A large effort stops being one vague weight on your mind. It becomes a place with its own tasks, a clear shape, and a read on how far you have come. You reach the end, you close it, and it stops following you around.
Anything that takes more than one action is already a project. tingdo gives every project a home for its tasks, and lets you nest sub-projects as deep as the work runs, so a large outcome can break down as far as it needs to without losing the thread.
A project has an end: a clear, bounded outcome you reach, then close. It does not run forever. That is what sets it apart from a context, an open-ended setting for getting work done that never has to finish.
What you get
- A dedicated view per project, with all its tasks in one place.
- Unlimited sub-projects, so a big effort can nest as deep as it needs to.
- A progress bar on every project, for a read on how far along you are at a glance.
- A Markdown export of any project, with a summary alongside its tasks, completed tasks, sub-projects, and reference items.
- Fast filing while you capture, using the
/prefix.
How it works
- Create a project, then add
/projectnameto a task to file it there. - Nest a project under another to mirror how the work breaks down in reality.
- Turn a task into a project when it turns out to need more than one step, so the new detail has somewhere to live.
- Bring existing projects in through import, or export one to Markdown whenever you want a portable overview.
Why it matters
- A project keeps moving when its next step stays connected to its outcome. Lose that thread and the work stalls quietly.
- Seeing a project’s tasks together, with progress at a glance, makes it plain what is next and what has stalled.
- A clean export turns any project into a shareable overview, for a review, a handover, or a record you keep elsewhere.
