Just what matters now. • Structure your way - Group by project or theme—TaskBeacon adapts to how you think. • Ready when you are - Hide tasks that aren’t ready. Work with less distraction. • Filter with purpose - See what’s relevant—work, weekend, personal—with a tap. • Your tasks, your data - Download your full task history any time. No lock-in.
