Using ElfAnt

A tour of the app — how it's laid out and what each part does.

ElfAnt (Never Forget) is a gamified task, habit, and goal tracker with Memo — a friendly elephant who nudges, celebrates, and keeps you honest. Offline-first, with optional Google Calendar sync and a way to share tasks with anyone, no account required.

Everything starts here: today's tasks, your habits, pinned goals, and quick access to every other part of the app along the top.

How the lists work

Overdue, Today, and Upcoming each rank by priority first, then by scheduled time, and show only your top 5 — a "+N more" link expands the rest. Check a Today task off and it disappears immediately, with the next-ranked task sliding into its place and a small green badge tracking how many you've finished today.

03 · What You Can Do

Core Features

Everything below is reachable from the Home screen's top bar or the task editor.

Tasks & Priorities

Set a due time and a Low/Medium/High priority. Drag to reorder your visible top 5, or let the ranking do it for you.

Daily habit sections with streaks — check in once a day; miss one and the streak resets.

Sort what matters into Must / Should / Could / Won't Do, and pin up to 5 to your Home strip.

Focus Timer

Pomodoro sessions from 5 to 60 minutes. Completed sessions log focus time straight onto the linked task.

Share & Scan

Turn a task into a postable card with an embedded QR. Text it, post it — the recipient scans it straight into their own ElfAnt.
