how it works

Three rules. No fluff.

DuckDoro is a three-task daily planner and focus timer for people overwhelmed by long to-do lists — opinionated on purpose. Turn an endless list into three meaningful commitments, pick your frog, and end the day with real progress.

01

Only three

Capture unlimited tasks, projects and ideas — but commit to exactly three intents a day, chosen this morning, finished by tonight.

02

Frog first 🐸

The timer stays LOCKED until you eat the hardest one. Do it scared, do it first.

03

One calm session

A single 25-min focus. The rest of the screen goes quiet, and so does your brain.

morning to evening

What a day looks like.

Three rules are the whole method. Here is how they play out between the first coffee and shutting the laptop.

morning

Pick three. Say when.

Choose today's three intents and mark the frog. Each one can carry an optional when & where — "after coffee, at the kitchen table" — because a plan with a time attached is the one that survives the day. Stuck? Duck Consult will read your board and suggest a shape.

free
all day

The board holds the rest.

Everything that isn't today's three lives on the focus board below: Next, Doing, Done today. Doing is hard-capped at three, so the board can never quietly turn back into the endless list you came here to escape.

free
in session

One timer, one intent.

The timer belongs to a single intent and stays locked until the frog gets its session. Close the tab by accident and the session is still running when you come back — nothing lost, nothing to restart.

free
evening

Close the day on purpose.

The shutdown ritual walks whatever is unfinished into carry, park, or drop — a decision, not a rollover — and writes the day into your flight log. Tomorrow starts empty, which is the point.

the argument for a short list

Memento Mori

An old Stoic habit, drawn as a grid. Enter your date of birth and every week you have lived becomes a square, with this one marked.

No countdown, no guessed ending — the point is the week in front of you. Once you can see it, three things a day stops feeling small and starts feeling honest.

Fair questions.

What do I get for free — really?

The whole method, forever: 3 projects, 25 tasks, 2 meetings, 10 ideas, your daily frog, the 25-minute timer, the focus board, and the evening shutdown ritual. No trial clock, no feature that quietly expires.

What happens when I hit a free limit?

Nothing dramatic. Your existing stuff stays; you just can't add more of that one thing until you clear space or upgrade ($29 a year unlocks everything).

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — one click from your account page, handled by Stripe. If DuckDoro isn't for you, email support@duckdoro.com and we'll make it right. No exit interviews.

Is my data private?

Your tasks live in your account and nowhere else. We never sell your data, and analytics run only if you accept them — the privacy policy is short enough to actually read.

What does premium actually add?

The caps come off — unlimited projects, tasks, meetings and ideas. Your best hours appears, showing the times of day you actually finish things, drawn from your own session history. A capacity strip reads your calendar and tells you what the day has really left you. And Duck Consult goes from one plan a day to five, ten or twenty-five. The method itself — three intents, the frog, the timer, the board, the shutdown ritual — is free and stays free.
