General
What is TODO?
TODO is a free, simple task management app designed for daily and weekly planning. It combines the best of digital notes, calendars, and todo lists into one clean interface.
Is TODO really free?
Yes — TODO is 100% free with no ads, no premium tiers, and no hidden costs. All features including repeating tasks, project lists, weekly view, and cloud sync are available to everyone.
Do I need to create an account?
You can start using TODO instantly without signing up. Creating a free account unlocks cloud sync across devices and automatic backups.
What devices does TODO work on?
TODO works on any device with a web browser — desktop, tablet, or mobile. You can also install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for an app-like experience on iOS and Android.
Features
What is automatic task rollover?
Automatic rollover means unfinished tasks from yesterday automatically appear on today's list. No manual copying or dragging required — just pick up where you left off.
How do repeating tasks work?
Set any task to repeat daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Once completed, the task automatically regenerates for the next occurrence. Perfect for habits, routines, and recurring work.
Can I organize tasks into projects?
Yes — create unlimited project lists (work, personal, shopping, etc.) and schedule tasks to specific dates. Scheduled tasks automatically appear in your daily view on their due date.
How does the weekly view work?
The weekly view lets you plan your entire week at a glance. Add weekly goals and break them into subtasks. Link subtasks to specific days and they'll appear in your daily view.
Can I add subtasks to my tasks?
Yes — any task can have unlimited subtasks. Break down complex projects into smaller, actionable steps and track progress as you complete each one.
Can I share lists with others?
Yes — share any project list with family, friends, or colleagues. All members see real-time updates and can add, complete, or modify tasks together.
Productivity
How can TODO help with New Year resolutions?
Turn resolutions into repeating daily tasks. TODO's automatic rollover ensures you never lose track, and the weekly view helps you see your progress. The system does the remembering so you can focus on doing.
Why is TODO better than complex productivity apps?
Complex apps with dozens of features often create more friction than they solve. TODO focuses on what actually helps: a clean list, automatic rollover, and just enough structure to stay organized without feeling overwhelmed.
How do I build better habits with TODO?
Create repeating tasks for your habits (exercise, reading, journaling). The daily visibility and streak tracking naturally reinforce consistency. Start small — even a 5-minute daily task compounds over time.
What is calm productivity?
Calm productivity means getting things done without stress or burnout. TODO supports this by keeping things simple, preventing overwhelm, and using gentle systems (like rollover) instead of guilt-inducing deadlines.
Technical
Is my data secure?
Yes — your data is encrypted and stored securely in the cloud. We never sell your data or show you ads. Your tasks are private and only accessible to you (and anyone you explicitly share lists with).
Does TODO work offline?
Yes — TODO works offline when installed as a PWA. Changes sync automatically when you're back online. Perfect for commutes, flights, or areas with spotty internet.
How do I install TODO as an app?
On desktop, click 'Install' in your browser's address bar. On iOS, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap the menu → Install App. This gives you an app-like experience with offline support.
Can I export my data?
Yes — you can export your tasks at any time. Your data belongs to you, and we make it easy to take it with you.
