A modern desktop todo app that actually makes task management enjoyable. Built with Tauri 2, React, and TypeScript—because who says productivity tools have to be boring?
Separate your academic and personal life with dedicated School and Life workspaces. School tasks integrate with course management and grade tracking, while life tasks support custom categories and auto-cleanup. No more mixing your exam prep with grocery lists.
Built a template-based recurrence system that's actually flexible. Create recurring tasks with daily, weekly, or monthly patterns (think RRULE but simpler). Instances generate on-demand with a 90-day horizon, and you can edit individual occurrences or entire series. Perfect for those "every Monday morning" habits.
Why stare at a boring dashboard when you can have animated weather? Integrated Open-Meteo API with dynamic CSS animations—particle systems for rain/snow, gradient overlays, and even starfields for clear nights. The weather widget adapts based on WMO weather codes and time of day. It's functional and pretty.
For the students: full course management with color-coded courses, grade tracking with weighted calculations, and task types (assignments, exams, labs, etc.). Know exactly where you stand in each class.
The essentials done right: status workflow (todo → doing → done), subtasks, due dates, priorities, and effort estimates. Recurring instances appear at midnight on their occurrence date, keeping your schedule clean.

npm run tauri:buildI'm actively working on some exciting features that'll make this even better:
The big one. I'm planning to add AI features that'll actually make your life easier:
- Smart Prioritization: AI that understands your deadlines, workload, and patterns to suggest what to tackle first
- Auto-Scheduling: Let AI figure out when you should work on tasks based on your calendar and energy levels
- Intelligent Categorization: Automatically organize tasks into the right categories
- Task Recommendations: AI-generated suggestions based on your habits and goals
Quick-access widgets so you can see and complete tasks without opening the full app. Perfect for that second monitor or when you just need a quick check-in.
If I decide to expand beyond desktop, I'll build a mobile app with widgets showing today's tasks and upcoming deadlines. Because sometimes you need to check your todos while you're away from your desk.
- Better animations and transitions
- More customization options
- Dark/light theme toggle (currently dark-only)
- Keyboard shortcuts for power users
The AI features are the main focus right now—I want to make task management genuinely intelligent, not just a fancy list.
Used rapidtables as a reference for some parts of the implementation.
