My Todo

My Todo is a lightweight productivity app that puts a kanban board and a focus timer in the same browser tab, then lets you pop the timer out so it floats over whatever else you're doing. It's aimed at people who bounce between research, documents, and code and want their task list close without switching windows every few minutes.

The setup is as minimal as it gets. You open the site, start dragging cards, and everything saves to your browser's local storage. There's no account, no login wall, no sync service. That makes it fast to try but also means your data lives on the device you're using. If you clear your browser data or switch machines, your board goes with it.

The kanban side works the way you'd expect. You create tasks, drag them between columns, and mark them done. The differentiator is the timer. It sits at the edge of the board and, when you want to focus, you can pop it out using the Picture-in-Picture API so it floats on top of your other windows. That way you see the countdown without tabbing back to the app, which is useful if you're deep in a document or a video call and want to know when your focus block ends.

It fits anyone who wants a simple task view with time awareness built in. Freelancers tracking billable focus time, students running study blocks, or solo developers splitting a day between shallow work and deep work sessions. It's not trying to replace a full project management suite; it's going after the quick capture, quick timer use case where heavier tools feel like overkill.

What sets it apart is the combination of local-only data and the floating timer. Most browser task apps either push you toward an account so they can sync across devices or skip the timer entirely. My Todo picks the opposite trade: zero friction, zero cloud, and a timer that doesn't disappear when you navigate away.

The app is completely free. There's no paid tier mentioned and no indication of upcoming premium features. Because nothing leaves your browser, there's also no backend cost for the developer to recoup, which probably explains the pricing. If you need cross-device sync or team features, this isn't the tool; if you want a fast scratchpad with a persistent timer, it does exactly that and nothing more.
