Taskpad is a card-based daily planner. **Build your day with cards** Tasks and habits come together as cards, giving you a clear view of your day. Drag to reorder them and decide what matters most. Simple, flexible, and easy to follow. **Not ready? Move it to Later** Not everything belongs today. Drag it to Later — it won't get lost, and it won't keep nagging you. **Focus when you need it** Swipe a card to start a focus timer. Helps you settle into one thing, without turning your whole day into a countdown. Search, reminders, and widgets are there, quietly supporting you in the background. Taskpad isn't about finishing everything. It's about finishing what matters today. Most of Taskpad is available for free. Taskpad Pro is optional, with monthly, annual, or lifetime plans for those who want a little more. Terms of Use: https://taskpad.webflow.io Privacy Policy: https://taskpad.webflow.io/privacy-policy
