I liked the analytics and the task management, but IMHO it does too much and the interface feels a bit clunky.

- multiple clicks to close a task.

- non-sensible defaults for creating tasks, like why not default the start and due date?

- can't filter by day

The way I think about personal tasks is they should be small and done in 1-4 hours and in the day they are assigned. I would never create a multi-day task. If a task is so big that it takes longer than 4 hours to do, I break it up into smaller tasks that are 4 hours long. If a task is more like a 'project', then I will use scope out the project in a tool like shortcut.com.

I also don't care to see tasks that I am supposed to due to tomorrow by default. My daily goal is to clear today's list.

I also really like automatically repeating tasks (e.g. "every quarter pay estimate taxes" or "water plants every 10 days") that appear on the day they are due. If I don't complete them, they stay in my list until they are completed and then re-appear in the next cycle.
