Finilist

The list never ends. Choose what matters.

Finilist is a warm, simple task manager built on one idea: your time is finite, your list isn't. Keep everything on an open list, work from a small closed list, and consciously let go of what no longer earns its place.

Three lists, one decision

Open list

  • New proposal for Client X
  • Newsletter idea
  • Clean up Downloads
  • Learn Svelte
  • + 38 more

Everything you might do: Inbox, projects, someday. As long as it needs to be. Nobody expects you to finish it.

Closed list 5/5

  • Invoice for Ana
  • Logo v2 for Client X
  • Call the accountant
  • Article draft
  • 30-minute walk

What you're doing today, in a fixed number of slots per day (5 unless you choose otherwise). Nothing new gets in until something leaves: done, set aside, or sent back.

Let go

  • Reorganize the bookshelfnot this year
  • Chinese coursechose something else

What you choose not to do, with a reason if you like. It stops showing as overdue, stops nagging, and you can revisit it in your weekly review.

What it looks like

Finilist's Today page, with two of five slots taken
Today: what you chose for the day, like stones on the horizon. When the slots are full, the day is full.
Finilist's Lists page, with four columns
The lists: everything you could do, what you do today, what waits on others, and what you set aside.

One dot, one week

you are here

This is what a long life looks like. Not everything you could do will fit, but you can choose what goes into this week.

The skill isn't finishing everything, it's choosing what to do and what to let go, on purpose. No AI filling your day, no endless notifications.

“The day will never arrive when you finally have everything under control.”

Oliver Burkeman
