You already know what needs doing.
The problem is fitting it into your day.

Most task apps excel at collecting tasks — but they stop there. The average person ends their day with more tasks than they started with, not from lack of effort, but because their tools treat the to-do list as the final product. happen goes further: every task gets a home in your actual day.

  • Rich text editing with formatting tools
  • Always accessible alongside your tasks
  • Trash recovery — nothing lost forever

Set up in 60 seconds.

No onboarding wizard. No tutorials required. Just open the app and start.

1

Capture your tasks

Type tasks naturally. Add categories, priorities, and due dates in one line. Or just dump the thought — you can organise it later.

2

Schedule your day

Drag tasks from your pool onto the Timebox. Use Auto-schedule to fill gaps automatically. Lock the blocks you're committed to.

3

Execute & iterate

Tick tasks done, run Pomodoro sessions, track your completions. Tomorrow's plan builds on today's history — automatically.

Why happen

Built for people who get things done.

No team features. No complexity. Just focused tools for professionals who own their day.

📅

Time-blocking at the core

The Timebox isn't an afterthought — it's the foundation. Drag tasks onto your calendar in 15-minute increments.

🗣️

Natural language input

Type the way you think. happen extracts categories, priorities, and due dates without a single form field.

🎩

Life organised by context

Hats represent your major life areas. Switch between Work, Health, and Family — or combine for a complete view.

🧵

Space for unformed ideas

Loose Threads captures thoughts that aren't ready to be tasks yet. No pressure, no structure required.

🔁

Recurring tasks that adapt

Mark done and it auto-respawns with the next due date. Your habits stay on track without manual resets.

🍅

Focus mode built in

Pin a Pomodoro timer to any task. Stay in flow, track your sessions, and get notified when it's time for a break.

From people who own their day.

★★★★★

I've tried Todoist, Notion, TickTick — they all let me collect tasks beautifully. happen is the first one that actually makes me schedule them. That difference is everything.

The natural language input alone saves me 10 minutes a day. I just type what's in my head and everything is filed correctly. The Timebox turns that list into a real plan.

Loose Threads is underrated. I used to lose half my good ideas because they didn't fit into a task app structure. Now there's a place for the messy middle, and I love it.
