Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my data stored?

All tasks and settings are stored locally in your browser's storage using modern web storage APIs. Nothing is uploaded to any server or cloud service. This means your data is completely private and secure, but is tied to the specific browser you use on your device.

Will I lose my tasks if I clear my browser data?

Yes. Since data is stored in your browser's local storage, clearing browser data or cookies will remove your saved tasks. Consider completing or noting important tasks before clearing browser data.

Important: Make sure to complete or back up important tasks before performing browser maintenance that clears stored data.

Can I use this on multiple devices?

Each device maintains its own separate task list. Tasks created on one device will not appear on another device because all data is stored locally in each browser. This is a trade-off for complete privacy and no account requirements.

Is there a limit to how many tasks I can add?

There is no hard limit imposed by the tool. The application is designed to handle large task lists efficiently with optimized rendering and filtering. However, extremely large lists (thousands of tasks) may affect browser performance depending on your device's capabilities.

How do I edit a task?

Hover over any task to reveal the edit (pen) and delete (trash) buttons on the right side. Click the pen icon to enter edit mode, where you can change:

Task text and description
Priority level (None, Low, Medium, High)
Due date
Category assignment

Click Save to apply your changes or Cancel to discard them.

Can I create custom categories?

Yes. Open the category dropdown in the add task form and select "+ New Category". You can:

Name your category anything you want
Choose from 8 available colors for visual distinction
Create unlimited custom categories
Use categories alongside the 4 default ones (Personal, Work, Shopping, Health)

What does the colored number badge mean?

The numbered badge on the right side of each task shows its position in the current list view. The badge color corresponds to the task's priority level:

Red - High priority tasks
Orange - Medium priority tasks
Blue - Low priority tasks
Gray - No priority assigned

This provides quick visual identification of task importance while browsing your list.
