Calendar events and tasks in one simple list
Nagare is a to-do app built around the idea that calendar events and tasks are both commitments. Instead of separating events and tasks into different views, it represents both as a single kind of item — with an optional time — in one ordered list, so you can see how your day is meant to unfold without assigning an exact start time to everything. It's inspired by the daily planning method from Cal Newport's How to Become a Straight-A Student, where calendar and to-do items are combined on a single sheet of paper.
Calendar events and tasks are represented by a single kind of item with an optional time, so timed and untimed commitments can sit side by side in one ordered list.
Arrange the day as a single sequence — e.g., put studying before a dentist appointment — showing how you intend the day to unfold without requiring exact start times for everything.
Simple colors and shapes with few controls; times and checkboxes are moved to the right edge so controls stay out of the way of what you've written, making the page feel almost like a handwritten note.
Items within a priority project have a subtle glow that draws attention back to the few things that matter most whenever you return to the app.
Your plans and completed items accumulate into a record of what you've planned, what you've completed, and what's left to do.
Data syncs across devices through iCloud.
Makes your planning context available to your agent through MCP, so it can proactively help you stay engaged with your goals — e.g., suggesting opportunities to meet people when your week has no social plans, or checking in when planned workouts repeatedly go unfinished.
Add items that can be either tasks or calendar-style events; each item optionally carries a time.
Arrange timed and untimed items in one ordered list reflecting the sequence in which you intend to do them.
Mark projects as priority so their items get a subtle glow, keeping your most important intentions visible.
Expose your plans through MCP so an AI agent can draw on your planning context and check in on goals proactively.
Nagare is a to-do app built around the idea that calendar events and tasks are both commitments. Both are represented by a single kind of item with an optional time, arranged in one ordered list.
In apps where the calendar feels tacked on, events sit fixed at the top of the list while tasks sit below, so you still have to work out how they fit together. Nagare interleaves timed and untimed commitments in a single ordered list, showing how you intend the day to unfold without requiring an exact start time for everything.
Nagare is available for iPhone and Mac on the App Store.
Nagare syncs your data through iCloud.
Nagare makes your planning context available to your agent through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Your agent can use it proactively — for example, suggesting opportunities to meet people when your week has no social plans, or checking in when planned workouts repeatedly go unfinished.
Items within a priority project have a subtle glow that draws attention back to those intentions whenever you return to the app, keeping the few things that matter most in focus.
The page doesn't state pricing; it's downloadable from the App Store.
The concept draws on Cal Newport's How to Become a Straight-A Student, which describes combining calendar and to-do items on a single sheet of paper each morning.
