Hi Product Hunters,
We're excited and immensely proud to share that Sorted³ is now available on macOS!
It's been a long time coming, and we’re so ecstatic to finally have Sorted³ available on the Mac App Store.
I’m also excited to announce another milestone: We've just surpassed 1 million downloads on the App Store since Sorted was born.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our super supportive users around the world for giving us invaluable feedback and encouragement throughout this project.
On that note, I’d also like to thank each member of our team, new and old, for pooling together from across the world to make this launch possible. Kudos.
With this launch, we've finally filled the Apple ecosystem. We now look forward to the future to work on our next milestone to help even more people achieve more focus and less stress through hyper-scheduling.
✅ Why we've built it
Since the early days, we considered the Mac App to be an essential component of the overall Sorted experience. This started with building a native Mac App back in 2016 (to complement the very first version of Sorted). After launching Sorted³, we shifted our focus back to a native Mac experience, before learning about iPad Apps for Mac (with code name Mac Catalyst) at WWDC 2019. The following October, we decided to develop Sorted³ using Mac Catalyst as a more viable and long-term solution. Then Apple announced Optimized for Mac on Big Sur and we went all in. So, in short, Sorted³ for macOS is Optimized for Big Sur, sports native Apple Silicon and of course macOS Big Sur widgets.
💻 Benefits
Sorted³ for Mac includes all the benefits and features of the iOS version:
- Integrate tasks, calendar events and notes into a unified timeline
- Effortlessly schedule your day using Auto Schedule based on how much time you have available
- As plans change during the day, use *Magic Select* and Time Ruler to shift things around
We've also introduced *Auto Backup* to add an extra layer of safety and peace of mind for our users. This gives you the ability to go back in time and restore previous versions of items that you may have accidentally deleted.
We're excited to release the Mac App. This has been in the works for a while. We've gone through 3 product iterations to get to where we are today.
I hope you enjoy using Sorted³ across the Apple ecosystem. Please leave us a comment or product review. We'd love to hear what you think and see how you will use them together.
P.S. The first 10 people to leave us a comment will receive a promo code to get Sorted³ PRO on Mac. We'll send you a message after the launch day.

@jimmy_cerone@harryworld I see! So by building it all into one you decrease the switching costs. I've definitely experienced that stress - great point!
@jimmy_cerone@harryworld All-in-one resolves one part of the puzzle "Unified". Another struggle was how to effectively execute the tasks. Most of the existing solutions were list-based where it helps to braindump items and organize them into lists, but they were lacking the way to help you move on. After years of experiments, we found out what is important is the "Scheduling" part. We write about the story in our blog sortedapp.com/blog
@jimmy_cerone@harryworld I'll check that out! Thanks for sharing - I love how your thoughts have evolved on the topic. What was the first problem you tried to solve, the unified part or the to do organization part?
@jimmy_cerone@harryworld The chronlogical order came as 1) Scheduling 2) Effortless 3) Unified 4) Flexible
In fact, we're only about half of our vision. More to come.
@stevo Thanks. It took a while as we practically rewrote it 4 times. Thank you for being patient with us. We wanted to get something out that we are proud to use ourselves.
