The simplest browser-based task tracker — no signup required to start. One task store, three views: Kanban (drag-and-drop daily flow), List (sortable bulk grooming), Matrix (2×2 impact-vs-effort prioritisation). Four status lanes (Backlog · Today · Doing · Done), tags, projects, and live filters. Sign in with Google to sync across devices. Built for founders, solo founders, and one-person teams. AI-friendly schema. We never email you.
The 4-step daily Kanban routine
Same routine every day. Takes 5 minutes in the morning, 1 minute in the evening, and rebuilds itself as fast as your priorities change.
Brain-dump into Backlog
Type anything you might do — features, fixes, content, ops chores. Don't prioritise yet; just empty the queue out of your head and onto the board.
Promote 3–5 to Today
Be ruthlessly small. Most founders overload "Today" with 12 items, ship 3, and feel terrible. Drag exactly what you can realistically finish.
Move to Doing as you start
One thing in Doing at a time is the rule. The "Doing" column is your active-context indicator — keep it short and the day stays focused.
Done at end of day
Sweep finished work into Done. The completion percentage updates live. Archive Done at the end of the week — the matrix is for strategy; this board is for the day.
The strategy ↔ execution bridge
Most founders treat strategy and execution as two separate worlds. They live in two different apps, get out of sync, and slowly diverge. This tracker is glued to the Impact-Effort Matrix so they stay one thing.
Strategy → execution, one click
Click Import from Matrix. Your Quick Wins, Major Projects, even Fill-Ins are listed with impact + effort scores. Tick the ones you'll actually start this week and they land in Backlog with the scores already filled.
Daily todos with strategic context
Every imported card shows its impact and effort scores plus its quadrant (Quick Win / Major Project / Fill-In / Time Waster). You can't hide from the data — if a "Today" card is a Time Waster, the badge is right there.
Promote tactical work back to strategy
Tasks that come up day-to-day can be sent back to the matrix in one click from the edit modal. The matrix becomes a living document of everything in flight, not a frozen quarterly plan.
Same account, both tools, both directions
Sign in once. The todo tracker, the impact-effort matrix, the directory submission tracker, and the focus timer all share your Codersera account — no per-tool signup gauntlet.
Four reasons this board ships more than a list
Lanes that match how brains actually plan
Most todo apps give you one flat list. Real prioritisation is two-step: "is this something I might do?" (Backlog) → "will I do it today?" (Today). Splitting those two questions is what kills overwhelm.
Drag-and-drop, not click-deep menus
Dragging a card from Backlog to Today is a 0.5-second motor action that triggers a real commitment in your head. Tapping a "status" dropdown three menus deep doesn't.
A Done column you can see
Visible "Done" is the difference between feeling productive and feeling defeated. The completion-rate stat updates live; the Done column fills up; the score climbs as you ship.
No notifications, no streaks, no shame loops
We don't send emails. We don't guilt you with streaks. We don't track your "focus time" for some leaderboard. Open the tool when you need it; close it when you don't.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Codersera Todo Tracker really free, and do I need to sign up?
Yes — completely free, no signup required. Open the page and start tracking tasks instantly. Your data saves to your browser via IndexedDB. Sign in with Google only if you want your todos to sync across devices. We never charge, never email you, and never run ads.
What's the simplest browser-based task tracker for one-person teams?
The Codersera Todo Tracker is designed for exactly that. No accounts to manage, no team-feature bloat, no notifications. Two views (Kanban + List), tags, projects, status lanes. Founders and solo founders can have it open in a tab and run their entire day from it.
How is this different from other free todo apps?
Three things. (1) Two views — Kanban for drag-and-drop daily planning, List for browsing and editing. (2) It pairs bidirectionally with the Codersera Impact-Effort Matrix so daily todos and strategic priorities stay in sync. (3) Genuinely no signup or email gate — most "free" todo apps make you create an account before you can add a single task.
Does the todo tracker sync with the Impact-Effort Matrix?
Yes — both ways. Edit a linked todo here and the matrix entry updates. Move a matrix task to a different position and the linked todo updates with the new impact and effort scores. Use "Import from Matrix" to pull tasks (with scores already filled), or "Send to matrix" inside any todo to push it the other way.
Can I filter by project and tags?
Yes. Every todo can have an optional project (free text, autocompletes from your existing projects) and up to 8 tags. The filter bar above the board lets you pick a project, multi-select tags, narrow by status, or full-text search across title / notes / tags / project. Filters apply to both Kanban and List views.
Does it have a list view in addition to Kanban?
Yes. Toggle between Kanban and List from the filter bar. List view shows todos in one column with checkbox, project chip, tag chips, status picker, and impact/effort scores. Sortable by Recent, Created, Status, Impact, or Project. Use Kanban for planning, List for fast bulk edits.
Is the Codersera Todo Tracker AI-friendly?
Yes. All task data is stored as clean JSON (id, title, status, impact, effort, project, tags, notes, timestamps) — both client-side via IndexedDB and server-side via the /api/todo-tracker endpoint. AI agents and scripts that need to read or write your todos can consume the schema directly. We never feed your data to model training.
Is my data private?
Yes. Anonymous users save to IndexedDB on their own browser — nothing leaves the device. Signed-in users' boards are stored in Codersera's database, scoped to their Google account. We never email you, never share or sell data, and never use it to train models.
How many todos can I have?
Up to 500 active todos. Past that, archive your Done items and prune Backlog — the meaningful prioritisation is in your top 50, not your top 500.
Does drag-and-drop work on mobile?
HTML5 drag-and-drop is desktop-first. On mobile, switch to List view (status picker per row works the same in two taps as a drag) or tap a card to open the edit modal and use the lane picker. Same outcome, no flaky touch DnD.
Why no due dates, reminders, or notifications?
Because most todos don't have a real due date — they have an arbitrary deadline you assigned yourself, which then becomes a guilt trigger when you miss it. The discipline of "what's actually for today" is the whole point of the Today lane. If you need calendar reminders, use a calendar.
What does the bidirectional sync actually mean?
When you change a linked task in either tool — title, impact score, effort score, notes — the change is written through to the other store too. Each store skips the write if nothing relevant changed, so there are no infinite-loop issues. Deletions are NOT propagated; if you want to remove from both, delete in each tool.
Open the board. Drag a thing. Ship a thing.
Five minutes with the matrix, five with the board. By 10am you know exactly what you're doing today — and why.
