Macapp showing today’s tasks, labels, a subtask, a monthly calendar and a local clock. — Open, recurring and completed tasks brought together in Today using fictional data.

Fictional data prepared for demonstration.

CONTEXT

Day-to-day work does not always need project management software.

Email, messages, calls and routine coordination can all turn into tasks that need to be remembered, scheduled or repeated. For one person, a larger project management tool can add structure the work does not need. Macapp starts with a narrower question: what needs attention today, what belongs on a future date and what returns each month.

APPROACH

A simple, local and persistent tool.

Tasks are entered manually and can have no labels, one label or several. Open tasks remain visible until they are completed or deleted, without priorities or overdue alerts. Completed tasks move to a separate group for the rest of that day.

Organize the day

Macapp brings together the day’s tasks and carries open work forward. Each task can be edited, completed, reopened or deleted. Text search and label filtering narrow the view when needed.

Keep data local

Macapp is used in a browser through a local server and stores its information in SQLite. A clock and monthly calendar support the main view; the calendar is informational and its weeks start on Monday.

Schedule and repeat

One-time tasks can be scheduled for a future date. Recurring tasks are set by day of the month; when that date does not exist, Macapp uses the month’s last day. An open recurring task is not duplicated when the next cycle arrives.

Macapp scheduled tasks grouped under three future dates. — Future tasks stay separate from Today and are grouped by date.

Macapp monthly recurring tasks, including one set for day 31. — Recurring tasks are set by day of the month; if the date does not exist, the last available day is used.

Break down and note

Subtasks can be added when a task is created, and existing subtasks are then managed separately. The Notes section keeps simple local notes, without attachments or document management features.

Subtasks are added when a task is created; existing subtasks are managed separately.

Macapp inline form for creating a task with a date, two labels and a subtask. — Tasks are entered manually and can include several labels and a subtask when created.

Break down and note · Find and arrange

Find and arrange

Text and label filters can be combined. In compatible views, open tasks and notes can be reordered manually. Manual ordering is not available in every context, and drag handles are hidden while filters are active.

Manual ordering is available in compatible views when no filters are active.

Three fictional notes in Macapp with manual ordering controls. — Simple local notes that can be reordered within their view.

SCOPE

Designed for individual use and manual entry.

Macapp does not read email or messages, sync calendars or import tasks automatically. It does not include accounts, teams, roles, simultaneous collaboration, device sync, priorities, due-date alerts or push notifications. Recurring tasks are monthly. It is not advanced project management software.

LOCAL OPERATION

Data stays on the computer.

Macapp runs locally and keeps its data on the computer. Its main features remain available without a connection. When internet access is unavailable, it uses system fonts. It does not include automatic backups or an in-app restore flow; database backup must be defined as part of each implementation.

ORIGIN

Designed around an actual workflow.

Macapp grew out of the day-to-day work of a residential community administrator who needed to bring together tasks arriving through different channels without adopting complex management software. Estudio Albatros designed and developed the product around that workflow. It is currently used under license and continues to evolve as an Estudio Albatros product.
