MindKit is a lightweight, modular todo and note application. When we're working, studying, or enjoying our daily life, we always focus on many things: - What will I do / learn today? - How many times have you been running / exercising this month? - Am I in good mood today? - I haven't had breakfast for days? - What should I buy next time I go to the supermarket? - How many days is mom's birthday? - Where did you spend all your money this month? - What's the progress of the books you've been reading recently? - How long have you been studying today? - Pay the credit card on the 26th of each month. Keeping todos organized, tracking daily life as well as habits, presenting elegant notes, these are all things MindKit tries to do for you. # Main functions ## Action ### Tasks What do you have to do today / tomorrow / todos? Using task type, you can put different tasks in different types. Suddenly think of a recent thing to do?

About

Progress

Read full description

Progress is a goal tracker and planner with to-do lists, scheduling, and a focus timer. Break down goals, set personal OKRs, organize tasks, plan your studies and work, track reading, and schedule reviews. With a calendar, reminders, recurring check-ins, and a Pomodoro timer, bring structure to goal management, time management, habit building, and project planning. 【Goal Breakdown & Measurable Progress】 Turn big plans into concrete actions with unlimited levels of subgoals. • Unlimited levels: Break goals into projects, phases, and tasks, then divide them further as needed. • Progress roll-up: Subgoal progress automatically updates parent goals. Choose simple average, weighted average, highest progress, or lowest progress to track each phase and the overall plan. • Goal weights: Assign weights to key goals to calculate overall progress. Ideal for personal OKRs and project management. Choose a tracking method for each goal to measure progress and record your focus time. • Completion tracking: Mark tasks as complete when done. • Quantity tracking: For a 100-page reading goal, log the pages you read each time to build progress. • Time tracking: For a 10-hour study goal, use the focus timer or add records manually. • Scheduled activity tracking: For a goal of 3 practice sessions, each completed scheduled activity automatically adds one session to your progress. 【Scheduling & To-Do Lists】 Plan short-term actions for long-term goals. Organize tasks in list, Kanban, or Eisenhower Matrix views, set priorities, and coordinate your time with the calendar timeline. • Scheduling: Schedule activities for goals or create standalone to-dos for study, work, and daily life. • Reminders: Set reminders for goals and activities to keep important plans on track. • Recurrence rules: Plan recurring tasks, daily check-ins, and study reviews with flexible repeat patterns, including Ebbinghaus-based spaced repetition. • Calendar view: See schedules and focus records together to plan around existing commitments. • Eisenhower Matrix: Sort tasks by importance and urgency to decide what comes first. • Kanban view: View tasks in columns for easy browsing and organization. • Flexible sorting: Sort by date, title, priority, and more to quickly find your next task. 【Focus Timer & Time Estimates】 Record your actual focus time and stay on task with the Pomodoro Technique and app blocking. Link sessions to goals to estimate the focus time still needed and plan ahead. • Focus timer: Use a stopwatch or countdown to study, read, or work at your own pace. • Break timer: Alternate focus and rest with the Pomodoro Technique. • Goal linking: Link focus records to goals to track time invested and add progress to time-based goals. • Time estimates: Estimate the focus time needed to reach a goal based on current progress and time already recorded. • App blocking: Block selected apps during focus sessions to reduce distractions. • Calendar timeline: Compare planned activities with actual focus records, review daily time use, and adjust future plans. 【Quick Access & Data Management】 • Widgets: View goal progress and schedules on your Home Screen or desktop. • iCloud sync: View and update plans across devices using the same iCloud account. • Data backup: Save and restore records with local and cloud backups. Whether you are preparing for an exam, completing a course, reading regularly, or finishing a project, start by breaking down your first goal. Turn what you want to do into progress you can see.
