The app is organized into four sections:

• Focus: pinned tasks for your highest priorities. Not draggable. Limit: 1–3 (configurable, default 3).
• Active Tasks: your working list for the day. Limit: 1–10 (configurable, default 7).
• Carried Over: tasks brought forward from a previous day. Limit: 1–5 (configurable, default 3), capped at the active task limit.
• Completed Tasks: tasks you have finished.

Use the input field at the top to add a new task. An optional description field is available for extra detail. A Quick Focus button lets you add a task directly into the Focus section without extra steps.

Each task supports the following actions:

• Focus / Unfocus: pin a task to the Focus section (star icon). Unfocusing moves the task back to Active.
• Complete / Undo: check off a task to move it to Completed. Click again to move it back to Active.
• Edit: inline editing for both the task title and description.
• Carry Over / Move to Active: available via the overflow menu on active and carried-over tasks.
• Delete: permanently removes the task.

Tasks can be dragged to reorder within a section or moved between Active, Carried Over, and Completed zones. Section limits are enforced on drop, so if a zone is full, the drop is rejected. Focused tasks are fixed and cannot be dragged.

When you open the app on a new day (based on a configurable day boundary, default 3:00 AM), a modal appears. The behavior depends on how much time has passed and whether you have unfinished tasks:

• Greeting mode: no leftover tasks. Shows a motivational message and a "Let's go" button.
• Review mode (1–6 days passed, tasks remain): review each task one at a time. For every unfinished task, choose to carry it over, mark it complete, or abandon it. A carry-over counter tracks how many you are keeping. All tasks must be resolved before continuing.
• Auto-abandon mode (7+ days passed, tasks remain): all old tasks are cleared automatically. Click "Start fresh" to begin.

Open the settings modal to configure:

Toast messages appear and auto-dismiss when a section limit is violated, for example when drag-and-drop, unfocusing, or restoring a task would exceed the active task limit.

All tasks and settings are saved to localStorage. No account or network connection is needed.
