Work. Home. Church. The side project.
Your life doesn't arrive as one list, but it all lands on one person. On Your Plate is the one place you can see the lot, shape a day you can actually face, and know what a yes costs before you give it. A to-do list, with a small hand inside it for the final touches, and your own Claude at your disposal.
2 places left in the beta. Free while it lasts. No card, no sales call.
A work tool that knows nothing about Sunday. A notes app full of half-thoughts. A calendar that says where you'll be, not what you owe people. Things fall through the gaps between them, and then you carry it as guilt, when it was only ever a filing problem.
The painted week
Set the hours you're awake. Those hours are yours. Paint the sections of your life that own part of the day: work nine to five, say, or church on Sunday morning. Whatever's left unpainted is still yours, and your own time is never something you paint.
The day is only what you put on it, never what an app thinks might fit. And a task flows into its section's hours, so a work thing waits for work time and a home thing for yours.
A due date is a due date
Plain arithmetic, no magic. For everything with a date, the list counts the hours its section really has before then and holds that against what's left of the task. Over eighty percent of the runway is tight. Over all of it won't make it without a swap. Expo says so days early, and offers the slice that fixes it, on the first day with room.
Big things land on a day as a slice, an hour of it, never the lot, and the due date never moves. When you bank a slice it asks what got done, so the number going down means something.
Your Claude, connected
So we didn't try to out-build it. On Your Plate connects straight to Claude — properly, not a chat box bolted on the side. Your Claude can read and write everything in here: your plates, your day, your milestones, what you're waiting on, what you've handed to people. It already knows your work, your family and how you talk. We're not going to beat that with a text box.
Works anywhere you already use Claude. Every feature ships with its tool the same day.
Expo
In a restaurant, the expo is the last pair of eyes before a plate goes out. Clean, garnished, right, or it doesn't leave the pass. That's all ours does. This is a to-do list first; Expo is the small hand inside it for the final touches. It reads a line you typed in a hurry and finds the day and the minutes in it. It holds a thought for someone until you next see them. It notices when a dated thing won't make it, and says so early.
The thinking stays with your Claude. Expo never scores you, and when it has nothing useful to say, it says nothing.
Cutover plan first. The paint says Work until five. Pin at 09:30
Anchor site: 6h left against 4h of Client Work time before Thursday. Tight. Put 2h on Monday
Nothing after five. That's right, leave it that way.
Hand-offs
Compose the list on your plate, send a link, and they tick things off with no account and no sign-up at all. You keep the record, they get four things to do, and your plate stays clear, which was the whole point of handing it over.
Told them in person? Hand it off anyway, link or no link, and Expo holds it for you until you next see them.

A to-do list should have a closing time. This one does. At the end of the day you sign off: anything still standing gets a day of its own, so nothing hangs over the evening. Then the whole app goes to night with you and stays that way till morning. No badge, no nudge, no last look. The list will be there when you are.
All of it in the beta. All of it free while it lasts.
It holds everything you're carrying — work, home, church, the side thing — on one plate with a section for each, then builds you a day out of it that fits the hours you've actually got. You see what a yes costs before you give it.
Yes, while it's in beta. There's no card, no trial clock. We're keeping the beta small on purpose so we can answer everyone properly.
No. “Call Jon” goes straight on the plate the moment you press enter. Expo only reads a line when there's something in it to read — a day, a time, some minutes — and even then it shows you what it made of it before anything lands.
No. A hand-off is a link. They open it, tick things off and leave a note, and you see it move on your side. No sign-up, no app to install, no talking anyone into anything.
On Your Plate connects to Claude over MCP, so the Claude you already use — desktop, terminal or phone — can read and write your plates, your day, your milestones and your hand-offs. It already knows your work and how you talk, so you can say “I'm not feeling creative today” and get a day built around that.
Only what you hand them. Your own plate is yours; shares are scoped, and each one is its own link you can switch off. We don't sell anything to anyone.
It installs like an app on iPhone and Android, works offline — a task added with no signal lands when you're back — and can nudge you when something's due.
It goes on a public roadmap with your answer attached — being looked at, next up, being built, landed, or a straight no with the reason. Nothing quietly disappears.
Every wish sent from inside the app gets a place on a public roadmap and an answer you can watch change: heard, being built, landed, or a straight no with a reason.
