Nothing here is ever "overdue." ProgressCove is the to-do app that never guilts you. A task with a date that passed is simply ongoing. No red, no badges, no pile-up. Dates are optional. Your pace is the right pace. A home for everything. Life areas hold projects. Projects hold tasks. Tasks break into subtasks. Onboarding builds your structure with you in about a minute, or skip it and use a plain simple list. It grows when you're ready. Progress you can see. Complete small things and watch progress bars fill. Your closest-to-finished work floats to the top, so you always know where to start. We count what's done, never what's looming. No streaks to lose. Never carry it all alone. One subscription covers your whole household. Share the groceries and the chores with full editing for everyone, while everything you don't share stays private. See who grabbed the milk. Calm by design. No shouting, no nagging, no hustle. A quiet today view, gentle reminders, and a to-do list that's on your side. Your data is yours. Everything you type is encrypted at rest on our servers, exportable anytime. Never locked in. Free for 14 days with everything unlocked, no card needed. Then $4.99/month or $39.99/year for the whole household. Progress over perfection. Always.
