4todo is an Eisenhower Matrix-based to-do list web app that helps users prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, offering a free tier and premium subscriptions.
What is 4todo?
4todo is a web-based task management tool built around the Eisenhower Matrix prioritization framework. Users input tasks and instantly classify them into four quadrants: Do Now (urgent & important), Schedule (important, not urgent), Delegate (urgent, not important), or Delete (neither urgent nor important). The app runs in any modern web browser and is developed by an independent team (no company name is publicly listed).
