Push notifications aren't set up on this server yet. Ask whoever runs it to configure a VAPID keypair.

Get a once-a-day update on your Do Now queue, anything due today, anything stale, and anything pending today — even when Pushpindo isn't open.

Notifications couldn't be enabled on this device.

Brave blocks Google's push notification service by default. To fix it:

  1. Go to brave://settings/privacy
  2. Turn on "Use Google services for push messaging"
  3. Reload this page and click Enable notifications again

This is usually one of the following:

  • An ad blocker or privacy extension is blocking the push service — try disabling it for this site
  • A restrictive network or firewall is blocking Google's (Chrome/Edge/Brave) or Mozilla's (Firefox) push relay
  • Using Brave? Turn on "Use Google services for push messaging" in brave://settings/privacy

Notifications are currently blocked for this site in your browser. To turn them on:

  • Chrome / Edge (desktop & Android): tap the lock icon in the address bar → Site settings → Notifications → Allow
  • Firefox: click the lock icon in the address bar → Permissions → clear the blocked Notifications setting
  • Safari (Mac): Safari → Settings → Websites → Notifications → find this site → Allow
  • Safari (iPhone/iPad): notifications only work once this is added to your Home Screen — tap Share → Add to Home Screen, then open it from there and enable notifications

pushpindo — user guide

A tickler file for the way you actually work.

Every Do lives in exactly one place — Do Now, a day, a month, or a year — so your whole workload fits on one board without turning into a wall of overdue red.

— pulled forward when it's time, refiled when it's not —
01

How the board is organized

pushpindo is built on the 43-folders idea: instead of due dates competing for attention, every task — a Do — gets filed into exactly one slot. You only ever look at what's due to come up, not everything you'll ever have to do.

Do Now

Your active inbox, split into High / Medium / Low so today's list stays honest about what actually matters. Drag a Do between sections to change its urgency.

Do Next

A second staging list next to Do Now, for what's coming right up without crowding today's list. No priority split here — just a plain queue.

Days

31 slots, one per day-of-month. File something under "the 12th" and it resurfaces whichever month rolls around next.

Months

12 slots, one per month, for anything scheduled by month rather than day.

Years

The current year and a few ahead, for things that are genuinely that far out.

The calendar

A rolling two-month view sits below Years. Click a date to jump straight to its matching Day slot.

Why this works

A physical tickler file doesn't nag you about things three weeks away — it just isn't time to pull that card yet. pushpindo works the same way: today and this month are highlighted so you always know where "now" is, and everything else waits quietly in its slot.

02

Working with a Do

  • Create one — tap New Do, give it a title (notes are optional), and pick a bucket. New Dos default to Do Now.
  • Move one — drag it to another column or slot on desktop, or long-press it and pick a bucket from the sheet on mobile.
  • Edit one — tap the card, or its edit icon, to go straight into edit mode.
  • Finish one — the checkbox closes it out and sends it to the Archive. No ceremony.
  • Delete one — for when it shouldn't have existed at all, rather than having been done.

In Do Now, priority is more than a label:

  • High — needs doing today.
  • Medium — the default for anything new.
  • Low — fine to sit for a bit.

Everything you finish stays visible — open the Archive from the sidebar to browse it, newest first.

03

Pinning — for the Dos that repeat

Some Dos aren't one-off — pay rent, water the plants, renew the passport. Pinning turns a Do sitting in a Day or Month slot into a recurring one, without you having to remember to recreate it.

  1. Open a Do that's filed in a Day or Month slot, and check Pin Do.
  2. Choose how often it repeats — days or weeks for a Day slot, months for a Month slot.
  3. Leave it. When its time comes and you drag it into Do Now or Do Next, pushpindo files a fresh copy into its next slot automatically, and clears the pin from the one you're about to act on — that one's now just a normal Do to finish.
Moving it elsewhere

Drag a pinned Do to a different Day or Month slot instead, and it simply relocates — the pin comes with it. If you move it somewhere its interval no longer makes sense (a days/weeks pin into a Month slot, say), the pin quietly clears rather than doing something wrong with it.

04

Categories & Projects

Categories are colored tags — add one or more to any Do, and a colored bar shows on the card's edge so you can spot it at a glance across every bucket.

Projects are categories with one extra flag checked. Use them for a run of related Dos — a series of steps toward something bigger — that you want to see as a connected set, regardless of which Day, Month, or Do Now/Next slot each one actually lives in.

  • Check "Also a project" when creating a new category, or flip it on an existing one later from Manage categories in the Projects screen.
  • Open Projects from the sidebar to see every category you've flagged, each with a count of how many Dos it holds.
  • Inside a project, drag its Dos into whatever order makes sense — that's a separate sequence from anything to do with buckets or priority.
  • Tap a Do from inside a project to edit it or move it, without leaving the project view.
  • Toggle Show completed to see finished Dos in the set too, alongside what's still open.
05

Shopping lists

Shopping keeps a separate set of lists from your Dos — for the actual grocery run, not the tickler file. Open Shopping from the sidebar to get to it.

  • Multiple lists — keep separate lists for different shops or trips, and switch between them from the list picker.
  • Auto-categorization — add "milk" and pushpindo files it under Dairy automatically, going by what you've bought before.
  • Your own catalog — everything you've ever added builds a personal, autocompleting item list, so typing gets faster the more you use it.
  • Custom categories — rename or add your own aisle categories if the defaults don't match how your store's laid out.
  • Sharing — share a list with a collaborator and it stays in sync between you both while it's open.
06

Due dates

Any Do can carry a due date, independent of whichever bucket it's actually filed in — set one from a Do's edit screen.

Open Due from the sidebar to see every open Do with a due date, soonest first, regardless of where it lives on the board.

07

Notifications & the desktop timer

Two ways to stay on top of things outside the board itself, both set up from your profile:

  • Push notifications — turn these on to get reminders for Dos, delivered straight to your device or browser.
  • Desktop access — generate an API token to connect the pushpindo desktop timer, for tracking focused time against a Do without needing the browser open.
08

Devices & collaborators

Paired devices — pair a watch or other companion device without ever typing your password there. Open pushpindo on the device, tap Register, and enter the code it shows you back in your profile. On a phone or browser that's already logged in, skip the code entirely — open Profile and tap Register this device to stop it asking for your password from then on.

Collaborators — add someone by username from your profile to share shopping lists with them. They'll need to accept before anything's shared, and nobody else on the instance can see your account exists otherwise.

09

Getting around

Board, Archive, Projects, Shopping, and Due all live in the sidebar — the same destinations whether you're on desktop or mobile. On a phone, open the sidebar from the menu icon in the top bar; the board itself switches to swipeable column tabs for Do Now, Days, Months, and Years.

Theme, font size, and layout density are all yours to set from Appearance, reachable from your profile — pick sepia, light, dark, or vibrant, and whatever's easiest on your eyes.

If you're an administrator on this instance, an Admin link also appears in the sidebar for managing users and settings.
