Call grandma

“She won’t be around forever.”

15 min

A to-do list that answers one question: what do I do today?

A list of forty things doesn't tell you where to start. Täna does. You tell it what needs doing, and it works out the rest: which day, in what order, and why.

You write the task. Täna picks the day.

Type it the way you'd say it out loud: “Pay rent by Friday, 10 min, important”. Täna catches the deadline, the ten minutes and the fact that it matters, and finds it a day. It plans all your days like this, and plans them again whenever something changes. You never have to approve anything. If you wonder why a task ended up on Thursday, open it and it tells you.

Best day

Planned for today. Tomorrow is full, so it comes earlier.

One thing at a time.

The next task fills the screen, with the reason it's next. You don't get a list of twelve, or a count of what's left. The rest of the day is one scroll down, if you want to look.

It learns from your days.

Every morning Täna asks how yesterday went. You tick what got done, and it learns how much really fits in one of your days. Then it plans to that, instead of packing a Tuesday with nine hours of tasks.

It remembers why.

Next to a task, write why it matters to you. If four hours go by without a tick, Täna puts your own words under it. It's harder to put off calling grandma when you've written “she won't be around forever”. Goals work the same way. Give one a target and you'll see how close you are, and nothing nags you if you fall behind.

Finishing things feels good.

Tick a task and a little gold leaf falls. Finish the day and it falls across the whole screen. You can try it at the top of this page. Grandma would like a call anyway.
