About My Todo
My Todo is a browser-based task management application built around the idea that productivity tools should stay out of the way while keeping you on track. It runs entirely in your web browser with no account creation required, storing everything locally so there's nothing to sign up for and no data leaving your machine. The interface floats above your other work, letting you manage tasks and track time without constantly switching windows or tabs. For anyone who's felt overwhelmed by feature-heavy project management software that demands more attention than the work itself, this stripped-down approach offers a refreshing alternative that focuses on what actually matters. The philosophy here is that productivity software should be invisible infrastructure, not another thing competing for your attention throughout the day.
The application centers on a Kanban board interface where you can organize tasks visually and move them between columns using drag-and-drop. You'll see your work laid out in stages, making it easy to understand what's pending, what's in progress, and what's complete at a glance. The column structure creates natural workflow states without requiring elaborate configuration or methodology training. You can adapt the board to match how you actually work rather than conforming to someone else's productivity framework. The floating design means the app can stay visible while you're working on other things, serving as a persistent reminder of your current priorities without demanding a dedicated browser tab or application window that gets lost in the shuffle. This visibility helps you maintain awareness of what needs attention without the context switches that fragment focused work.
Time tracking integrates directly into the workflow through a focus timer and Picture-in-Picture stopwatch. You can start timing a task and then minimize the stopwatch to a small overlay that remains visible while you work in other applications, tracking how long you spend without interrupting what you're doing. This combination of task management and time awareness helps establish work rhythms and provides accountability without requiring manual logging that feels like administrative overhead. Knowing the clock is running can create just enough urgency to stay on task, while the recorded durations help you understand where your time actually goes. The progress tracking features let you see how much you've accomplished over time, which can be motivating when it feels like you're spinning your wheels and provides data for realistic future planning.
The target audience is anyone looking for a simple productivity system without the friction of onboarding, subscriptions, or learning curves that seem designed to justify complexity rather than serve users. Freelancers tracking billable hours can log time directly alongside their task lists without switching between tools. Students managing assignments can see everything due without wrestling with elaborate project structures. Remote workers trying to stay focused at home can use the floating interface to maintain accountability when supervision is self-directed. Anyone who just wants a digital to-do list that doesn't require a tutorial will find something useful here. The local storage approach means your task data stays private by default, which matters for people cautious about putting their personal productivity information in someone else's cloud where it might feed advertising profiles or get caught in data breaches.
What distinguishes My Todo from the countless other task apps available is the commitment to simplicity as a feature rather than a limitation. There's no premium tier waiting to unlock advanced functionality that makes the free version feel artificially constrained. There are no team collaboration features pushing you toward organizational accounts and per-seat pricing. There's no AI assistant trying to reorganize your priorities based on algorithmic assumptions about what matters. The Kanban board does what Kanban boards do, reliably and predictably. The timer does what timers do, without gamification or social features. Everything works immediately in the browser without plugins, downloads, or compatibility concerns. This restraint represents a deliberate design choice for users who want their tools to be invisible rather than impressive, to solve problems rather than create new ones.
The application is completely free with no pricing tiers, hidden costs, or future monetization plans lurking behind the current offer. It works on any operating system with a modern web browser that supports JavaScript and HTML5, which covers essentially every computer and mobile device in active use today. Because data lives in browser local storage, you'll want to use the same browser consistently to maintain your task history, and clearing browser data will reset your lists. For straightforward task tracking that respects your attention and your privacy while staying accessible whenever you need it, My Todo delivers exactly what its name promises without any extra baggage or expansion into adjacent problem spaces. Sometimes the best tool is the one that does one thing well and then gets out of the way, and that's precisely the role this application fills in a crowded productivity landscape.
