What's inside

Today

  • Overdue, due today, blocked and in-progress tasks in one list, ready to tick off
  • Hours logged today, overall completion and your next milestones

Tasks, three ways

  • A Kanban board: drag cards from To Do to In Progress, Review and Done
  • A list with status and project filters, and a month calendar of due dates
  • Priority, due date, estimated hours, tags, subtasks and a blocked / waiting-on note
  • Daily, weekly or monthly repeating tasks: finish one and the next is created
  • Search across tasks, projects and tags

Timeline and milestones

  • A Gantt chart of every project, with its progress and a line for today
  • Milestones on the timeline, with a countdown to each one

Time and money

  • Start / stop timer, and 25-minute focus sprints that end with a chime
  • Manual time logs, and estimated vs tracked hours for each project
  • Budget hours and a fee per project, with the % of the budget used and your effective hourly rate
  • Your own currency symbol

Your data

  • Quick capture for ideas, turned into tasks when you're ready
  • Full backup file in one click, and a CSV export of your tasks
  • Two looks: Blueprint (dark) and Drafting (light)
