Duedles

The dated checklist for one day: where yours live, how to write one, and why it stays separate from your assignments.

A Duedle is a checklist for a single day — the errands, the reading, the small things that aren't graded work. There's one per date, they all sit in your Locker, and every plan has them.

Where your Duedles live

Open Locker and pick the Duedles tab. Each saved Duedle shows up as a card, grouped by month with a count above it — "August 2026", "10 duedles". A card carries the checklist's title, the date and how far you've got through its top-level items, like "August 21 · 1/4 tasks" with "25% complete" under the bar. Sub-items don't count towards that number. A day you never titled reads as its own weekday and date instead.

Once you've built a few, the search box — "Search duedles by title or date..." — finds one by name or by a date like "August 21". Open All Months and choose a month to narrow the list.

Open today's, or another day

In Locker → Duedles, click New Duedle. It opens today's date, whether or not you've written anything there yet.

To go back to an earlier day, click its card.

For any other day, open Calendar. In Week or Day view, each day header carries Add Duedle, or View Duedle once that day has one. In Month view it's the small plus or eye button in the corner of the date, with the same two labels on hover. Agenda has no Duedle button. They all open the same page, so a day that already has one opens what's there rather than starting over.

We keep one Duedle per date, so coming back to a day always brings back the same list rather than starting a second one.

Write the day's list

Name it in the field at the top, where it says "Enter title for your checklist...".
Click Add item and type. Press Enter to start the next one.

Press Tab while you're typing to tuck that item under the one above it. The first item on the list has nothing to sit under, so Tab does nothing there.

The arrow on a row, Add sub-item, starts a fresh item beneath it.

The trash button on a row removes that item and anything nested under it.

Click Save.

Nothing is kept until you save

Typing, checking, indenting and deleting all stay on screen only. The toolbar shows when the checklist last went through — "Saved • 4h ago", or "Saved • Never saved" on a day you've never saved — and Save is the only thing that writes your changes down. Leave the page first and the edits are gone.

Check things off

Click an item's box and its text gets a line through it. Checking an item that has sub-items checks those too, and unchecking it clears them again. Click Save afterwards; when it's a top-level item you ticked, the card back in Duedles picks up the new count and percentage.

Duedles aren't assignments

A Duedle item is plain text, even when you write an assignment's name into it. There's no link between the two: checking off an item that names an assignment doesn't mark that assignment complete, and Duedle items never appear in your week's to-do list or in Due Soon.

Keep graded work in assignments, where a class and a completion state come with it, and use a Duedle for the rest of the day around it.

On a phone

At phone width the checklist runs off the right edge of the screen: Add item, the sub-item arrows and the trash buttons sit past the edge, with no easy way to scroll across to them. You can still check boxes and click Save, but longer item text may be cut off. Build the list on a laptop or tablet.
