A To Do List That Helps You Forget

Traditional To Do lists feel helpful at first but eventually become burdens. When capturing tasks outpaces our ability to complete them, we find ourselves in a death grip with our tasks, constantly maintaining them instead of focusing on what matters.

TOS is a proof of concept inspired by writing in sand that is gradually erased by the tides. Tasks fade until they naturally disappear after 5 days. Similar to retracing faded writing in the sand to keep it around longer, they can be renewed before disappearing too. This pattern encourages focusing on what matters while remaining flexible to the ebb and flow of reality.

Wonderful things happen when the default is to gently forget.

Log in with GitHub to get started. Drag tasks up and down to renew them. Everything else works the way you'd expect.
