aroday

never lose the thread

plan → focus → done

A fast, keyboard-first daily planner. Task-bound timers, an Auto plan that fits the day around your calendar, and habits with streaks you'd hate to break. Connect an AI assistant and it reads, creates, and updates your tasks for you — all in your own Google Drive.

A trimmed slice of aro.day: today's day strip, three task cards (Write the RFC, Review PR #482, Customer call), and the active-now bar with a running timer at 24 minutes.

AI integration

Let your AI assistant manage your tasks.

Connect the AI assistant you already use, then just ask. It reads, creates, and updates your tasks — and can draft or research one for you, saved as a note you review. You stay in control: nothing's done until you say so, and your tasks never leave your own Google Drive.

  • Claude Desktop
  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Any MCP client

Open source, built on the Model Context Protocol, and runs on your machine — not ours.

  1. Add aro.day to your AI assistant — one click in Cursor and VS Code, a quick paste in Claude Desktop.
  2. Connect in your browser — run npx aroday-mcp connect and approve. No code to copy.
  3. Just ask — "what's due today?", "add three tasks for the launch", "draft the project brief."

The AI integration is a Pro feature. See Pro →

auto plan

Fills your day in one click.

Pick a range — today, this week, up to 14 days — and Auto plan drops your unscheduled tasks into your working hours. It honours your Google Calendar, schedules each project within the working hours you set, and respects daily caps. Tasks land in due-date and priority order, with the heaviest first so the easy ones don't crowd them out.

Two projects can share a slot only if both allow overlap. Habits aren't auto-planned — they keep their own cadence. Pro feature.

Auto plan: per-project windows, allow-overlap, and a one-click range planner

plan

Nothing falls between days.

The Day overview shows every unfinished task across every project — what carried over, what's queued, what's due today — in one strip. Open it and pick up.

focus

Multiple focus timers. All in one place.

Most Pomodoro tools run a single timer. aro.day runs as many as you need — each one tied to its task and visible in the active bar above the board. A deep-work block, two code reviews, a meeting you're tracking: none of them disappear into the background.

break

Real breaks, built in.

When a focus block ends, aro.day dims the work and runs a break: a breathing orb, a short prompt, a countdown. Timers auto-resume when the break ends. Rest is part of the loop, not an afterthought.

schedule

Your meetings, next to your tasks.

Connect Google Calendar once and your meetings show up alongside your aro.day tasks on a single calendar. Right-click any meeting to add a prep block before it. Drag tasks into any free slot. No more copying between apps.

habits

Daily habits.

Tick a habit once a day — aro.day rolls it forward, tracks your streak, and paints a 12-week heatmap.

Any task in any project can repeat too — Daily, Weekdays, Weekly, or Monthly. Standups, weekly reports, monthly invoices.

Free: three habits and three repeating tasks. Pro is unlimited.

notes

Multiple notes, one per thought.

Every task holds a grid of rich-text notes — title from the first line, preview from the rest, grouped by Today / Yesterday / This week. Switch between this task and the whole project in one tap.

Free: three notes per task, 500 characters each. Pro is unlimited, with image upload to your own Drive.

done

See where the time actually went.

The daily report writes itself: time worked, tasks completed, tasks still in progress, blockers — all grouped by project. Copy as Markdown and paste it straight into your standup or end-of-day note.

Hand it to AI. Done by you.

Free, no sign-up. Pro adds the AI integration — so Claude or Codex can read, create, and update your tasks — plus sync, Reports, and Auto plan.

Your data stays on your device. Pro sync mirrors to your own Google Drive — optional end-to-end encryption so even we can't read it. How this works →
