Do I need a dedicated app to use the Eisenhower Matrix?

No. You can draw four boxes on paper, or set up a table/board in Notion. A dedicated app mainly buys you two things: less setup work (the quadrants already exist) and reminders that pull you back to re-sort as new tasks arrive. If you just want to try the method once before committing to a tool, a free web version works fine.

Does Todoist have an Eisenhower Matrix view?

Not a built-in one. Todoist's own help center walks users through building the four quadrants manually with labels or its four priority levels (P1-P4) — it works, but it's assembled from general-purpose parts rather than a dedicated matrix view.

What's the difference between a personal Eisenhower Matrix app and a team one like Priority Matrix?

Personal apps (Eisenhower app, TickTick, WeekOf7) assume one person sorting their own tasks. Priority Matrix is built for teams — shared boards, assignment, and deep Microsoft 365/Outlook integration — which shows up in both its feature set and its per-seat pricing.

Best Eisenhower Matrix Apps in 2026

Searching “eisenhower matrix app” turns up two very different kinds of results: apps built specifically around the four-quadrant method, and general task/note apps (Notion, Todoist, Miro) that can be configured to look like one. Both are legitimate — which one is right depends on whether you want the matrix to be the whole app or one view inside a bigger tool.

TickTick	Built-in template inside a bigger app	Free / $49.99/yr	Yes	People who want the matrix as one feature of an all-purpose app
Priority Matrix	Yes, dedicated (team-focused)	~$12-15/user/mo	Limited	Teams already inside Microsoft 365/Outlook
Dwight	Yes, dedicated	Free (Android) / $3.99 one-time (iOS)	Yes	A simple, no-subscription mobile matrix
Notion (template)	No — manually built	Free / paid Notion tiers	Yes	People who already live in Notion and don’t mind assembling it themselves

Eisenhower app (eisenhower.me)

This is the closest thing to an “official” standalone Eisenhower Matrix app — the name is literally the method’s. The free “Ike” tier gets you the core matrix, a focus mode, and calendar scheduling. Paid tiers add task history, quarterly goals, a Kanban/calendar view, and — as of its current pricing page — an option to connect your own AI agent through an MCP/API integration. One limitation worth knowing before you commit: there’s no native Android app yet, only a web app and an iPhone app.

TickTick

TickTick isn’t built around the matrix the way the app above is — it’s a full to-do list app (habit tracking, Pomodoro timer, calendar) that happens to include an Eisenhower Matrix template as one view among many, available on its free tier. If you want one app that does everything and don’t mind the matrix being a menu item rather than the whole interface, this is a reasonable default.

Priority Matrix

Priority Matrix is explicitly a team tool. The matrix is shared, tasks can be assigned to teammates, and it integrates deeply with Microsoft Teams and Outlook. If your organization already runs on Microsoft 365, this is the one built for that; if you’re sorting your own personal tasks solo, the per-seat pricing and collaboration features are more than you need.

Dwight

Dwight is a lighter-weight, mobile-first matrix app — free on Android, a one-time $3.99 purchase on iOS rather than a subscription. It adds a “Backlog” for tasks you’re not ready to sort yet and automatic categorization into Today/Tomorrow/Someday tabs. Worth a look if you specifically want to avoid a recurring subscription for something this simple.

Notion (as a matrix)

Notion doesn’t ship an Eisenhower Matrix feature — but its flexibility means a table or board view can be set up to function as one, and templates for this exist widely. The tradeoff is setup time: you’re building the matrix yourself rather than opening an app that already has it, and it inherits whatever friction your existing Notion workspace has.

Todoist

Todoist’s own help documentation is explicit about this: there’s no built-in matrix view. Instead, it walks you through recreating the four quadrants using either two labels (@important, @urgent) or its four built-in priority levels (P1 through P4), each mapped to filters. It works, and it means you’re not leaving an app you may already use daily — but you’re assembling the matrix from general-purpose parts, and it requires tagging every task correctly for the filters to sort it right.

WeekOf7’s free tool

We built a no-signup, browser-based Eisenhower Matrix specifically for people who want to try the method itself before adopting any app around it — drag tasks into quadrants, or use the buttons if you’re on mobile, and print or save as PDF when you’re done. Try it here. It’s also the sorting layer inside the full WeekOf7 app, paired with role-based weekly planning — but the standalone tool works with no account either way.

How to actually choose

If you want the matrix and nothing else, as a permanent daily habit, the dedicated apps (Eisenhower app, Dwight) are built for exactly that and won’t ask you to also adopt a to-do list, calendar, and habit tracker along the way. If you already live inside a bigger tool — TickTick, Todoist, Notion — using its built-in or DIY matrix view avoids adding one more app to check. And if what you actually want is the matrix as part of a weekly ritual, not a daily one — deciding your big rocks for the week, then sorting the rest — that’s the specific gap our free matrix tool and the full WeekOf7 app are built around.
