Sprint Zero is a fast, native app for pages, notes and checklists. It knows the difference between to do, in progress, blocked and snoozed. It works offline, and it never asks you to sign up.
One purchase for Mac and iPhone. No subscription.
Real work stalls, waits on other people and gets put off until Monday. Sprint Zero gives each of those a proper place, so your list shows what you can act on now.
Mark a task as working, blocked or snoozed in one click. Each page counts them for you at the top.
Give a blocked task a day or a time. When it arrives, the task moves to the top of its section, marked as working, and your Mac tells you.
Snoozed tasks grey out, sink to the bottom and stop counting as open. They return to the top at the time you chose. Edit the presets to suit your week.
Press , or a shortcut that works from any app, and write the task in plain words. Sprint Zero picks out the date and time for you.
Also understands blocked until today at 4pm and due friday
Notes and tasks live together on the same page, in the order you wrote them. No databases to design and no templates to pick before you can begin.
Familiar shortcuts turn into real blocks as you type. Paste from Notion, ChatGPT, Google Docs or a web page and the headings, lists and tasks come with it.
[] A task with a checkbox- A bullet, and to nest it# A section heading> A quote---A divider**bold**Bold, italic, One search bar covers page titles, tasks, notes and even the reasons you gave for blocking something. Results update as you type, with open tasks first.
Nest pages, gather them into groups and drag them where they belong. Open several in tabs, and they are all still there when you come back.
Ask for a reading list, a project hub or a weekly planner, and your own Claude Code or Codex lays it out with progress counts and task cards. It keeps working offline afterwards.
Give a task a day, and a time if you like. Your Mac lets you know when it falls due, and clicking the notification opens the task.
Sprint Zero has no servers of its own. Your pages are stored on your Mac and iPhone, and you decide whether anything else gets to read them.
There is nowhere for your notes to leak from, because they are never sent to us in the first place.
Switch on the built-in MCP server and the assistants on your own computer get 23 tools for searching, reading and editing your pages and tasks.
The iPhone app is native too, not a shrunken copy of the desktop. Your pages, groups, sections and task states arrive through iCloud and work the same way with touch.
Sprint Zero is written in Swift, with native text editing and no web views. It opens quickly, types without lag and has a shortcut for nearly everything. We test it against a workspace of a thousand pages.
Honest comparisons with the apps you probably use today, including when they are the better choice.
A checkbox can only be ticked or not. Sprint Zero adds working, blocked and snoozed, so your list shows what you can actually do today.
Notion can be almost anything, which is its strength and its cost. Here is when a small native app for one person is the better fit, and when it is not.
Four good ways to keep a list on a Mac and iPhone, what each one does best, and the kind of person each one suits.
Soon. Sprint Zero is in private testing on Mac and iPhone and is being prepared for the Mac App Store and the App Store. This page will get real download links the day it ships.
One purchase covers both the Mac and iPhone apps under the same Apple Account. There is no subscription and nothing to unlock later. The price will be shown here at launch.
No. There is no Sprint Zero account and no sign-up. Your pages are saved on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, they travel through your own iCloud.
Yes, completely. Everything is stored locally and saved as you type. Sync is optional and catches up when you are back online.
Yes. Export any page as Markdown, or the whole workspace as a folder of Markdown files. You can also import Markdown, and pasting from Notion, Google Docs or a web page keeps headings, lists and tasks.
No. Sprint Zero is for one person. There is no sharing, commenting or team workspace, and no Windows, Android or web version. If you need those, a team tool will suit you better.

Needs macOS 14 or iOS 17, or later.
