Ivy 1.0 - A stress-free way to get things done

Hi everyone! Today we're excited to introduce the first version of Ivy to the Product Hunt community. But first, a bit of a backstory... In 2014 I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). I was in school at the time, and I was trying to manage my time at University with two part time jobs. It was definitely a chaotic point in my life, and in order to get through it all, I had to take things one day at a time – keeping my mental and physical health top of mind. I did that by keeping detailed journals and to-do lists. Fast forward a bit and I found myself dropping out of University to work at Shopify, and then Wealthsimple (both considered to be some pretty exciting Canadian companies!). So over the ~5 years or so of working at Shopify then Wealthsimple, I (like many) had tried a number of different tools to keep my life and priorities in check. Journaling, Jira, Trello, Github, Email, Slack, etc…but none of them really helped me get a grasp of everything that was going on in my life. Indeed, using multiple tools to try and stay productive is somewhat counterintuitive. And so that’s where Ivy comes in. Today it’s a simple to-do list app based on a 100-year old productivity method (The Ivy Lee Method). But in the future we see Ivy becoming a tool that aggregates all the different ways people get things done, with a balance of mental and digital health on top. We're currently iOS only with plans to roll out on other platforms in the coming months. Let me know if you have any questions or comments! And thanks to all the folks who have helped us improve the product over the past month.

Such a big fan of Ivy!

Pros:

Simple, effective, and focused.

Cons:

Nice to have: more options to carry forward unfinished tasks, Kong term vs short term tasks.

I really enjoy this app - glad to have it in my life!

Tucker is an amazing founder + human! Excited to watch him and his product thrive.

Pros:

Great way to focus my day.

Cons:

More guidance on the backlog feature to help me focus my long-term planning, too!

Have been loving the Ivy all the way from the early beta. Such a great approach for keeping focused. It's a refreshing take on to do lists and task managers that often get less useful with more features.

Looks interesting. A few more customisation options will make it even better.

Excited to see what's next for Ivy! So much potential.

Pros:

Been using Ivy regularly for weeks and it's working for me so far. Straightforward and easy-to-use.

Cons:

Push notification customization (reminders) would be great.

Great work on Ivy! It's rare that a new app can become a habit for me as quickly as Ivy has. And I'm thankful for that -- definitely helping me stay focused and organized.

Great app.

This is exactly what I needed... I keep making notes in my phone but they just get lost in there and later when I check them I have no idea what do they relate to. Cool idea! :)
