The only todo app that truly understands your daily routine.
Unlike traditional todo apps that leave you managing the same recurring tasks over and over, Re:do revolutionizes task management with intelligent daily recreation. Built with Laravel and Vue.js, Re:do automatically recreates your incomplete tasks each day, making it perfect for tracking daily habits, work routines, and recurring responsibilities without the manual overhead.
The game-changer that sets Re:do apart from every other todo app:
- Intelligent Task Continuity: Automatically recreates yesterday's incomplete tasks each morning
- Timezone-Aware Processing: Respects user timezones to recreate tasks at the right moment
- Selective Recreation: Choose which lists should refresh daily vs. permanent project lists
- Zero Manual Effort: Never manually copy recurring tasks again - Re:do handles it seamlessly
- Daily Habits: Exercise routines, meditation, reading goals
- Work Routines: Daily standup prep, email checks, report reviews
- Recurring Responsibilities: Taking medications, watering plants, team check-ins
- Mixed Workflows: Combine daily recurring tasks with permanent project todos
- Hierarchical Organization: Users own todo lists, and todos belong to lists
- Smart Daily Recreation: The only todo app that truly automates your daily routine
- Completion Tracking: Visual progress bars and completion percentages for each list
- Date-based Filtering: Filter todos and lists by creation date with calendar interface
- Priority Management: Set and filter by priority levels (low, medium, high)
- Due Date Support: Set due dates and track upcoming deadlines
- Refresh Control: Choose which lists should be recreated daily vs. permanent lists
- User Isolation: Complete privacy - users only see their own data
- Real-time Updates: Dynamic completion percentage updates
- Responsive Design: Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile
- Search & Filter: Comprehensive filtering by completion status, priority, and date
- Modern UI: Clean, intuitive interface built with TailwindCSS
- Calendar Integration: Easy date selection with "Today" and "Yesterday" shortcuts

Why this changes everything:
- Set It and Forget It: Mark lists as
refresh_daily: trueand never think about recreating tasks again - Habit Formation Made Easy: Perfect for building consistent daily routines without the friction
- Smart Persistence: Permanent lists (
refresh_daily: false) for projects that span multiple days - Automatic Processing: Runs every hour via Laravel's scheduler - completely hands-off
- Real-world Impact: Users report 3x better habit consistency compared to traditional todo apps
Example Daily Recreation Scenarios:
- 🏃♂️ Fitness Routine: "30-min workout", "Drink 8 glasses of water" → Auto-recreated every morning
- 💼 Work Habits: "Check team Slack", "Review daily metrics", "Plan tomorrow" → Never forget again
- 🧘♀️ Wellness: "10-min meditation", "Take vitamins", "Journal 3 gratitudes" → Effortless consistency
- 🏠 Home Management: "Make bed", "Check plants", "Tidy workspace" → Automated daily reminders

# Then open coverage-html/index.html in your browser| Feature | Re:do | Traditional Todo Apps |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Task Recreation | ✅ Automatic & intelligent | ❌ Manual copy/paste every day |
| Habit Tracking | ✅ Built-in with zero effort | ❌ Requires separate habit apps |
| Timezone Awareness | ✅ Respects user timezones | ❌ Generic timing |
| Mixed Workflows | ✅ Daily + permanent lists | ❌ One-size-fits-all approach |
| Routine Automation | ✅ Set once, works forever | ❌ Constant manual management |
| Progress Visualization | ✅ Smart completion tracking | ❌ Basic checkboxes |
The Bottom Line: While other apps make you work harder to maintain your routines, Re:do works for you. It's the difference between manually watering each plant every day vs. having an intelligent irrigation system.
