Getting Started
TaskSpot is a simple daily task tracker. Here's how to get up and running.
Sign up or sign in
Visit the signup page to create a free account. No credit card required. If you already have an account, use the sign in page. For extra account protection, you can enable two-factor authentication anytime in Settings → Security (after signing in).
Create your first task
After signing in, you'll land on the Today view. Use the task form at the top to add a task. Type the title, optionally add a description, set a priority (None, Low, Medium, High), and choose a due date. Click Add or press Enter to save.
Understanding the views
TaskSpot organizes tasks into simple views. Use the sidebar to switch between them:
- Today — Tasks due today or overdue. Your main focus for the day.
- Tomorrow — Tasks due tomorrow. Plan ahead without cluttering today.
- Upcoming — Tasks scheduled for future dates. Use the calendar picker to set any date.
- Backlog — Tasks without a due date. Capture ideas and move them to Today or Tomorrow when ready.
- Done — Completed tasks. Review what you accomplished. A link at the bottom takes you to Deleted tasks.
- Deleted — Soft-deleted tasks. Access from the Done view. Recover them within 7 days before permanent deletion.
Priorities and due dates
Set a priority (None, Low, Medium, High) to visually highlight important tasks. Use the due date dropdown to assign Today, Tomorrow, or pick a custom date from the calendar. You can change both at any time from the task card.
