Deadline
A deadline-first task manager that breaks large work into daily milestones and continuously shows what should happen next.
Product model
Deadline is built around a planning problem: conventional task managers store deadlines but do not always show the self-imposed milestones needed to reach them.
Each task can have a deadline, milestones, assigned days, an area, labels, and completion state. A deterministic Distribute helper spreads milestones across the remaining days using date math instead of AI.
Views
What’s Next prioritizes today’s work and then surfaces the next pending milestone. Timeline shows a 14-day schedule, Board groups work into deadline-based buckets, and Weekly Planning helps find upcoming tasks that still need to be broken down.
The default persistence layer is localStorage, with optional Upstash Redis or Vercel KV sync. The product also supports an optional passcode lock, PWA installation, and an offline-friendly shell.
