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.

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.
  • Deleted — Soft-deleted tasks. 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.

Keyboard shortcuts

Press ? anytime in the app to see all keyboard shortcuts. Use 15 to jump between views, n for new task, and x to mark a task done. See the full list in our keyboard shortcuts guide.
