Features

An overview of what ToDay can do.

1) Activities & reminders

  • Activities/To-Dos with: title, description, date (Y-M-D), time (HH:mm), priority, reminders (multiple offsets), repeat (RRULE), exceptions (exdates), source (e.g., system:cycle, system:time_announce), schedRev, batchId.
  • Multiple reminders: predefined offsets (start, 5/10/15/30 min, 1/2 h) – can be combined.
  • Repeats: daily / weekly (days + interval) / monthly (day in month or weekday in month) / yearly (date or weekday in month).
    End: endless, until date, after count.
  • Overdue display: segmentation < 1 h, 1–3 h, > 3 h with quick actions and segmented lists.

2) Cycles (planner)

  • Automatically creates series of activities from the start time with a count limit (e.g., "4 of 24 possible").
  • Templates/presets (Pomodoro & co.): 25/5 (Pomodoro), 50/10, 52/17, 45/15, 30/10, 60/15, as well as ultradian cycles 90/15, 90/20, 75/15.
  • Optional focus start (e.g., to jump directly into a session).

3) Time announcements

  • Generates time points between start and end time at the selected interval: 10/15/20/30 min or hourly.
  • Output as notification – optionally TTS or Morse tone.
  • Time announcements are tracked as their own activity source (system:time_announce).

4) Speech: TTS, STT & voice macros

  • Text-to-Speech (TTS): engine/voice/locale, speech rate and pitch, test output.
  • Speech input via keyboard: dictate with keywords "Title ...", "Description ...", "Date ...", "Time ..." → parser fills fields.
  • Voice macros: trigger → expansion → parsing
    CRUD (create/edit/delete), active/filter, preview parsing, duplicate check.

5) Weather & pollen (DWD)

  • ZIP code + optional alert region, quiet times (DND for DWD).
  • Weather alerts (e.g., hail, thunderstorm, storm, rain, snow, wind, frost, fog) – can be enabled per type.
  • Pollen with threshold ("from intensity ...") and pollen types (grasses, birch, alder, hazel, ash, mugwort, ragweed, rye).
  • Check now starts a DWD query immediately.
    Integration on Home (indicators, info lines).

6) Notifications & alarms

  • Robust scheduling/cancel per activity/date (including batch/offsets).
  • Exact alarms (if allowed by the system) for on-time triggering.
  • Cancel logic for associated notifications when deleting/cleaning up.

Important: For reliable delivery, allow notifications, exact alarms (if available), and ignore battery optimization.

7) Home overview

  • Date navigation (Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow/Arrows), progress bar (done / total), key figures (total, done, high priority).
  • Info line: weather alerts & pollen status (DWD).
  • Tabs: Open · Overdue · Done · DWD.
  • Quick actions & segmented lists for overdue items.
  • FABs: add activity, speech input, cycle generator.
    Extras: heatbar/stats and confetti on achievements (device/version dependent).

8) Settings

  • Language (DE/EN).
  • Appearance: light/dark/system, dynamic colors (Android 12+).
  • Notifications – general: country, ZIP, alert region, quiet times, global switch.
  • Weather alerts (DWD) and pollen (DWD): finely configurable, check now.
  • TTS settings: voice, rate, pitch.
  • Time announcements: window, interval, Morse instead of TTS, generate.
  • Dangerous area: debug info under activities, rebuild notifications, delete all activities.

9) Data & tech

  • SQLite (local), repositories for activities & settings.
  • Scheduling service with RRULE evaluator and cycle generator.
  • Notification facade encapsulates scheduling, IDs and cancel path.
  • Info dialog shows version/channel, Android build, package ID, DB path/file/tables/entries and permission status (notifications, exact alarms, battery optimization).

10) Privacy & offline

  • Activities are stored locally (no cloud requirement).
  • DWD data requires internet; when offline, it updates on next sync.
  • Speech input is handled by the keyboard app (its privacy policy applies).

11) Limits & notes

  • Quiet times affect DWD alerts only – not task alarms.
  • Without system permissions (exact alarms/notifications/battery optimization) reminders may be delayed.
  • Calendar/time zone specifics for RRULEs are taken into account; nevertheless, verify after imports.
