A task written down and never carried out only makes you feel organised. NextDo moves it out of the browser and into your own directory: tag it aiAgent, the machine running the client picks it up, reads your files, edits them, runs the commands, and writes the result back. The record stays in the cloud. The work stays on your machine.
Where the line falls
Whether something is worth doing, when it is due, and what "done" means: you are better at those calls. Opening the file, changing it, running the command are the parts a machine does better. NextDo keeps the two apart on purpose. The cloud holds one shared record of the tasks, and the acting happens inside a directory you chose, where your code stays.
Projects, boards, tasks and calendar live in one place, the same on every device.
A task lands in nextdo.md. The agent works from that file and writes results back to it.
The agent runs in the directory you pointed it at. Running a task does not hand over your code.
The only contract between you and the agent: a Markdown file both sides can read and rewrite.
From thinking of a thing to having it done
A tidy grid, a compact list, or a canvas you push things around on. On canvas you can draw lines between projects.
Todo, In Progress, Needs a word with someone. Set them up the way your week actually runs.
Titles keep going as you type, descriptions draft in one click. No blank page to face.
Schedule by day. Each cell shows how many tasks were due and how many finished. AI can fill it in.
One-click install on Windows, tucked into the tray, syncing the cloud and your local nextdo.md both ways.
One client binds to many projects. Different machines take different tasks and work in parallel.
The admin view lists IP, OS, CPU, memory and connection state for each client.
Five interface languages. Day and night themes follow your system.
About five minutes from signing up to a finished task
Open NextDo, make an account, land in your workspace.
Project first, board after. Arrange the columns the way you already work.
Mark each one human or aiAgent, and set a deadline and priority where it matters.
Download the client, log in, map a cloud project to a directory on disk.
The client keeps nextdo.md in sync, the agent takes aiAgent tasks and sends results back.
One-click install on Windows, stays in the tray. After that the machine looks after itself.
The guide covers writing prompts for scheduled AI tasks, so the work returns the way you meant it.
