Your family shouldn't get the leftover hours.

You can't make more hours. You can choose them. OROS puts dinner with your family, your Saturday mornings and your health on the calendar first, then makes everything else fit into the hours that are actually left.

In private testing. No card, no spam — one email when it opens up.

A calendar built around what you actually value

Your tasks, your goals and the hours you would never trade, in one place. It starts from what matters to you rather than from whatever is shouting loudest. Four things that gets you back.

You are never too busy for the things that matter

You prove that every week. The meeting got a slot. The dentist got a slot. The flight was booked months out. Dinner at home was the only one left to chance. OROS books it first, before a single work hour is allowed to ask for the time.

Protect the hours that matter most

You get 168 hours a week and you sleep through 56 of them. That leaves 112, and most weeks they are gone before you have decided anything about them. OROS puts the whole week in front of you with the things you said come first already on it, so you can see where the rest of your time is actually going.

Does your calendar reflect what you value?

Getting fit. Reading again. The thing you would do if there were time. They lose every week because work has deadlines and they do not. Give one a date and a number of hours and it stops being an intention and starts being Tuesday at seven.

hours, not intentions

Your family won't remember your to-do list. They'll remember you were home for dinner.

Most evenings end when you run out of energy, not when the work runs out — so you close the laptop still owing something and carry it into the room where they are. A day planned against real hours can actually be finished, and finishing it is what lets you be all the way home.

Why I built this

Your kids won't remember how messy the house was. They'll remember that they were loved. But those hours never go all at once — they go a night at a time, each one for a decent reason, and nobody counts them until the years they were supposed to add up to are already behind them. OROS exists to take them off the table first, while there is still something to protect.

OROS
“I could have told you exactly what my priorities were. Not one of them was on my calendar. The week filled up from the front with whatever asked loudest, and my family got whatever was still standing at the end of it. So I built the thing that takes their hours first.”

Non-negotiables come first

They go on the calendar before any goal, every week, for as long as you said they last. Nothing lands on top of one without OROS stopping to tell you what you're about to trade for it.

Each level only gets what's left

Your values take their hours first, then the work that never finishes, and only then your goals. A quarterly goal gets the room the year left it, a monthly project gets the room the quarter left it, and a task gets what the month left. The arithmetic doesn't bend, and there's no switch to make it.

AI is off until you turn it on

Every number OROS shows you is math on your own entries, and if there isn't enough data yet it says so instead of guessing. One switch in Settings lets it use a model to split a spoken note into separate tasks. It's off by default, and nothing you rely on stops working when it's off.

Connects to what you already use

OROS plans around what's genuinely on your calendar instead of pretending every day is empty. More connections are on the way.

Questions, answered.

What exactly is OROS?

A task manager built into a calendar. You tell it what you'd never give up — dinner at home, Saturday mornings, church, the gym. Those hours go on the calendar first, every week, and nothing can be booked over them without you being told. Everything else nests underneath in four levels: what you want out of the year, the goal that gets you a quarter of the way there, the project that's a month of it, and the task you're doing today. Each evening it asks how the day really went.

How is it different from a to-do list or a calendar app?

Both of them hand you an empty week and let the loudest thing win. The things nobody can fire you for missing are the ones that lose. OROS fills the week in the other order, tells you when you've promised more hours than it actually holds, and can show you which blocks it would move to fix that. It also answers a question neither of them can: what is today's task actually for. Every row carries the color of the annual target it belongs to, all the way down.

Does everything really need a deadline?

Everything is offered one. When you create a project, a target or a task, OROS asks when you want it done and fills in the date it would have picked, so it's a date to change rather than a blank to skip. Clearing it is a real answer and OROS accepts it. Quarterly goals are the exception — a goal is due at the end of the quarter it's filed under, so there's no date to fill in.

What counts as a non-negotiable?

Whatever you'd defend if someone tried to take it. OROS asks about sleep, family, exercise and time with God to start with, and you can add anything else. For each one you say how often it comes round — every week, every other week, once a month — and whether it ever ends. A monthly date night costs a quarter of what a weekly one does, and OROS prices it that way. They aren't tasks and you never check them off.

Is this an AI wrapper?

No. OROS works completely with no account, no key and no network, and every number it shows you is math on your own entries — it won't claim anything until there's enough data to back it up. There is one switch in Settings that lets it use a model for spoken notes, so that "call the Hendersons, chase the furnace quote and I need an idea for Advent" becomes three tasks instead of one. It's off by default, and nothing you rely on stops working when it's off.

Do I have to connect my calendar?

You can use OROS without it, but connecting Google Calendar is what lets it plan around the meetings you already have. Anything OROS creates goes to a separate Focus Blocks calendar, so your primary calendar is never written to on its own.

What happens to the goals I can't do this quarter?

They go on the shelf. Nothing on the shelf gets counted, scheduled or scored, so it can't turn into a second to-do list. When the quarter ends, the review offers all of it back to you, along with everything you didn't finish — and each one either moves to next month or gets dropped, on purpose, by you.

When can I use it?
