  • Fast quick-entry form with live quadrant preview
  • Important and Urgent as the source of truth for quadrant placement
  • Desktop drag-and-drop plus accessible move controls for every matrix card
  • Daily Focus section for urgent, overdue, scheduled, and suggested important work

Task data stays in this browser by default.

IndexedDB is the primary storage layer, with localStorage fallback.

Export/import JSON is included for backups, portability, and migration testing.

Honest limitation

The demo can be installed as a PWA from the Foundation Base URL.

Questions people ask

Where is task data stored?

Task data is stored locally in IndexedDB by default, with a localStorage fallback and JSON export/import for portability.

Can I move tasks without drag and drop?

Yes. Every task card includes accessible move controls, and the detail drawer can change the task quadrant directly.

Does this require accounts or a backend?

No. Version one is a local-first individual app with no required backend, accounts, payments, or cloud sync.
