Daily Tasks
Free daily task planner: park tasks in a backlog, pull them into today's session, review history. Installable, offline, optional sync. No sign-up.
Plan your day by pulling tasks from a parking lot backlog into daily sessions.
Track what you worked on, mark tasks as done, and revisit past sessions.
All data stored locally with optional cloud sync.
It is a to-do app for people who collect more tasks than one day can hold. Everything you might do goes in the Parking Lot. Each day you choose what to bring into the Session, work through it, then close it and look back at what you got done.
How to use it
- Type a task into the new-task field and press Enter. It lands in whichever tab you are on, the Parking Lot or the Session.
- Move tasks between the two with the move button, or with M on a selected task.
- Click a task's status, or press Space, to cycle it from pending to in progress to done.
- Add notes to a task, indent it under another to make a subtask, and drag tasks to reorder them.
- When you are finished for the day, press End session. Done tasks move into History, and anything unfinished goes back to the Parking Lot as pending.
- Open History to see past sessions.
Press ? in the app for the full list of keyboard shortcuts. A few of them: 1 and 2 switch tabs, N jumps to the new-task field, H opens History, Delete removes a task and Ctrl+Z undoes it, and Shift with the arrow keys moves or indents a task.
You can keep several lists, such as Personal and Work, each with its own Parking Lot, Session and History. The tool can be installed as an app and opens without a connection.
Your data
Tasks live in your browser's IndexedDB on this device, so the tool works with no account and no connection. Done tasks older than 30 days are tucked into a local archive to keep the lists short.
Cloud sync is optional and off until you connect it. You can connect Google Drive or OneDrive (personal Microsoft accounts only). Your tasks, lists and sessions are saved as a file in an app-specific folder in your own cloud account, and the tool asks only for access to that folder (plus your email address, to show which account is connected), not to the rest of your Drive. Changes sync shortly after you make them, and again when you return to the tab or come back online. The data goes between your browser and your cloud account, not through a server on this site.
If you edit the same task on two devices, changes to different fields are merged. If both devices changed the same field, the app shows the conflict and lets you keep the local or the remote value. Advanced options let you restore this device from the cloud, overwrite the cloud with this device, or disconnect, which leaves your local data alone. The cloud sign-in can expire, and the app then asks you to sign in again. Archiving old tasks happens on each device separately.
To avoid clashes, only one window edits at a time. A second window is read-only until you take over. If the installed app and a browser tab are both open, the app asks you to close one.
Questions
Do I need to connect a cloud account? No. Without one, your tasks stay on this device only, and clearing your browser's site data would delete them.
Can I use it on my phone and laptop? Yes, with cloud sync connected on both.
