Why We Built This To-Do List
Most to-do apps push you toward accounts, cloud sync, and tracking you didn't ask for. We wanted something simpler: a fast, private list that lives in your browser, works offline, and still handles the essentials — priorities, due dates, categories, filtering, and backups. No signup, no uploads, just a clear place to plan your day and get things done.
Plan Your Day in Three Steps
Add a task with a title, priority, due date, and optional category or note. Organize your list by dragging tasks into order, filtering by status or priority, or switching to focus mode for today's work only. Check tasks off as you finish them to build your streak, and export a JSON or CSV backup whenever you want. Everything saves automatically in your browser.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Writing vague, non-actionable tasks
✓ Solution:
"Work on project" is hard to start and easy to avoid. Rewrite it as a specific action with a time estimate, like "Draft project intro (30 min)." Concrete tasks are measurable, less intimidating, and far more likely to actually get done.
❌ Overloading the list
✓ Solution:
A list with 50+ items becomes a wall of guilt rather than a plan. Cap your active daily tasks — the 1-3-5 rule (one big, three medium, five small) works well — and park everything else in a "Someday" or project list. Use focus mode to hide the rest.
❌ Never reviewing the list
✓ Solution:
Without a regular cleanup, tasks go stale and the list loses your trust. Do a weekly review: clear completed items, reschedule what slipped, delete what no longer matters, and add new priorities. A list you review is a list you'll keep using.
❌ Ignoring your energy patterns
✓ Solution:
Scheduling deep, demanding work for your afternoon slump sets it up to fail. Put challenging tasks in your peak hours and save routine, low-focus items for energy dips. Matching task difficulty to your natural rhythm makes the whole day flow better.
❌ Treating every task as equally urgent
✓ Solution:
When everything is "high priority," nothing is. Sort tasks by urgency and importance so you tackle true priorities first, schedule the important-but-not-urgent work before it becomes a crisis, and drop the time-wasters. The High/Medium/Low levels make this quick.
Frequently Asked Questions
Around five to nine is the sweet spot, which fits how working memory handles active items. The 1-3-5 rule is an easy structure: one big task, three medium ones, and five small quick wins. Too few feels unproductive; too many creates stress and procrastination.
Yes. Everything is stored locally in your browser, with no account, no server uploads, and no tracking, and it works offline. The trade-off is that tasks don't sync across devices — if you need that, export a backup or use a cloud-based app. For a private, no-signup list, the local approach is ideal.
Yes. Export your full list to JSON or CSV anytime and re-import it to restore. There's a delete confirmation to prevent accidents, but no undo for permanent deletion, so it's smart to export before any mass clear-out and keep the file in cloud storage or on a drive.
A few categories usually beat one giant list — something like personal, work, health, and a "someday" bucket. Splitting by area reduces clutter and makes context-switching easier. Just don't over-categorize; start with three to five groups and adjust. The tool supports unlimited categories with filtering.
This is built for individual, day-to-day task management — quick capture, priorities, due dates, and checkboxes. Project tools like Asana or Trello add assignees, dependencies, and team workflows for complex, multi-person projects. Use this for personal planning and simple lists; reach for a PM tool when a whole team is involved.
