Today

The whole day on one screen.

Today groups your Tasks by time of day. Beside them sit your next Event, your Habits and your Goals, and the keys worth knowing run along the bottom. Hover a number.

The Today page: the day’s count under the title, linked Notes, then Tasks under Overdue and Afternoon, with Up next, Habits, Goals and Waiting on in the rail beside them.
The tour

Thirty seconds, start to done.

Add a Task, check one off, jump with ⌘K, switch Layouts, drag a Task. Pause the film, drag the slider or skip to a chapter.

A scripted tour of blastbeat. A Task is added with Quick add from a typed sentence, another is checked off, the Command palette jumps to the Studio Project, the Layout switches from List to Board, and a Task is dragged between Sections.

Quick add

Type it the way you’d say it.

Press Q anywhere. Dates, times, Priority, Project and Labels come out of the sentence as you type. The title is whatever’s left.

The demo runs the same parser as the app. Its clock is fixed at Wednesday, 2026-10-14, and its Projects are Launch, Home, Garden, Reading list and Labels are errands, waiting, deep work.

Views

One list. Five ways to look at it.

Every Project has a List, Board, Calendar, Backlog and Timeline, and the Planner shows them across Projects. Nothing is copied; it’s the same nine Tasks, moving.

The same nine Tasks laid out as a List, a Board, a Calendar, a Backlog and a Timeline. Pick a Layout to see them move.

Press a key.
Go ahead, these work right here. Or click one.
Folded in

Mail, Calendar and Notes. Same keys.

Notes sit next to the Tasks they describe instead of in another app. Connecting your Google account, to bring your Events and Mail beside your Tasks, is coming soon.

Mail · coming soon

Triage Gmail without leaving the list.

J and K to move. T turns a Thread into a Task, N into a Note, E archives it. The Thread keeps a link to what you made.

Goals & Habits

Outcomes, and the Habits under them.

House rules

A tool, not a coach.

Nothing keeps score.

Finishing a Task checks it off and moves on. There are no badges and no leaderboards, and the small flourish on the check turns down in Settings › Appearance.

Nothing nags.

A Reminder goes off once, before a Task is Due, and then it stops. Emails stay off until you turn them on, and Overdue is a section of Today, not a siren.

Nothing is mouse-only.

Anything you do often has a key, the Command palette runs the rest, and the ? sheet lists them all.

Clear the list.

Sign up, press Q and add the first Task.
