🧠 OmTeDoen

An ADHD-friendly task manager that thinks the way you do.

OmTeDoen (Afrikaans for "to do") is a native macOS desktop app designed to reduce decision fatigue and keep your focus where it matters — on today.

✨ Features

🎯 Focus-First Design

• 3-Day View — See yesterday, today, and tomorrow at a glance. No overwhelming backlogs.
• Auto-Rollover — Incomplete tasks automatically move to today. No manual shuffling.
• Auto-Parking — Tasks rolled over 3+ times get parked aside so they stop clogging your day.

⚡ Speed & Simplicity

• Single-click editing — Click any task to edit it inline.
• Quick Capture (⌘+Shift+Space) — Instantly add a task without leaving what you're doing.
• Command Palette (⌘+K) — Navigate and act with just your keyboard.
• Priority with hover — Hover over a task and press 1, 2, or 3 to set priority.

🔄 Smart Recurrence

• Natural language scheduling: "Buy milk every monday", "Stand-up daily", "Review goals every 2 weeks"
• Tasks are placed on the next occurrence date automatically.
• When you complete one, the next instance is created.

🎯 Focus Mode

• Toggle from the main toolbar or Settings — no digging through menus.
• Shows only must-do tasks, hiding should/want priorities to reduce overwhelm.
• Keeps the normal light colour scheme — no jarring theme switch.

📋 Multiple Views

🏷️ Priority System

• 🔴 Must — Non-negotiable tasks
• 🟡 Should — Important but flexible
• 🔵 Want — Nice-to-have

💾 Data Safety

• Tasks are stored in a local SQLite database that persists across app updates.
• Export Backup — download all tasks as JSON from Settings before updating.
• Storage indicator in Settings confirms whether your data is persistent.

🗺 Roadmap

• iCloud sync across devices
• Native notifications & reminders
• Task notes with rich markdown
• Search across all tasks
• Import from JSON backup
• Menu bar widget for quick-add
