Get started in three steps
Every use case starts the same way — a project, a few tasks, and the Today view.
Create a project
Give each area of your life its own project — courses, clients, or chores.
Add tasks with dates
Every task gets a due date and a reminder, so deadlines surface themselves.
Start with Today
The Today view shows only what matters right now. The Plan view lays out the week.

A paper list
- You must remember to check the list
- Rewrite the same list every week

- Only exists where the paper is

Frequently asked questions
What is a todo list used for?
A todo list captures everything you need to do so you can stop holding it in your head. Dotask.it goes further by organizing tasks into projects, tracking habits, and scheduling reminders.
Who uses task organizers?
Students, professionals, freelancers, small teams, parents, and creators — anyone who juggles more than a handful of tasks and wants one reliable place to manage them.
Is a todo list the same as a task manager?
A todo list is the basic idea — a list of things to do. A task manager adds structure: priorities, due dates, projects, recurring tasks, and reminders. Dotask.it is a task manager that still feels like a simple todo list.
