Built for Software Engineers

Task Management Built for Software Engineers

Deep work is your most valuable asset. todovo.io is built around protecting it — keyboard-first navigation, instant task switching, quick notes on the side, and zero friction between you and the thing you're trying to build.

The real cost of context switching

Interrupted before you reach flow

It takes 23 minutes to fully regain focus after an interruption. Between Slack, standups, and PR reviews, most engineers never get there at all.

Context switching is expensive

Every tab-switch, tool-switch, and notification costs you working memory. Your brain is full before you've written a single line of code.

Started 10 things, shipped nothing

You've got four branches open, three Jira tickets in progress, and two Slack threads half-answered. By 3pm it all blurs together into a low-grade sense of failure.

No personal system alongside team tools

Jira is for the team. Notion is for the docs. Your own daily priorities — what you need to tackle today — have no home.

A system built around how engineers actually work

No sprints, no burn-down charts. Just a personal daily system that gets out of your way.

Plan once in the morning, then go

The day planner shows you everything — overdue, due today, this week, unscheduled. Pick 3–5 tasks. Drag them into your daily focus. One decision in the morning eliminates all future decision fatigue.

Board view: your workspace, your flow

The board view keeps your current task front and center — but switching is instant. Press Ctrl+1/2/3 to jump between tasks. Need to jot something down? Open quick notes on the side without losing your place. Everything stays keyboard-first.

Cmd+K for everything else

Need to create a task, find an old note, or jump to a ticket by number? Press Cmd+K. The command palette handles it in one keystroke. No mouse. No navigation. Back to work in under three seconds.

End the day with a summary, not a question mark

The daily summary shows what you completed, what's still open, and what you accomplished this week. No more end-of-day blur. You'll know exactly what you shipped — even if your standup is first thing tomorrow.

The editor is your scratchpad, spec, and tracker — in one

Every task is a rich document. Write implementation notes, break work into subtasks with /subtask, link a blocked-by dependency, attach a PDF spec, set a due date. All inline, all in one place.

  • Slash commands: /subtask, /blocked-by, /due-date, /note
  • Subtasks with checkboxes — no separate list required
  • Blocked-by relationships between tickets
  • File attachment (images, PDFs) directly in the editor
  • Auto-save — never lose a thought

Quick reference IDs

Every task gets a short ID like #1023. Type it in the command palette to jump there instantly. Useful in standup, in PRs, and in Slack threads.

Real-time sync across tabs

Open todovo.io on two monitors. Updates appear live in both — no refresh, no merge conflicts in your task list.

Works alongside Jira and Linear

todovo.io is your personal layer — not a replacement for team tools. Use it to manage what you are working on today, while the team tracks the broader sprint.
