Quarter
Skip to main content

Goals, tasks, calendar — one unified system.

The only digital planner built around multi-scale planning. Cal Newport describes it as the missing link between big goals and daily tasks. QTR makes it real.

Visual goals

Goals you can actually see. Every goal in QTR is a hill with a summit. As you check things off, you climb closer to the top. Progress that feels tangible and satisfying.

Reverse Engineer Any Goal.

Amazon calls it working backwards. Define the outcome first, then reverse-engineer the path. QTR gives you a visual map to do exactly that, for any goal.

Time horizons

You don't always know the exact date. That's fine. Park tasks in broad time horizons — this quarter, sometime next month, eventually. As time gets closer, lock in the date. Planning that meets reality.

Your second brain, your planning journal, your AI co-pilot. Throw anything into the console — a thought, a task, a half-formed idea. QTR remembers it and resurfaces it when it matters.

Do everything by typing.

The speed of a command line. The clarity of a visual plan. QTR ties them both together.

Our users love QTR

From founders to students, here's what professionals say after making QTR part of their workflow.

Karthik Narayanaswamy — QTR testimonial

"I'm at least 2× more productive the weeks I use QTR than when I don't."

Karthik Narayanaswamy

Vice President · Atkins Réalis

"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

David Blackwealth — QTR testimonial

"Things I love: the Quarter view with this quarter's goals. 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
Previously VP, Goldman Sachs

"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

"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

"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

"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."

Rakesh Konda

Principal Software Engineer
