Why it feels different
ProgressCove floats your closest-to-done work to the top, so opening the app answers a question instead of asking one. You feel in control, not buried.
Progress here is counted, kept, and shown, what's done, never what's looming. No streaks to lose, no charts that scold. Just quiet evidence that showing up works.
Give a repeating task a list of options and it picks one for you each time it comes round, working through them without repeating itself. Soup of the day: chicken noodle. You stop deciding what to cook and just cook.
Our Home Assistant integration puts the recurring jobs on a wall panel, so taking the bins out is a switch by the door rather than a phone in your pocket. Ask your voice assistant what is due today and it answers from the same lists. See the integration.
One subscription covers your whole household. Share the chores and the grocery run with full editing for everyone, while each person's own space stays private. Family members only ever see what you choose to share.
Your tasks are your inner life. Everything you type is encrypted at rest on our servers, and your data is exportable anytime. The web app's source and the backend's will be freely available soon: no lock-in,ever.
How it works
If other apps felt like lists of lists, this is the fix: four simple levels that the app teaches you as you set it up.
Work, Home, School, Scouts, the big buckets your life already has.
Inside each area: the backyard refresh, the science fair, the Q3 report.
The concrete steps. Dates optional. Nothing ever turns red.
Subtasks make big steps startable, small pieces move.
Prefer a plain list? Skip the setup and ProgressCove works like the notepad you came from, the structure stays invisible until the day you want it. Works as a simple list, grows into a system.
Switching?
TickTick is a great app. ProgressCove started as a dashboard built on it, then became its own thing, with more structure, a real project overview, and the whole family on one plan.
Read the comparison →Todoist wants a date on everything. ProgressCove has no overdue state at all, dates are optional, and your pace is the right pace.
Read the comparison →Things has a lovely interface, but it's Apple-only and single-user. ProgressCove keeps the calm and adds Android, a browser-based web app, and family sharing.

ProgressCove began as a dashboard built on TickTick, then grew into its own app. It keeps what's good about a task manager but adds more structure, areas hold projects, projects hold tasks and subtasks, a real overview of how each project is doing, and the whole family on one plan. Learn more →
Todoist leans on deadlines and overdue states. ProgressCove has no overdue anywhere: a task you haven't done yet is simply ongoing. Dates are optional and nothing punishes your pace. Learn more →
Things 3 is Apple-only by design. ProgressCove brings a calm, structured task manager to Android, plus a web app in any browser, and family sharing Things doesn’t offer. Learn more →
