What is DANO?
DANO is not another productivity app. It’s a digital mirror of your life — a single, connected space where everything you track lives together and nothing stays isolated. Every action, thought, relationship, and event becomes part of one connected, searchable, time-aware graph of your life: past (timeline), present (today), and future (plans). DANO’s purpose is not productivity. Its purpose is to create a complete, living digital representation of your life. What you can do 🗓? Daily Hub — the heart A page is created automatically for every day. Write freely in the journal, track your mood and energy, and capture wins, challenges, lessons, and gratitude. Below that, DANO assembles your day for you — the tasks you completed, habits you logged, events you attended, notes you wrote, and people you connected with — all pulled in automatically. ? Tasks Capture work the moment it appears. See it as Today, Upcoming, a drag-and-drop Board, or a flat List. Priorities, due dates, statuses (todo ? doing ? waiting ? done), and links to the projects and people they belong to. 📁 Areas, Projects & Goals Organize life the way it actually works: permanent Areas (Health, Career, Finance…) hold Projects, projects hold Tasks, and Goals track the bigger outcomes. Project progress is computed automatically as you complete tasks. 📝 Notes A clean markdown editor with live preview. Type @ to mention a person or # to link a task — DANO creates the connection instantly, and every note shows its backlinks, so your knowledge compounds over time. 🧑?🤝?🧑 People — relationships, not a CRM Each person has a relationship timeline of every interaction, a strength score based on how often and how recently you connect, and a follow-up engine that surfaces upcoming birthdays and people you’ve gone quiet with. 🔥 Habits Build momentum with daily habits. DANO tracks real streaks and completion rates, with a 14-day heatmap you can tap to fill in. 📆 Calendar Your events, task deadlines, and birthdays in one view — Month, Week, Day, or Agenda. 📊 Dashboard Your whole life in one glance: today’s focus, active projects, people to follow up with, habit status, upcoming events, a daily-hub preview, goal progress, and your latest notes. ? Command palette Press ?K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere to search across everything or create it on the spot — a task, a note, a person — without leaving what you’re doing. The principles behind it Everything has a time. Every object lives on a timeline — past, present, and future. Everything is connected. Any object can link to any other. Nothing is an island. People are central. Relationships are core entities, not an afterthought. The day is the atomic unit. Life is lived one day at a time — the Daily Hub is the center. Knowledge compounds. Notes and experiences gain value through their connections. Reflection = execution. Thinking and doing matter equally.
