Todoist built its following on one habit: write the task down, check it off, watch the streak grow. That loop is most of why people open it every morning. We stripped it down into Daily Stack, a free task list that runs right here on this page. Add a task, tap it done, and keep your streak alive. No install, no account, no signup.
Use Daily Stack now
Type a task and press Enter or tap Add. Tap the circle to check it off, tap the dot to cycle its priority, and tap the x to delete it.
How to use it
Three sample tasks load automatically so you can see the list working before you type anything. Add your own with the input box at the top, either tapping Add or pressing Enter on a keyboard. Each task has three controls: a colored dot for priority (tap it to cycle through slate, indigo, amber, and red), a checkbox to mark it done, and an x to delete it.
Every change saves the instant you make it, so there is no save button anywhere. Come back the next day and the tasks you finished roll into a short “yesterday” summary while anything unfinished stays exactly where you left it. Keep completing at least one task a day and your streak counter climbs. Everything, including your tasks and your streak, is stored only in this browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
How it compares to Todoist
Daily Stack keeps the part of Todoist that people actually use every day: add a task fast, check it off with one tap, and watch a streak build. The priority dot mirrors Todoist’s priority flags in a simplified four-color form, and the day-to-day rollover mimics the satisfaction of clearing your list and starting fresh.
What it drops is everything that makes Todoist a real productivity system. There are no projects, no labels, no sub-tasks, and no way to organize tasks into anything beyond one flat list. There are no due dates and no reminders, so nothing here will notify you about anything. There is no collaboration, no shared projects, and no way to assign a task to anyone else. Most importantly, everything you type into Daily Stack saves only to this browser. Close it on your phone and open it on your laptop, and you will find a different, empty list waiting. Nothing syncs across devices.
So when should you get the real app? The moment you want more than one list, or you need a task to remind you at a specific time, or you want your tasks to follow you between your phone and your desktop. Daily Stack is a quick way to feel out the daily check-off loop. Todoist is the tool built to actually run your life on.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Todoist in a browser without an account?
Todoist itself requires a free account to sync your tasks, even on its web app. Daily Stack, the tool on this page, needs no account at all. It is our own original task list inspired by Todoist’s daily check-off loop, and it runs entirely in your browser.
Is this the real Todoist?
No. Daily Stack is an original tool we built, inspired by the add-check-streak loop that makes Todoist a daily habit for millions of people. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Doist in any way. The download links above go to the official app.
Does my task list save if I close the tab?
Yes, on your device only. Every task, checkbox, and priority you set is stored in your browser’s local storage and reloads exactly as you left it. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing syncs to another device or browser.
Does it work offline?
Once the page loads, Daily Stack makes no further network requests, so a dropped connection will not interrupt it. For a task manager that actually syncs across your phone and computer, and that can remind you at a specific time, you need the real Todoist app.
Is it free?
Yes. Daily Stack has no ads, no purchases, and no account requirement. Todoist itself is free to use for a single flat list of tasks, with a paid Pro plan for reminders, more projects, and longer activity history.
