Any plans for a desktop/web based version of this?

@zee Yes. We've actually already begun work on Sorted³ for macOS. We'll be going back to work on that as soon as Sorted³ iOS launch madness subsides a bit.

@zee @iamkulio With a Mac version, that will be perfect! Planning on your laptop is part of my routine.

@cecilialeehs Roger that. Will work diligently right after launch madness. 👍

@zee @iamkulio any ballpark timeline you can share with us? would love to switch from Things 3 but won't be doing so just yet if it's looking like a 2019 type of release.

@zee @tanner_stephens It's always hard to estimate ETA on development. Rather not overpromise.

Hi Product Hunters, We’re excited to release Sorted³ into the wild here on Product Hunt. Sorted³ helps users schedule their events, tasks, and notes together into a timeline that is super easy to update. Perfect for anyone who juggles different aspects of work and life. Our scheduling approach to time management has made us somewhat of a darling amongst people with ADHD and people juggling life and work in general. So far our beta testers and existing users are loving Sorted³ and we hope you will too. Cheers / Leo #StaySorted P.S. We have an extra little goodie for you all! Visit the link below to claim a special Product Hunt inspired app icon for Sorted³. https://staysorted.com/producthu... P.P.S. The first 10 people to leave us a comment will receive a promo code to unlock Sorted³. We will send you the code via Product Hunt Chats.

@iamkulio What's new in this version compared to this?
Leo Tumwattana

@abadesi Great question. Firstly, we rebuilt the entire app from the ground up with two goals: 1. Make Sorted³ more powerful by adding support for: - Folders / lists / tags - Full calendar event editing - New and powerful features such as Auto-Schedule - Support for rich formatted notes All of these were highly requested by Sorted 2 users and fitted well with where we wanted to take Sorted going forward. 2. At the same time make Sorted³ much easier to learn and use. All so we can help promote the practice of scheduling to more people.

@iamkulio Great improvement compared to Sorted 2! By the way, the new design is also beautiful! This app will clearly become one of our best GTD app on iOS, great job!

Many task manager approaches are themselves a big 'task' to learn and use effectively. I've seen a lot of productivity gurus admit that they were more into the management of tasks using their tool of choice than they were into actually completing tasks. Sorted is different. It has a very specific mantra: schedule when a task should be completed to help ensure you get it done. Sorted even helps with this goal by showing you free spots in your daily calendar when you can put a task. You can then move tasks around or expand/compress how long you think they will take. Using this method, you set your priorities and then plow through your day with helpful reminders.

Sorted also has some very useful advanced features: A single task can have a checklist of sub-items (great for a quick grocery list). Tasks can have notes with styled text (headers, etc.). Tasks can be arranged into lists, list sub-categories, and marked with tags (these features are great for organizing and using Sorted for larger projects). There's even an "Auto Schedule" option which will look at your open tasks and place them in available slots throughout the day.

Whether you are looking for your first task manager because you have been struggling with the simplicity of Apple Reminders or if you feel that your current 3rd party task manager is just not working for you, try using Sorted 3 for two weeks. Since switching to Sorted months ago, my productivity has greatly improved. I don't think I would be as successful with any other tool. Version 3 takes this to an even higher level, and the devs are committed to continued releases and features.

Last note: Sorted 2 had both an iOS app and a Mac app. Sorted 3 is starting out as iOS only but the new version will also be coming to the Mac. This allows you to maximize your efficiency by getting reminders and managing your tasks on multiple devices.

Pros:

Task management that doesn't get in the way. A simple but powerful interface that lets you add, rearrange, or mark your tasks complete.

Cons:

If you've used Sorted 2, Sorted 3 is very similar but may take some time to get used to the new features. Be sure to use the in-app Guides.

Hi Product Hunters! We're excited to debut Sorted³ to the Product Hunt community. It's been two years since the release of Sorted v1. We are so honored to have had so many users supporting us since day one. Some of our users tried and bought every task management apps available, and finally chose Sorted. I'm really honored to be part of this journey. We are ready to show you the redesigned product. Can't wait to hear what you think of Sorted³! Cheers / Harry #StaySorted P.S.

Beautiful UI. Very good app.

Pros:

Very good app. I am using it since several months and my business routine has changed for good. Highly recommend it!

Cons:

gestures are a bit complex so dedicate a bit more time for testing in order to see the real usefullness of the app! you will not regret it

Harry Ng
Maker
Thanks for the review. In Sorted³, we also add more traditional ways to manage your tasks. So, it should be easier to learn and start using. When the users become more familiar, they can start using the gestures and speed up the workflow.

@harryworld Thank you for the great app you and your team has made!

Great app! I think it will be extremely useful for students or anyone with a busy life.
Harry Ng

@reyesdanny10 That's right. We have had some students telling us how Sorted has changed their life. With that in mind, we decided to lower the price so that it can benefit more people especially students.

@legalalien That's great. Hope you enjoy what we make. Feel free to leave us your feedback here and on the App Store.

Nice! Seems like the only thing that prevented me to include a calendar (and keep it updated) in my productivity workflow is the lack of an app. An app which matches how I think about my day. I will give this a try, but you know how hard it is to go for yet another productivity app!
Leo Tumwattana
Maker
@morajabi Totally agree there are lots of productivity apps out there. Hopefully our schedule focused take on the issue will add value to your workflow.
Anna Filou
OH MY GOD, this looks exactly like what I've been wanting for 2 years now! Please please tell me there are plans for an Android release??
Leo Tumwattana
Maker
@anna_0x We're going to be focusing on Sorted³ for macOS first. Then perhaps Android? Or maybe we can tempt you to switch sides? 😅
Anna Filou
@iamkulio I have a MacBook so sign me up for the macOS version but nobody could ever make me switch from Android 😉 The customizability and ability to root it and change ROMs is invaluable to me.
Leo Tumwattana
Maker
@anna_0x Roger the no go on the switch. 😁 Would you mind joining our Slack group? That's where we'll first announce our Sorted³ macOS beta once it's ready. https://staysorted.com/slack.html
Anna Filou
@iamkulio I would I were using Slack! Never needed to, don't have an account and I don't think I'll make one just for Sorted 😅 I'll find out sooner or later, perhaps on PH?
Leo Tumwattana
Maker
@anna_0x I problem. We hope to be back on PH with Sorted³ macOS soon.

We will work hard to create an even better app. Hope our future updates will delight you even further.

Sorted is a delightful and fresh take on the old productivity song we're all singing in some way or another. The idea is to tightly integrate calendar events and task management. Thereby calendar events gain some task-like features, they can be checked off and removed from the remaining schedule. Tasks also gain some calendar features: they are integrated part of the calendar view once a completion date and time is set.

All in all I really enjoy using the app, maybe due to the other unique features Sorted packs.

- Markdown-like entry of subtasks and other notes

- ingenious rearrangement of tasks from projects into new projects or existing ones

I am really curious where the journey will go!

Pros:

calendar + tasks, new and fresh UI interactions

Cons:

limited planning depth

Harry Ng
Maker
Thanks for the review, also the inspirations of planning depth that lead to some of the features like "Reorganize".
