I implemented it as a desktop software, it's available for Linux and Windows, it keeps your personal data on your local computer, no cloud communication, FLOSS.
The most simple but one of the most effective tricks I learned from an "old sweat" when I was a green junior dev just starting out... keep a folder called notes, and each day create a date-numbered file in the format YYYYMMDD.txt. Put any code snippets, git links, lessons learned, meeting minutes or basically anything interesting in there each day. Then to access it - you can bash script search, e.g., to find anythin…
I find it easier to follow tasks if I can scroll up a bit to the previous day and see if any tasks are being left undone for a couple days. I can just drop that task if I realize it's not important, but having it right there in front of me is very useful I've found.
I use https://everyday.app as a habit tracker :P It is actually my business. It started as a side-project but I kept working on it and now I make a decent living from it. So I like I can keep tweaking it to adapt to my personal system and feedback I get :p
Is there any plan for an API or an option to export your data? Looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for and I love supporting tiny projects, but it's difficult for me to commit without knowing I can get my data out of it easily.
Also, you can use the API but I haven't publicly documented it! Some people use it to do their own stuff with their data :)

Just installed this app on mine and my partners phone. We've been trying various apps but your app's UX is amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing!
It is a work in progress!
A notebook and pen seems to do the trick. In the beginning of the day, write an entry of what I'll aim to accomplish and when. At the end of the day, judge myself on my productivity and write a plan for the next day. That alone has been a force multiplier of productivity for me Also remembering to have fun and enjoy life always (surprisingly!) seems to help
For a while I hipstered out with a wax tablet*, but these days I'm back to a succession of boring A8 notebooks. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_tablet

(They're dead easy to DIY build, feature instant boot and infinite battery lifetime, and therefore work really nicely for ephemeral data. An anachronistic solution for non-ephemeral is to preserve data via phone snapshot ... I maintain scribing and erasing are both far easier via wax than via app, but I have thumbs from the last century; YMMV)
I use Todoist for my own things, and Trello for collaborative things. I really love Todoist. It's really simple to enter tasks -- extremely low friction with browser extensions and Android widgets, etc. It has all the features I want in a tool like this -- simple tasks, sub tasks, categorization, tagging, attachments, recurring tasks, prioritization, and apps/widgets/integrations galore. And it's free, or cheap for t…
