00 / For small teams and owner-run businesses
Goal
Phase
Final milestone
For small teams and people running their own business. A to-do list holds tasks. Yipadoo also holds the Goal, the Phase and the timeline they belong to.
01 / How it works
Finish a task and it moves toward the milestone at the center. The plan stays in view the whole way: the Goal, the Phase and what is next.
Open My work. Today, Upcoming, Waiting and Assigned to me are tabs on one row. Next task names the one to do.
Put the work on a Goal, then a Phase, then milestones. Planning draws every project on one Timeline.
Give it a Game plan, what Done looks like, a size and a start date. Say what blocks it, or who you are waiting on.
Press Q. Quick Add reads the project, the date, the priority, labels and who it is for. Then switch the project between a list, a board and a calendar.
02 / Features
Next task and Planning lead. The assistant is one part of the product, not the product.
My work holds Today, Upcoming, Waiting and Assigned to me. Next task puts your own work ahead of unassigned work, then overdue and due today, a deadline within a week, priority, the next milestone and smaller tasks. It skips blocked work, work waiting on someone, tasks that start later, and tasks assigned to someone else.
Your own work first

Skips blocked work
A Goal holds Phases. A Phase holds milestones, and one Final milestone closes the Goal. Planning opens on the Timeline across every project, with Goals and Weekly reviews beside it. Save plan locks a milestone. Mark as final milestone names the Final milestone. On the Team plan, the Team view of Timeline flags an overloaded week.

List
BoardClaude, ChatGPT or another assistant can work in Yipadoo through the open connector standard (called MCP). You set its level: read only, read and write, or also delete tasks and Phases. It acts as you, and it cannot do more than you can.
Level 01
Read only
It can look through your work.
Level 02
Read and write
It can add and update, as you can.
Level 03
Delete tasks and Phases
Only when you grant that level.
03 / The fun part
Finishing work should feel like something. Every checked task gets a small burst and a ding. Finish a milestone and the confetti comes out. All of it switches off in Settings.
The lime is saved for this moment. You only see it when something is done.
