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?
