Press kit · Diluta 2.0 · August 2026

Your to-do list now has an opinion.

Diluta’s new insight layer reads a person’s whole week — deadlines, energy, and the decisions already made — and surfaces what genuinely needs them. Then it stops. You make the call.

Now on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web, in eleven languages.

The story

Assistive, not autonomous.

The industry is racing to build AI that takes the wheel — agents that book your meetings, schedule your work, and act without being asked. The pitch is always the same: hand over your day and stop thinking about it.

Diluta is a deliberate argument against that, made by someone who spent twenty years building the automation the industry is now aiming at people’s daily lives.

“A week with a sick kid in it doesn’t want to be optimized. It wants to be understood. The industry keeps trying to hand people an autopilot. What people actually need is a second opinion — and then to be left to make the call themselves.”

Eric Saint-Marc, Founder & CEO, ThinkAhead Corporation

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — August 25, 2026

ThinkAhead Corporation today released a major update to Diluta, its personal productivity app, adding an insight layer that reads a person’s entire week and surfaces what actually needs their attention. The update ships simultaneously across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android, in eleven languages.

The update lands in the middle of an industry-wide race to build AI that takes over the calendar — autonomous agents that book meetings, schedule work, and act without being asked. Diluta is a deliberate argument against that model, made by a founder who spent two decades building the kind of automation the industry is now pointing at people’s daily lives.

“I’ve spent twenty years automating systems that had to run without a human in the loop, and they worked, because a payment pipeline is not a person. A week with a sick kid in it doesn’t want to be optimized. It wants to be understood.”

— Eric Saint-Marc, Founder & CEO, ThinkAhead Corporation

What the insight layer does

Most task apps stop at storage. They hold what a person typed and hand it back, unsorted, every morning. Diluta’s new layer does the pass a good manager — or a calmer version of the same person on a Sunday night — would do, automatically, each time the app opens:

  • Needs You Now — the handful of items that genuinely need attention today: overdue, high-stakes, or quietly stalling. Pulled to the top before the user goes looking.
  • The Power Grid — the week’s work mapped by decision weight against energy, so demanding work lands in the hours a person can actually do it.
  • Portfolio Health — every project as a single line: progress, next deadline, and where the risk sits.
  • Strategic Rollup — each goal with its real pace and a projected finish, so “slightly behind” surfaces while there’s still time to act.
  • Flow — work coming in against work going out, making a pile-up visible before it’s felt.
  • Energy & Capacity — the week’s load by energy, with a quiet flag when a single day is asking too much.

None of it requires setup. There are no reports to build, no dashboards to configure, and no quiz to take. The analysis runs on the tasks a person has already entered.

Two smaller changes that matter more than they sound

Diluta 2.0 also rebuilds two things people touch every day. The month view now adapts to a phone screen: show the full week, weekdays only, or expand the weekend — so each day is wide enough to actually read what is on it, instead of reducing a week to coloured dots. And the time picker starts where the user is already headed — tapping morning, afternoon or evening drops the wheel beside the intended hour rather than making them spin through the whole day.

Everywhere, in eleven languages

Diluta now runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web, with a single subscription covering all of them. The app — including the entire insight layer — is fully localized into eleven languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, Korean and Hindi.

The breadth is unusual for the size of the company. ThinkAhead is a solo operation, and Diluta was built and localized with AI doing much of the engineering work that would traditionally require a team.

“Five years ago a product this wide would have needed thirty people and a Series A to exist. That’s the part of the AI story I think is actually underrated. It didn’t replace the judgment. It replaced the headcount I would have needed to express the judgment.”

Built for the week that doesn’t go to plan

Diluta’s core promise has not changed: it’s a to-do list built for people whose Monday looks different every week — solo operators, freelancers, and parents running a life and a workload at the same time. When a meeting moves or a deadline lands early, the app keeps up with what actually happened rather than turning the remainder red.

“Most productivity apps charge you a guilt tax. You open them and the first thing you see is everything you didn’t do. You’ve paid that tax before the day has even started. I wanted to build the one that doesn’t charge it.”

Alongside the insight layer, Diluta includes a unified calendar and task view, a Kanban board, the Studio — a focus space with a Pomodoro timer and a notepad that autosaves — shared tasks with task-level messaging, templates, automations, and an AI assistant for capture, transcription, and breaking work down.

Pricing and availability

Diluta is available now on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, on Google Play for Android. It is free to try for seven days or the first seventy tasks. A single subscription at $7.99 per month unlocks the entire app on every platform — no tiers, no add-ons, no paid extras.

Eric Saint-Marc

Founder & CEO, ThinkAhead Corporation

For over two decades, Eric Saint-Marc led technology modernization across hospitality, fintech, cloud infrastructure and enterprise systems — large-scale initiatives, executive teams, and systems built to perform under pressure. He watched technology advance while the people using it burned out.

In 2020 he founded ThinkAhead Corporation to build in the other direction: software that adapts to people rather than the reverse. He has written publicly on artificial intelligence, contextual insight and prescriptive workflows since well before the current wave, at thinkahead.medium.com and in CIOReview.

“Most builders start with the technology. I start with the human — the emotion, the experience, the friction people actually feel — and bring in AI to serve it.”
