todometer

todometer is an open-source desktop app that provides a meter-based approach to task management. The application functions as a desktop tool for organizing daily activities and tracking completion progress through a visual interface. It is built using the Electron framework and React, which allows the software to be distributed and run across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

Users manage their tasks through a central list where items can be tracked, paused, or modified. The software includes a companion web clipper for browsers, which allows users to send new tasks directly to the desktop application with a single click. This integration bridges the gap between web browsing and local task organization, ensuring that items found online can be quickly added to the daily queue without manual entry.

Key features

• Add, complete, pause, and delete to-do items
• Drag and drop functionality to reorder items or move them between groups
• Daily auto-reset with optional notifications and reminders
• Settings drawer for notification preferences and display options
• Configurable data vault location to move the database
• Local REST API and MCP server for external integrations
• Protocol handler for adding tasks via specific URLs

The application is designed for users who prefer a local task manager with high extensibility. By providing a local REST API and an MCP server, todometer enables users to control their lists via external scripts, system shortcuts, or AI assistants. The inclusion of a protocol handler allows the software to receive data from other applications through specific URL schemes, making it a flexible hub for productivity automation. Users can also customize the behavior of the daily reset and manage where their data is stored on the local disk.

todometer serves as a lightweight utility for individuals seeking a local, customizable to-do list that supports automation and external integrations.
