Questions, answered quietly.

A deliberately simple task manager built around one idea: today. You just start typing and your task is on the list — no projects, no due dates, no priorities to assign. You can plan as far into the future as you like, but anything you don't finish quietly rolls forward to today. That's the whole nudge behind the name: how about you do it today?

Just start typing — your words become a task, and Enter adds it. Keep going to empty your whole head in a few seconds, without reaching for the mouse.

Click the circle beside a task, or press D. It stays on the day, quietly struck through so you can see what you got done, then clears when the day ends.

You can start a 14-day free trial without a card. An account simply lets your tasks follow you across browsers and devices.

Because organizing is where most to-do lists quietly go to die. People spend more time sorting tasks into projects and assigning priorities than actually doing them. We removed that layer entirely. Stars and four colors give you just enough shape, and nothing to maintain.

An overdue badge is just guilt with a red dot. Unfinished tasks aren't failures — they're simply not done yet. So they move to tomorrow, looking exactly as calm as they did today.

None. No badges, no buzzes, no streaks to protect. How About Today waits for you to open it — it never interrupts your day to demand attention. If you need time-based alarms, a calendar app is the better tool, and the two pair nicely.

They're powerful, and if you genuinely enjoy building projects, sub-projects, tags, contexts, and location-aware reminders, keep using them — no quarrel here. How About Today is for the other feeling: when you notice you're spending more time organizing tasks than doing them. Capturing one small thing shouldn't mean first choosing a project, a list, a label, a due date, a person, and a place. Here you just type and press Enter — type and Enter, as fast as the thoughts arrive — and it's in front of you. Want a little shape? Add a star or a color. Don't? Leave it plain. It scales to whatever you need — a grocery or packing list, a quick brain-dump, the week ahead — and if you'd rather not type it all out, hand your AI agent a recipe screenshot and ask it to fill in the shopping list. Or use no agent at all; no judgment. The whole idea is that your tasks are simply there, and you get to them whenever you feel like it. How about today?

A star is just another way to tell a task apart — a quiet mark for something you'd really like to get to today. It doesn't reorder your list; use it however you like, much like a color. The four colors are yours to mean whatever you want: errands, work, home, a particular person. No fixed labels, nothing to set up or remember.

At the end of the day, anything still open moves forward to tomorrow — keeping its star and color, without your ever re-filing or rescheduling it. There's no “past” to revisit: finished tasks show for the day, then clear automatically (we hold them 14 days, just in case).

A quiet shelf for things that aren't for today, or any planned day. Send a task to the Box and it leaves your day completely — no nagging, no countdown. When you're finally ready, bring it back to today in one move.

Absolutely. Type each item as its own task and tick them off as you go — no special list mode required. The same blank line works for errands, ideas, a brain-dump, or the week's shopping.

Yes. Open a task's menu W and choose Repeat — or press R to jump straight there — then pick Daily, Weekdays, Weekly, Monthly, or Annually. The task then reappears on its own schedule — handy for habits, standing reminders, and the bins going out.

Yes — you can plan as far ahead as you like. Desktop shows the next few days at a glance — as many as fit your screen comfortably; your phone shows one at a time. Use the arrows, or ← / →, to move between them, or tap the month at the top to open a calendar and jump straight to any date. Tap the today. logo in the top-left to come back to today. There's no past view; finished days simply clear.

It depends on the tool, but it's always passwordless. Command-line and headless agents — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Hermes, OpenClaw, or anything you build — read our published instructions (a SKILL.md we host) and open a pairing request against our MCP endpoint using the email you registered with. You get a single approval prompt — read-only or read & write — and the agent receives a scoped token. Desktop apps like Claude Desktop and Codex sign in over OAuth instead: you add our endpoint once and click Connect, a browser opens to How About Today where you sign in and approve the scope, and the app gets its own scoped token. Either way, nothing — no password, code, or API key — is ever pasted into the agent, and you can revoke access anytime. Full walkthrough on our agent setup page, with a machine-readable SKILL.md.

These connect straight from chat — no settings screen. Tell the agent to connect, give it the email you registered with, and ask it to show you the approval link; it reads our guide and handles the pairing. Approve the scope — read-only or read & write — from that link, or from Pending requests in your account drawer, where a short verify code confirms it’s really your agent.

Easiest of all, copy the prompt straight from the app: open Connect a new agent in your account drawer and your email is already filled in. Or grab it here:

Same flow for Claude Code and the Codex CLI — more on our agent setup page.

Claude Desktop adds How About Today as a custom connector and signs you in with OAuth — a quick one-time setup:

1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors → + Add custom connector.
2. Give it a name (How About Today) and paste https://app.howabout.today/mcp into the Remote MCP server URL, then click Add.
3. Click Connect. Claude opens How About Today in your browser — the same OAuth handshake you've used to connect other apps.
4. Sign in the usual passwordless way (your email + the one-time code we send), then choose the scope — read-only or read & write — and approve.

The browser hands you back to Claude with its own scoped token — Claude never sees your password. Disconnect anytime from Connectors, or open Connected agents in your account and hit Revoke.

Codex connects How About Today as a remote MCP server and authenticates over OAuth — no token or key to paste:

1. In Codex, open Settings → MCP Servers → + Add server and choose Streamable HTTP.
2. Name it How About Today and set the URL to https://app.howabout.today/mcp, then Save (leave the bearer-token and header fields empty).
3. Click Authenticate — in the Codex CLI, run codex mcp login. Codex opens How About Today in your browser for the OAuth sign-in.
4. Sign in passwordlessly and approve the scope — read-only or read & write — and Codex is connected.

Codex keeps its own scoped token; revoke it with codex mcp logout or from your account anytime.

With read access it can see what's on your plate and when. With read & write it can add tasks, move them between days, reorder them, set colors, star, set repeats, and check things off — so you can simply dictate (“add milk to today, push the dentist to Monday”) and it's done.

Every connection is explicit and scoped to exactly what you approved, and you can revoke it anytime from your account — the token stops working immediately. Read-only stays read-only; nothing writes to your list without your say-so. Each agent request also appears in your account drawer with a short verify code that should match your agent’s, so you only ever approve the connection you actually started.

Any MCP-capable client — Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, and others, including tools you build yourself.

In any modern browser — nothing to download. On phones, tablets, and desktops you can also install it as a web app (PWA) so it opens like a native app, right from your home screen or dock.

Yes — and on desktop there's no button to press: just start typing, and the first letter capitalizes itself. Hover any task to select it, then a single key does the rest. W opens its menu — the same one as the ⋯ button — where every action lives. Or go straight there: D done, Z undo, E edit, S star, H highlight, C copy, R repeat, A set aside, →/← move a day forward or back, Del delete — plus drag to reorder. To add and set aside in one go, press ⌘↵. The menu W along with H and R open submenus for highlight colors and repeat schedules. On mobile, a + button and day arrows sit at the bottom of the screen.

For now the installable web app covers phones and tablets beautifully — it works offline and feels native. Dedicated app-store versions may follow, but they aren't required to get the full experience today.

Free for 14 days, then $5/month — billed monthly. That covers unlimited tasks, every feature, and sync across all your devices.

We'll let you know before it does. If you decide it's not for you, nothing is charged. If it's earned a place in your day, you keep going for $5/month.

Yes — in a single click, no email or hoops. Your data stays available so you can export it or come back later.

No passwords, ever. Enter your email and we send a one-time code; pop it in and you're in. That same passwordless identity is what an AI agent connects against — a command-line agent requests access against your email, while a desktop app like Claude Desktop or Codex runs the same browser sign-in during its OAuth connection — which you approve separately.
