Most task managers let you add hundreds of items, which is exactly the problem: when everything is on the list, nothing is actually the priority.

9Goals only lets you keep nine. You rank them by importance, and a traffic-light system does the rest: your top three sit in red, the next three in amber, and your last three in green. Drag a goal to a new position and it changes color automatically, so at a glance you always know what deserves your attention first.

That's the whole idea. No projects, no tags, no due dates, no clutter — just the nine things that matter most, in order.

9Goals is currently free to use.
