Getting started with Locodo: your first task in 30 seconds
Locodo is built to get out of your way. There's no sign-up, no setup wizard, and no cloud to configure — download it, open it, and you're ready. Here's everything you need for your first few minutes.
1. Add your first task
Tap the blue + button and just start typing. Locodo understands plain English, so you can write the whole thing in one line:
- “Call mom tomorrow at 6pm”
- “Pay rent on the 1st”
- “Team standup every weekday at 9am”
As you type, Locodo highlights the date, time and repeat it detected and fills them in for you — no fiddling with pickers. Prefer to speak? Tap the microphone and dictate; it happens on your device.
2. Complete, edit and delete
On the task list, swipe right to mark a task done and swipe left to delete it. Tap any task to open it and add notes, a due date, a reminder, a priority, sub-tasks or tags. Made a mistake? Deleted tasks go to Recently Deleted (Settings), so you can restore them for up to 7 days.
💡 Tip: You don't have to fill in everything. A title alone is a perfectly good task — add details only when they help.
3. Find your way around
The tabs at the bottom are your home base:
- Home — today at a glance: your progress, what's next, your week and how much of the day is free.
- Tasks — your list, with smart views (Today, Due in 7 days, Flags, Done) and an optional compact mode.
- ＋ — the button in the middle adds a task or a time block from anywhere.
- Planner — time-block your day and work it block by block (more in guide 3).
- Settings — theme, sleep hours, notifications, a PDF report, app lock, backups and Recently Deleted.
4. Plan your day
Your Home screen folds your whole day together — timed activities, untimed to-dos, free windows and any conflicts — so there's no separate calendar to hop to. When you want to structure your time, open the Planner and block it out.
