It all lands in your head first.
“Reply to Maya. Book the dentist. Review Sam’s pull request. Don’t forget the parcel.”
You know the feeling: five things, none written down. Hit Ctrl + Space and TaskDock slides up from the tray with the cursor already in the box.
Type it the way you would say it. “Call Sam tomorrow 3pm /high #work” becomes a task with a day, a time, a priority and a tag. Press Enter and it is captured, so your head can let go.
QUICK ADD · HOW THE SYNTAX WORKS →
Out of everything, one thing.
“If I only got one thing done today, what would it be?”
Today shows what is overdue, due today, and everything else, in an order that makes sense. Pick the one that matters and make it your current task.
It is pinned at the top of the mini window and never repeated in the list below. There is never a doubt about what is next.
WANT THE WHOLE PICTURE? THE FULL WINDOW HAS TODAY, UPCOMING, PROJECTS, HISTORY, ANALYTICS AND CALENDAR.
Press start. Nothing else.
“Fifty minutes. Just this.”
One click starts a timed session on your current task. Pause it when the phone rings, add five minutes when you are in flow, or finish the task right from the panel.
The timer runs on timestamps, not ticks. Sleep, a crash or a hidden window cannot make it drift, and every session is saved before the screen changes.
FOCUS · HOW SESSIONS WORK →
Then the notification shows up.
“Just a quick look at email.”
Before you start, you can name what usually pulls you away: email, chat, the news. While you focus, that short list sits at the bottom of the window as a quiet reminder. You edit it in place, any time.
It is a nudge, not a wall. TaskDock does not block websites or other apps. If you hide the window and come back mid-session, a gentle re-entry card reminds you what you were doing and lets you continue.
Finished, and the next step is obvious.
“That’s one. What’s next?”
Complete the task while the timer runs and the session ends with it, in one step. Slipped? Undo it. Recurring tasks give you exactly one next occurrence, not a pile of copies.
Every session lands in your focus history, so the morning’s work is there when you want to see it.
End the day kindly.
“Did I actually get anything done?”
You did, and now you can see it. Finished tasks, focus time and sessions are computed from your own data, on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded and nobody is grading you.
Screenshots show the TaskDock interface running in a browser with sample data, made up for illustration. Your own tasks never appear here. Fonts and window chrome differ on Windows.
