QTR is a calm 13-week system built on working backwards, the method behind Amazon’s highest-performing teams.

I’ve tried Trello, ClickUp, and Notion. None of them solved managing the long term and the short term. Until QTR. It’s what Cal Newport calls multi-scale planning, and QTR nails it. Just nails it. Watch the video →

Why QTR works
When other tools fail you.
The reason is deceptively simple. Rather than working on a laundry list of tasks, you’re executing on a focused few tied to the big picture. That’s because you start at the end and work backwards.
Ansel helps you plan your quarterly goals.
Work together with Ansel, your AI assistant, to break your goals down into action plans. For more elaborate goals, plan on the map view: milestones, action items, and a visible path to the outcome.
Work backwards to weekly plans and daily actions.
Each week, Ansel helps you write a short plan from the goals you're working on and anything that slipped. The plan becomes action items for your days, and time blocks on your calendar. Your quarter flows into your week, and your week into your day.
Your whole quarter, at a glance.
Zoom out and see it all laid flat: the quarter on the left, all thirteen weeks on the right. Zoom into a week and it becomes seven days. Call it god mode for your time. Nothing sneaks up on you.
Not by creating random to-do lists, but by working backwards from the big picture, so your daily actions are aligned with your quarterly goals.

Meet Ansel.
Your 24/7 assistant.
Ansel knows your whole plan, so he helps you with breaking down goals, putting together your weekly plan, and starting your day with a morning brief.
He’s a true executive assistant: type a command and he adds tasks, spins up goals, and creates task lists to keep everything organized.
And he watches the quarter with you: how it’s progressing, where your time is really going, and a timely nudge when something slips.
All your tools, integrated.
Connect QTR to the apps and AIs you already use.

Unify your calendars and tasks.
Consolidate everything scattered across your other apps. QTR becomes the single home for all your work, so you don't have to juggle five different tools.
Free to start. No credit card.
And people love it.
QTR is the first productivity tool that actually starts with my goals instead of my tasks. The cascade from quarter to day makes it obvious what I should be working on — and what I should stop doing.
Sarah Chen
Founder, Stealth Startup
I'm at least 2× more productive the weeks I use QTR than when I don't.
Karthik Narayanaswamy

What QTR does that no other tool does: it combines long-term planning with daily planning. I can plan my week with time-blocking and also see the next 13 weeks at once. The flexibility is unreal.
Priya Natarajan
Product Lead
The concept of thinking in quarters — I have no idea why I've never thought about it this way before. Everything you do today is connected to something bigger.
David Blackwealth
Founder, Third Space Atlas
As a student juggling multiple goals and deadlines, QTR came through. The UI is super-welcoming and provides a seamless experience. It's helped me get less anxious about beating deadlines — it's become my go-to for essays, applications, and conference submissions.
Sneha Ramanathan
MA Candidate, King's College London
QTR looks promising on multiple use cases — from managing teams to drilling on personal goals. I've used Asana and it never felt like something you'd use outside work. QTR's UI is different. It feels personal.
Riyaz Mohammed
Engineering Lead
Dual focus capability, minimalist design, fast and responsive — and the drag-and-drop on the calendar is gold. QTR makes it easy to manage both high-level and low-level tasks simultaneously in a distraction-free environment.
Sreejin Sreenivasan
Product Manager
I highly recommend QTR to anyone looking to gain clarity and focus. I can set actionable goals and track my progress toward them with ease — it's become an invaluable tool.
Rishi Sargar
Startup Founder & CTO
QTR makes goal planning easy and gives me visibility into how I'm progressing on tasks daily and weekly. The timeframe concept is genius.
Jag Shetty
Solution Architect
Just signed up and the UI looks awesome. I've tried many todo apps — this is the one that caught my attention. The way it connects goals to daily tasks is unlike anything else I've used.
