TaskCard is a daily planner built for time blocking. Put your whole day on a visual time grid, drag tasks to reschedule, and get reminders when time is up. PLAN BY TIME Add tasks with a start time and duration. Tasks appear as blocks on a 24-hour grid. Current time is always visible so you know what's now and what's next. DRAG AND DROP Move tasks between time slots. No menus: drag a card to a new time and it reschedules. Overlaps are handled so your plan stays clear. PRIORITY AND REPEAT Set priority (low to urgent) and optional repeat: daily, weekdays, weekly, or custom. Use colors to spot important items at a glance. REMINDERS Turn on notifications and optional alarms so you're reminded when a task starts or when time is up. No more missed blocks. FOCUSED AND SIMPLE No clutter. One main view: the time grid. Create, edit, complete, or reschedule from the same place. TaskCard stays out of your way so you can focus on doing the work. TaskCard is built for anyone who thinks in time blocks: professionals, students, and anyone who wants a clear view of their day.
