Start for freeHow to Build a To-Do List App
Create a personalised to-do list app with priorities, due dates, and categories that fits the way you actually work.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
Define what your tasks need
Every task needs at minimum: title, status (todo/doing/done), and due date. Add priority, category, and estimated time if those matter to your workflow.
- 2
Build the app with Appaca
Prompt Appaca with "Build a to-do list with priority levels, due dates, categories, and a daily focus view." Appaca creates the complete app.
- 3
Set up your categories
Organise tasks by area: Work, Personal, Errands, Health. Categories let you focus on one context at a time without seeing unrelated tasks.
- 4
Add a today view
A filtered view showing only today's tasks (due today or marked as today's focus) removes decision fatigue from your daily workflow.
- 5
Enable quick capture
Add a quick-add form at the top of the list so capturing a new task takes seconds. Friction at capture means tasks get lost.
- 6
Build a weekly review view
A view showing all tasks due this week, grouped by day, helps with planning. A separate view for overdue tasks prevents things falling through the cracks.
