Most Mac to-do apps are a shrunk phone screen or a browser tab in disguise. Vekto is a real Mac window with a sidebar and keyboard shortcuts, built around goals and reflection, so today's list connects to what you actually want this quarter.
The Mac is where you line up the quarter and do the work that needs a full screen and a real keyboard. Then you open your to-do app and it is a phone layout stretched wide, or a browser tab wearing a window costume. Slow to launch, heavy to scroll, and it forgets you have a keyboard at all.
So the planning stays in your head, or in a note you lose track of. The one place you were ready to think clearly turns into the place you wrestle a laggy list. That is backwards.
Vekto is written as genuine native code for the Mac, not a web page in a frame. It opens in a normal title-bar window with a sidebar, the way a Mac app should.
Underneath is one simple loop: Plan. Execute. Reflect. You plan the week and the quarter as real goals, work through today with your hands on the keyboard, and close a goal or a period with a short reflection. One Vekto account keeps it in sync with your iPhone and iPad, and every device keeps working offline.
Vekto is per-platform native code, so it launches fast and behaves like the rest of your desk. A standard title-bar window you can size and place. A sidebar to move between Today, Week, Goals, Projects and Reflection. Full dark mode and a set of accent colors. No spinning web view, no page to wait on.
Switch views with Command and a number. Type a to-do in plain language, like "call Anna tomorrow at 2", and press Return to save it. Open Settings with Command-comma. You can plan a whole morning without reaching for the trackpad.
The Mac gives you the screen, so Vekto uses it. Today plus the next six days on one Week board. Goals for the Week, Month, Quarter and Year, each with a priority and a progress bar. Link a to-do to a goal so the small task points at the big one, and tag today's work 01 Focus, 02 Important or 03 Normal. Project notes ("Small Notes") stay in their own space, separate from your dated to-dos.
Vekto is local-first: your data lives on the device and works with no connection. Sign in with your Vekto account and it syncs across Mac, iPhone and iPad once you are back online, through your account, not iCloud. Plan at your desk, check it off on the train.
Vekto keeps fewer things in your head instead of adding another heavy system. Unfinished to-dos roll forward as "left from yesterday" instead of quietly vanishing, so nothing needs babysitting.
This is a goal planner for Mac, not just a checklist. Your day links to Week, Month, Quarter and Year goals, and you close any goal or period with free text, a guiding question, or a simple 1 to 5 rating.
Real Mac code, and an export whenever you want one: a readable Markdown document or a full versioned JSON backup. No lock-in, no cloud you cannot walk away from.
Those are fine for a flat list. Vekto is for when the list needs structure: priorities on today, a week board, and goals your daily to-dos actually connect to, plus a reflection step when you close something out. If a plain list is enough for you, keep it.
No. You get 14 days free with no card up front. After that it is €4.99 a month or €39.99 a year. For the first 250 people there is a one-time Founder Lifetime at €69.99.
It is a genuine native Mac app, not a web wrapper, and it works offline. Sync runs through your Vekto account, not iCloud, and carries your data across Mac, iPhone and iPad once you are back online.
No, and we would rather say so than pad the list. Vekto is a normal windowed Mac app you open, plan in, and close. That is the point: one calm place to think, not another icon watching you.
Vekto gives it a to-do app that is genuinely native, keyboard-driven, and built around your goals, so today connects to the quarter instead of floating loose.
