Daily focus — ★ the most important task of the day

Task lists grow; the day stays a few hours long. The daily focus is one small rule: one most important task for today and one for tomorrow. The app won't let you mark more — and that is exactly why it works.

The chosen task floats to the top of its section with an amber badge.

How it's used

  • The ★ star sits in every row's quick actions — in My day, in the task table, on Kanban cards and on the phone.
  • A tap opens a small picker — "Most important on…" — with Today / Tomorrow (and Remove the mark when the task already has it). The confirmation reads "Marked as the most important for today."
  • The chosen task carries a top today / top tomorrow badge and floats to the top of its section.
  • Starring a different task simply replaces the previous choice — a "priority list" can never grow out of it.
A tap on the ★ — one question, two answers. Nothing more.

Deadline × plan × focus

Three different things that get mixed up — and deliberately never affect each other:

What it isWho sees it
DeadlineThe commitment when it must be done. The whole team sees it, but an existing deadline is changed only by its assigner (whoever set it first) or the project owner — everyone else can propose a new date and the assigner approves or declines. A deadline is an agreement, not a private note.The whole team.
Plan (Today / Tomorrow / Next week)Your own "when I want to deal with it". The app says it outright: "The deadline doesn't change — that is edited in the detail."Only you.
Focus ★The one most important thing of the day.Only you.

What happens by itself

  • Tomorrow's star becomes today's in the morning.
  • Old choices expire on their own — the key is the date; there is nothing to clean up.
  • The choice is saved to your account: the phone and the computer show the same star.

Why it isn't a "priority" field

Priority as a permanent task property ends with half the list marked "high". Focus is a personal choice for one specific day — it dies with the day and wants to be made again. Ten seconds every morning that sort out the whole day.
