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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- Open a Do that's filed in a Day or Month slot, and check Pin Do.
- Choose how often it repeats — days or weeks for a Day slot, months for a Month slot.
- 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.
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.
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.
Getting around
Board, Archive, and Projects live in the sidebar — the same three 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 your profile — pick what's easiest on your eyes and leave the rest to pushpindo.
