Next Seven

A minimal seven-day task planner. The app displays the current day and the six days ahead, each expandable to reveal tasks you want to get done that day. Status is visible at a glance through subtle color cues. Orange means something is still in progress. Green means the day is complete. Nothing more complicated than that. Everything stays local on your device. Your tasks are always available, even offline, and nothing is tracked or synced in the background. The app quietly handles time for you. Each midnight, the view rolls forward automatically. Old days disappear so you only see what is relevant now. A small notes space is available when you need to quickly capture thoughts that do not belong to a specific day. It stays out of the way until you open it. This is a planner that avoids pressure. It does not try to manage your life. It just holds your next steps clearly, and gets out of the way.
