Task management
that stays out of the way

For anyone who needs more than a checklist.
Ordna manages tasks and projects without the overhead of Jira, Asana or Notion. No setup, no mandatory fields, no dependencies or Gantt charts. Your data lives in a local database on your own computer.
- 01One action — one or two decisions per step at most
- 02No setup — useful from the first task
- 03Three tabs — Focus, Projects, Tasks
- 04Local first — no account, no cloud required
A light workflow, not a process.
- 1Capture
Type a title, done
A new task needs only a title. Project, date or effort can be added later, when they matter.
- 2Plan
Pull from the backlog
Whatever comes next moves to Next up. Tasks without a project are fine.
- 3Work
In progress or waiting
Active tasks are marked In progress, blocked ones Waiting.
- 4Finish
Done
Recurring tasks create their next due date automatically once you tick them off.
What Ordna handles day to day.
Focus view
Open tasks grouped by due date: overdue, today, the coming days. Change status or date right there.
Project boards
Every project has a board with drag and drop. Projects carry a colour, a description and a status: active, parked, completed.
Effort, not hours
A rough S, M or L is enough. No time tracking, no estimation rounds.
Checklists and tags
Sub-steps as a checklist inside the task, flat tags such as “Client A” or “Phone” for cross-cutting views.
Recurrence and reminders
Daily, weekly, monthly or after completion. Reminders arrive as system notifications at the time you choose.
Search
One search across tasks, projects and tags – a single field for everything.
What Ordna is meant for.
Client projects at a glance
Projects, deadlines and daily tasks in one place, without setting up a team tool.
Side projects and MVPs
Prioritise features, marketing tasks and ideas – with a backlog and a board instead of a ticket system.
Plans with several steps
Renovation, exam prep or a term paper: break it into steps and set due dates.

Frequently asked questions.
How is Ordna different from a to-do app?
Ordna assigns tasks to projects and shows them on a board with a status from backlog to done. It adds effort, checklists, tags and due dates. Dependencies, time tracking and Gantt charts are deliberately left out.
Where is my data stored?
In a local Isar database on your own computer. No account is required. Sync is optional and runs through a Supabase project that you create and connect yourself.
Can I download Ordna yet?
Not yet. Ordna is in development; the core features are built, a first public release is still pending.
Which systems does Ordna run on?
It is built with Flutter, currently for macOS. Windows and Linux are planned, mobile apps will follow later.
What does Ordna cost?
The desktop app is meant to be free to use. Whether optional extras such as multi-device sync become part of a paid offering later is still open.
Is Ordna suitable for teams?
Not at the moment. Ordna is built for individuals. Shared workspaces and sharing are on the roadmap, but after the single-user features.

Tasks that stay out of the way.
No account, no mandatory cloud – Ordna runs locally from the first task. Still in development.
