Lotsa Tasks holds every task you have and builds today’s plan minute by minute from each task’s duration and priority. Finish something early or run late, and the rest of your day replans itself.
Free plan available. Paid plan monthly or yearly.
Three steps, then you mostly just check things off.
Add every task you have, with how long it takes and how much it matters. Lists, tags, and due dates keep thousands of them in order.
The planner fills today minute by minute: high priorities and due dates first, fitted around the things that happen at a fixed time.
Check tasks off as you go. Finished early? Something ran long? The rest of the day reshuffles, so the plan is always true.
Illustration. Times are wall-clock times in your own time zone.
Most to-do apps are designed for a few dozen tasks. Lotsa Tasks assumes you have a lot: lists and tags to organize them, and a planner that decides which few belong in today, so the rest can wait without nagging.
Give tasks a duration and a priority. The planner lays them out on today’s timeline, working around meetings and other fixed-time items, so you can see what fits before the day starts.
Real days don’t follow the plan. When you complete a task, early or late, the planner rebuilds the rest of the day from that moment: tasks move up, low-priority work slides to tomorrow, and nothing has to be dragged by hand.
Some things happen on a schedule: every Monday, the 1st of the month. Others happen some time after the last time: water the plants five days after you last did. Lotsa Tasks handles both, plus one-off tasks with optional due dates.
Group by project or area, cross-cut with tags.
Your tasks and plan stay in step across devices.
Dates and times follow your home time zone.
Each account’s data is sealed with its own key.
Two minutes from an empty account to a planned day.
Follow-ups, reviews, admin, and the big project, all competing for the same eight hours. See what actually fits today.
Keep a list per client and let the planner fit each one’s work into the hours you have between calls.
Bills, chores, and maintenance that repeat on a schedule or a while after the last time, without a pile of overdue reminders.
Assignments, readings, and study sessions planned around fixed class times, with due dates pulling the urgent work forward.
If choosing what’s next is draining, don’t choose. Open the planner and do the task at the top. It’s already been decided.
Thousands of books to read, projects to try, and places to go, kept safe and out of the way until there’s room for them.
To-do apps hold your tasks but leave the scheduling to you. Calendars hold your time but not your tasks. Lotsa Tasks does both, and keeps them in step.

A task list holds a lot about your life. Lotsa Tasks is designed so the places your data is stored can’t read it.
Everything travels over TLS and is encrypted before it’s written to storage.
Each account’s data is sealed with its own key, which is itself protected by a master key held in a dedicated key-management service.
Deleting your account destroys your key, so your data becomes unreadable everywhere, backups included.

It looks at each task’s duration, priority, and due date, and fits the most important work around the things you’ve fixed to a time. When you complete a task, it replans the rest of the day from that moment.
Yes. There’s a free plan and a paid plan, billed monthly or yearly. Yearly costs ten times the monthly price, so you get two months free. See pricing.
Lotsa Tasks runs in your web browser. Mobile app availability TBD
No, and we’d rather say so plainly. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest with a key unique to your account, so the storage provider can’t read it. The Lotsa Tasks service itself can decrypt it, which is what lets you sign in from any device without managing your own encryption keys.
Answer TBD
Start on the free plan, bring in your whole list, and see what a realistic day looks like.
