9 Plates – Visualize and gamify your deadlines to boost task completion

Summary: 9 Plates replaces traditional calendars with a spinning plates interface that visualizes deadlines and prioritizes tasks using a point and level system. Users add tasks via voice or text, complete them to score points and advance from level 1 (Inadequate) to 9 (Mastery), while missed tasks cause plates to break and points to drop.

What it does

It displays upcoming deadlines as spinning plates on one screen, highlighting high-priority tasks. Users add plates quickly by voice or text and track progress through gamified levels and points, with an optional Life Goals mode to break larger objectives into tasks linked to rewards.

Who it's for

Individuals seeking a visual, gamified approach to managing short- and long-term deadlines without calendar overwhelm.

Why it matters

It addresses task overload by providing immediate visual focus and real consequences for missed deadlines, improving motivation and productivity.
