From To-Do List to Time-Blocked Calendar — Automatically
A to-do list tells you what to do. A time-blocked calendar tells you when to do it. ToBlock bridges the gap.
Your Tasks
Time-Blocked in Calendar
Add tasks with durations and priorities. ToBlock places them in your calendar automatically — respecting your existing events, avoiding conflicts, and grouping work by type so you can see at a glance what kind of day you're looking at.
Most people write to-do lists with 15 items and 6 available hours. They don't realize the math doesn't work until 5 PM. Time blocking forces honesty — when every task has a time slot, you see what fits and what doesn't. You stop overcommitting. You start finishing.
How It Works
From chaos to clarity in 4 steps
1
Brain dump
Capture every thought, task, and idea — don't organize, just get it out of your head.
2
Prioritize
Tag what matters. Mark items as ideas, to-dos, or notes. Add due dates to what's actionable.
3
Time block
Assign times and durations. ToBlock places tasks in your calendar automatically.
4
Execute
Follow your schedule. Anything unfinished rolls to tomorrow — no rewriting, no guilt.
From Thought to Action
Ideas Become Tasks Become Plans
Start with a quick thought. Add detail and it becomes a to-do. Give it a time and it's in your calendar. Nothing falls through the cracks because everything is connected.
Ideas
Capture a spark — a thought, a project concept, a possibility
To Dos
When an idea is ready, give it a due date and it becomes actionable
Notes
Add context to any idea or task — details stay attached, never lost
How it works: Jot down "Learn Spanish." Later, add a due date — now it's a to-do. Attach a note with course links. Give it a time slot and it lands in your calendar. One item, zero friction.
Four Views, Zero Friction
The same items surface in different views depending on what you need. Your Hub shows the big picture, To Do shows what's actionable, Calendar shows what's scheduled.
Hub
Your command center. Ideas and everything nested inside them.
To Do
Every to-do in one place, standalone or nested.
Calendar
Time-blocked schedule with Apple Calendar events.
Notes
All your notes, standalone or nested.

Break Anything Down
Nest ideas inside ideas, tasks inside tasks — as deep as you need. A vague "renovate the house" becomes a structured plan without ever leaving the app.

Habits That Stick
Turn any recurring to-do into a tracked habit. Watch your streaks grow on a heatmap. Even rotate through routines automatically — like alternating workouts or medications.
Tracking builds consistency. When you see your streak growing, you don't want to break it — and that simple visibility turns motivation into momentum.

Rotation
Have multiple variations of a habit? ToBlock automatically rotates through them. Perfect for alternating workouts (upper body / lower body) or medications (Medicine A today, Medicine B tomorrow).

Never Drop the Ball
Track items you're waiting on, protect weekly catch-up time, and reuse project structures with templates.
Waiting & Follow-Up
Mark a to-do as 'Waiting' when it's blocked on someone else. Set a follow-up date to be reminded to check back.
Flex Block
Schedule a weekly protected window for overflow tasks. ToBlock automatically suggests unfinished items to fill it.
Templates
Save any item structure as a reusable template — great for recurring projects, weekly reviews, or meeting agendas.
Try it: Mark "Get quote from contractor" as Waiting and set a follow-up for Friday. It moves to the Follow Up section so nothing slips through the cracks.
