Proactive Planning
A Task Manager That Comes to You
Most task managers are reactive: they wait until you remember to look. A proactive task manager app interrupts stalling with a voice check-in and reshapes the day when energy is low.
Lists are storage. Prompts are management.
If the app only stores tasks, you already have Notes. Management means the system asks whether the next action started.
Proactive is not nagware
The call is scheduled and contextual: plan, energy, first step. It is not a random “you have 47 overdue items” guilt bomb.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a GTD clone?
No. It is a daily planner plus AI calls. Capture still matters; initiation is the missing layer GTD apps usually skip.
