Eisenhower Matrix Planner

A stunning, modern, and truly continuous 10×10 Eisenhower Matrix — built with Python + CustomTkinter

Unlike traditional 4-quadrant apps, this planner uses a smooth, fully continuous 10×10 priority grid where every task is precisely positioned based on its Importance and Urgency scores — no more forced quadrants!

Tasks appear as minimal colored dots — hover to reveal full details. Pure elegance.

Features

• True 10×10 continuous matrix — drag anywhere with pixel-perfect precision
• Hover-to-reveal — clean dots, beautiful popup cards on hover
• Smooth drag & drop with instant snap-to-grid
• Auto-increase urgency for near-deadline tasks (every 30 minutes)
• Edit / Delete tasks with one click
• Full dark/light mode support (system sync)
• Export entire matrix as PNG
• 100% offline — SQLite persistence
• Professional logging (structlog + rich)
• Zero external UI frameworks — pure Python + CustomTkinter

• Task created/moved/deleted
• Resize events
• Theme changes
• Export actions
• Errors & crashes

Why This App?

Because most Eisenhower apps are stuck in 1980s thinking: 4 rigid boxes.

This one understands that priority is a spectrum, not a category.

You deserve a planner that feels like Notion, Figma, and Obsidian had a baby — and that baby speaks Python.
