Everything OmmiQ can do for you

Features

The short version

OmmiQ is a day planner. You create tasks, organize them, and check them off when they're done. No bloat, no unnecessary complexity. Below is everything the app offers, explained in plain language.

Tasks

A task is the core of OmmiQ. Every task has a title, and you can optionally add:

  • A description, if you need to jot down extra details or notes
  • A due date, so you know when it needs to happen
  • A due time, for when the hour matters, not just the day
  • A category, to group related tasks together
  • Subtasks, to break it down into smaller steps
  • A recurring schedule, if it repeats

You can edit any of these at any time. When you're done with a task, check it off. Changed your mind? You can mark it as incomplete again.

Quick add

On desktop, press Q or click "Add task" to open a single-line quick add. Type the task the way you'd say it out loud and OmmiQ turns it into a real task.

For example, buy milk tomorrow 3pm #groceries becomes a task titled "buy milk," due tomorrow at 15:00, in the Groceries category. A preview line below the text box shows exactly what was parsed, with an × on every rule so you can drop any match that wasn't what you meant.

Quick add understands:

  • Dates - today, tomorrow, tonight, next Monday, Apr 22, 22.04
  • Times - 3pm, 3:30pm, 15:00, at 9am
  • Categories - #work, #groceries (matches the start of your category name)
  • Recurrence - daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, every weekday, every Mon, every Mon, Wed, Fri

Need something quick add can't handle - subtasks, a description, a reminder, a complex recurrence - click "Open full editor" and the drawer opens with everything already filled in. Quick add is desktop-only; on mobile, the "Add task" button opens the full editor directly.

Due dates & scheduling

Every task can have a due date. You can pick a date from the calendar, or use the quick buttons to schedule something for today or tomorrow. If you don't set a due date, the task lives in your Inbox until you're ready to schedule it.

You can't schedule a task in the past - the earliest you can pick is today. If a task's due date has passed and you haven't completed it, it shows up as overdue so it stays on your radar.

If timing matters, you can add a specific time to a task. Tasks with a time show it alongside the due date, so "14:00" for today or "Apr 22 at 14:00" for a future day. Times are optional - leave them off for whole-day tasks.

Smart views

Instead of one giant list, OmmiQ splits your tasks into views that make sense:

  • Inbox - Tasks without a due date. Think of it as your capture area. Toss tasks in here and schedule them later when you know when they should happen.
  • Today - Everything on your plate right now. This includes tasks due today, plus any overdue tasks you haven't dealt with yet. Tasks you complete today show up at the bottom so you can see what you've accomplished.
  • Scheduled - All your future tasks, organized into Tomorrow, Upcoming (this week), and Later (further out). This gives you a birds-eye view of what's coming.

Search

Looking for a specific task? Open search from the top menu (bottom menu on mobile), or just press Ctrl+K on your keyboard. A full-screen overlay appears with a search box and live results as you type.

Search covers both active and completed tasks. It matches on task titles and descriptions, so you can find things by whatever detail you remember. Press Escape or tap outside to close.

Categories

Categories let you group tasks however you like. Maybe you want to separate "Work" from "Personal," or have a category for "Groceries" and another for "Home." It's up to you.

Each category gets a visual marker - either a color dot or an emoji. Colors come from a predefined palette, and emojis from a curated set. This makes it easy to spot which category a task belongs to at a glance.

Categories can also be nested. You can create a parent category like "Work" and then add child categories under it, like "Meetings" or "Reports." This gives you two levels of organization. Only top-level categories can be parents.

When you open a category, you see all its active tasks plus anything you completed in the last 7 days. You can also quickly move a task from one category to another without opening the full editor.

Subtasks

Sometimes a task is really a bunch of smaller steps. That's what subtasks are for. You can add as many subtasks as you need and check them off individually.

Each task with subtasks shows a progress bar so you can see at a glance how far along you are - something like "3/5 subtasks" with a visual indicator.

Subtasks are independent from the parent task's completion. You can check off subtasks even if the main task isn't marked as complete yet, and completing the main task doesn't automatically check off the subtasks. They're separate checklists.

Recurring tasks

For things that repeat, you can set up a recurring schedule instead of creating the same task over and over. OmmiQ supports four types of recurrence:

  • Daily - The task shows up every single day.
  • Weekly - You pick which days of the week it should repeat on. Want something every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday? Just check those days.
  • Monthly - A few options here. You can repeat on the same date each month (like the 15th), on a specific day pattern (like the second Thursday), or on the last day of the month. If you pick a date like the 31st, OmmiQ will offer the "last day" option instead, since not every month has 31 days. Similarly, dates around February 28/29 are handled carefully to avoid impossible dates.
  • Yearly - Repeats once a year on the same date.

When you complete a recurring task, OmmiQ automatically creates the next occurrence for you. You don't have to do anything - it just appears on the right date. If you accidentally mark a recurring task as complete and undo it, any future copies that were created get cleaned up automatically.

Skipping an occurrence. Sometimes you don't need to do something this time around. You can skip the current occurrence, and OmmiQ will jump ahead to the next one. This is available for tasks that are due today or earlier.

Rescheduling a single occurrence. Need to push just one occurrence to a different date without changing the entire schedule? You can do that. OmmiQ will create a one-time copy on the new date (without the recurring pattern) and advance the recurring task to the next occurrence. The original repeating schedule stays untouched. One thing to note: daily recurring tasks can't be rescheduled this way, since they repeat every day anyway - you can skip them instead. Also, you can only reschedule to a date on or before the original due date, not further into the future.

Drag & drop

On the Today view, you can reorder your tasks by holding down on a task and dragging it to a new position. This lets you prioritize by feel - put the most important thing at the top, move something less urgent to the bottom.

The same works for categories - you can drag them into whatever order makes sense to you in the sidebar.

The order you set is saved, so it stays the way you left it. The first time you use Today, you'll see a small hint about this feature. Once you reorder something, the hint goes away.

Trash

When you delete a task or a category, it isn't gone for good. It moves to the trash, where it sits until you decide what to do with it. Deleted something by accident? Restore it with one tap.

From the Trash page you can restore individual items, delete them permanently, or empty the trash in one go. Restored tasks land in your Inbox with no due date, so you can reschedule them on your own terms.

Import from other apps

Switching from another to-do app? You can import your tasks directly into OmmiQ from seven popular apps:

  • Todoist - CSV export (one file per project)
  • TickTick - CSV backup from the web app
  • Google Tasks - JSON export via Google Takeout
  • Microsoft To Do - CSV export via Outlook
  • Asana - CSV export per project
  • Trello - JSON board export
  • OmniFocus - CSV export

The importer handles categories, subtasks, due dates, and descriptions. Just upload the export file from your old app in Settings, and OmmiQ takes care of the rest. Each app's import page includes step-by-step instructions for how to generate the export file.

There's a limit of 500 tasks per import and a maximum file size of 10 MB. Recurring tasks from other apps are imported as one-time tasks, since recurrence rules vary too much between apps to translate reliably.

Statistics

Once you've completed at least 20 tasks, the Statistics page unlocks. It gives you a visual overview of your habits and productivity. These statistics are based on your latest ~150 completed tasks. Here's what you'll find:

  • Tasks completed - How many tasks you've completed overall.
  • Tasks by category - Which categories get the most action.
  • Completion trend - A 14-day moving average of your completion velocity. A rising line means you're accelerating.
  • Created vs completed - How your task creation rate compares to your completion rate over time. Helps spot if you're piling up more than you're finishing.
  • Most productive hour - The time of day when you complete the most tasks. Useful for figuring out when you're naturally most productive.
  • Avg. time to complete - The average time it takes from creating a task to completing it.
  • On-time completion rate - What percentage of your tasks get done on or before their due date.
  • Your task personality - A personality-style breakdown of your task patterns. Are you more of a creature of habit or a task sprinter?
  • Avg. task complexity - A measure of how complex your task load tends to be, based on subtasks and descriptions.
  • Focus score - How much you stick to one category or context vs. jumping between different ones.
  • Schedule precision - How closely you complete tasks on the date you originally planned them for.

These stats are meant to be a reward and a mirror - not a guilt trip. They help you understand your own rhythm so you can plan better.

Dark & light mode

You can switch between dark and light mode in Settings. The switch applies immediately across the entire app. Use whichever is easier on your eyes, or switch depending on the time of day. Your preference is remembered.

Completion sounds

When you check off a task, OmmiQ can play a short sound as a little reward. There are three sounds to choose from in Settings, or you can turn it off entirely if you prefer silence. It's a small thing, but it feels good.

Install as an app

OmmiQ is a Progressive Web App (PWA). That means you can install it on your phone or computer and use it like a regular app - with its own icon, its own window, and no browser toolbar getting in the way.

No app store needed. Just open OmmiQ in your browser and look for the "Install" or "Add to Home Screen" option. It's fast, lightweight, and always one tap away.

Account & settings

In Settings, you can manage your account and preferences:

  • Change your name or email address
  • Change your password
  • Set your time zone
  • Pick your theme (dark or light)
  • Choose a completion sound
  • Import tasks from another app (Todoist, TickTick, Google Tasks, and more)
  • Download your data as JSON
  • Delete your account if you ever want to leave (this is permanent)

When you change your email, you'll need to verify the new address before it takes effect. Until then, you keep using your old email to sign in. You can cancel a pending email change or resend the verification email if needed.

Suggest a feature

Missing something? There's a "Suggest a feature" page in the sidebar where you can send ideas, requests, or feedback straight to me. I read every single one. No guarantees on what ships, but your input genuinely shapes what gets built next.

OmmiQ is hosted in the EU. There is no tracking, no analytics, no ads, and no selling of your data. We don't use cookies for tracking and we don't share anything with third parties. Your tasks are your business. For the full details, see our Privacy Policy.

Accessibility

OmmiQ is built to be usable by everyone. The app supports keyboard navigation, screen readers, proper focus indicators, and sufficient color contrast. There's a "Skip to main content" link for keyboard users, and all icons have text labels for assistive technology. You can read more on our Accessibility page.
