volume.
Streaks reward showing up for the streak. Points reward doing more. Neither tells you whether you're moving toward the things you said you want. Evidential has neither, and won't.
No streaks
No points
No levels
No chatbot

Designed, not built yet
Numbers that are yours.
How long things really take against your guess. When in the day you actually finish them. What you keep pushing back.
Directions.
Name up to four things you're working toward. Every task and time block counts toward one of them, or counts as upkeep.
A letter, not a score.
Once a week, your own evidence retold as who you're becoming. A bad fortnight is a dip, never a reset.
The agent door
Your AI can plan with you. Not behind your back.
There's no chatbot inside Evidential. It speaks MCP instead, so the assistant you already use can read your list and help.
- It can lookAsk how bad Thursday is. It checks the real plan, not a guess.
- It can proposeBy default every change waits for you. You see exactly what moves, then say yes.
- It can't deleteDeleting is switched off for assistants.

Yours, on your devices
Nobody else is in the room.
Your list is one file on your own devices. If you switch on iCloud sync, it goes to your private iCloud and nowhere else.

Use it on one device forever if you like. That's a real, supported choice.
0servers of ours
Evidential makes no network request of its own, apart from iCloud sync if you turn it on.
0API keys to paste
The one model in the app runs on your device and turns a ramble into tasks.

No lock-in puzzle. Tasks, lists, filters and settings, in one place you own.

Questions
Things people ask.
Can I get it today?
Not from the App Store yet. It runs on Adrian's own devices, and early testers get in by invitation. Email to get on the list.
What will it cost?
Pricing hasn't been announced. You'll see it here first.
Do I need an account?
No. It works on one device forever with no sign-in. iCloud sync between your own devices is optional and off until you turn it on.
Where is my data?
In one file on your own devices. There is no Evidential server. If you switch on iCloud sync, a copy goes to your private iCloud. Your phone and watch sync straight to each other.
Does it have AI in it?
One small model, and it runs on your device. It turns a ramble into tasks. On a device without Apple Intelligence, a ramble becomes one task per line. For everything else, you bring your own assistant, and it connects over MCP. There is no chatbot, no provider picker and no API key field.
Can Claude delete my tasks?
No. By default every change an assistant makes is held as a proposal, with the exact diff, until you accept it. Deleting is switched off for assistants.
Why no streaks or points?
They reward volume, and volume isn't the point. A streak punishes one bad day harder than it deserves, and points make you chase points. Here is the thinking.
How is it different from Todoist?
Todoist is great at capturing and sorting. Evidential does all that too, and adds the parts it was missing: start dates, separate deadlines, durations, a planner that says when the day doesn't fit, and dependencies. It also has no account and no server.
Which devices do I need?
iPhone on iOS 18 or later, Mac on macOS 26 or later, Apple Watch on watchOS 10 or later, and iPad. The glass look uses the newest system, and falls back to plain materials on older ones.
Close the day knowing.
Early access is open to anyone who'll tell Adrian what's wrong with it.
