Start each day knowing exactly what matters.
essentia is a bullet journaling app that helps you capture, plan, and review — so you hold on to only what truly deserves your attention.
You don't need another app that adds to the noise.
You already have a calendar. A notes app. A to-do list. Maybe three. And yet, somehow, you start every day staring at a mountain of tasks you didn't finish yesterday — dragging guilt instead of clarity.
The problem isn't that you have too much to do. It's that your tools never ask you to decide: does this actually matter today?
Capture. Plan. Review. Let go.
essentia is built on bullet journaling — the idea that writing things down isn't enough. You need to regularly decide what still deserves your time.

No guilt. Just clarity.Empty your head. essentia takes care of the rest.
Log tasks, notes, and ideas instantly — no need to decide where they go or how to classify them. The inbox holds everything without judgment. Quick capture from your home screen widget, the share extension from any app, or directly in essentia. Clear your head when you need to focus, and process when you're ready.
Every task in its place, when you decide.
When you're ready to process, Triage walks you through your inbox item by item. Assign dates, priorities, recurrence, and locations only to the tasks that truly deserve a spot in your day. No overwhelm, no rushed decisions — at your pace and with full calm.
Stop dragging yesterday into today.
With a single tap from the Today view, review everything left unfinished. For each task, decide: move it to today, push it to later, or let it go. And from Organize, Triage walks you through your inbox item by item. Start fresh, not buried.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Focused capabilities that cover the full loop from capture to clarity.
