Focus Mode
Stop staring at a 200-item inbox. Focus Mode surfaces your three most important tasks each day — and hides everything else until you're done.
Top 3 daily view
Each day, Focus Mode shows exactly three tasks — ranked by due date proximity and your manual priority setting.
Cuts decision fatigue
The #1 reason tasks don't get done is choosing which one to start. Focus Mode makes that choice for you.
Works on Android widgets
Your top 3 focus tasks appear directly on your home screen widget — no need to open the app to know what to work on.
How Focus Mode works
When you switch to Focus Mode, TapTidy scores every incomplete task across all your projects using two signals: how soon it's due (urgency weight) and the priority you've assigned (P1–P4). The top three bubble up — everything else is hidden until you mark one done or dismiss it for the day.
Marking a task complete in Focus Mode is the same as completing it anywhere else. There's no separate "focus list" — just a view filter on your real task data.
Task ranking algorithm
Tasks are scored based on:
- Due date proximity — overdue tasks are always surfaced first
- Priority level — P1 tasks score higher than P2, P3, P4
- Manual pinning — you can pin specific tasks to always appear in Focus
The algorithm runs locally on your device — not on the server. No task content leaves your device for the ranking calculation. On Android, the same ranking logic runs in the native Kotlin app and powers the home screen widget update cycle.
Home screen widget
The TapTidy Android widget shows your current top 3 focus tasks with a quick-add button. Widget data refreshes every ~5 seconds on background sync — you always see an up-to-date view without opening the app.
Tapping a task in the widget opens it directly in the app. Tapping the quick-add button opens the natural language capture input pre-loaded and ready.
Availability
Focus Mode is included in TapTidy Pro and Pro Privacy. It is not available on the Free tier.
