Daily To-Do

The Problem

Every to-do app I've tried either buries me in projects and tags, or lets an unfinished list quietly reset overnight — so the three things that actually mattered yesterday just vanish. I wanted something closer to a daily worksheet: pick three priorities, work the rest of the list around them, and have anything unfinished show back up on top the next morning without retyping it.

The Approach

A static HTML/CSS/JS front end backed by a single PHP script and a JSON file — same pattern as Habit Tracker, Reading List, and Time Block, and it shares Time Block's login so one password covers both. The model is deliberately simple: there's no "priority" flag anywhere in the data, just array position — the first three items are the day's priorities, everything else falls below the line. That one rule does double duty: unfinished items carry over to the next day in their original order, so a priority that got finished naturally lets a lower item slide up to take its place. Every item is a live, editable text field with a small × to delete it, plus up/down arrows to reprioritize by hand. Checking off the third priority triggers a confetti burst; a date-range export, tucked behind its own toggle button to keep the main view uncluttered, downloads a CSV split into completed and not-completed items per day.

Three priorities above the line, everything else below — reorder with the arrows, delete with the ×.

Export stays out of the way until you need it — pick a range and download a CSV split into completed and not-completed items.

The Result

A to-do list that resets itself every morning without losing anything — what I didn't get to yesterday is just there again, at the top, instead of buried in an app I have to dig through.
