What is the To-Do List?
The To-Do List is a simple, private task management tool. It allows users to add, edit, complete, and delete tasks. All data entered into the list is stored securely and privately in the user's browser using localStorage, meaning the tasks are never sent to a server and are available for the user when they return to the page.
History of this Feature
The simple to-do list is one of the oldest and most effective productivity methods. With the advent of the web, countless to-do list applications were created, many of them requiring accounts, subscriptions, and storing user data in the cloud. Our To-Do List was created as a back-to-basics, privacy-first alternative. It provides the core functionality of a task manager without any of the overhead, making it a fast, simple, and secure way to keep track of daily tasks.
Who Commonly Uses This Feature?
This tool is used by anyone who needs a quick and simple way to organize their tasks. It's great for students tracking homework assignments, professionals managing their daily work items, and anyone who wants to jot down a quick list of errands or goals without the commitment of a full-fledged project management application.
