Plan today

• Tasks you planned for today, nothing else.
• Spotlight at the top: up to three must-wins.
• Steps today, if you scheduled individual steps of bigger tasks.
• Done today, so the day's wins stay visible.

Your backlog isn't here on purpose. It lives in Lists until you deliberately pull something in.

1. 1Type into the add row at the bottom of the list, it plans straight to today.
2. 2Or use the Plan today from your inbox panel that appears when today is empty, and tap + Today on anything you want.
3. 3Or drag tasks onto today in the Calendar.

Tap the star on a task to make it a Spotlight must-win. Kairo holds a maximum of three at a time and will refuse a fourth with the message “Spotlight holds 3, that's the point ✦”.

Completing a task clears its star automatically, as does sending it back to the inbox or to Someday.

If your today tasks have estimates, the header adds them up: holds ~2h 45m · fits ✓. Once the total passes six hours it changes tone, holds ~7h, that's a lot. Trim one?

When nothing is left on today, no steps are due, and you finished at least one thing, Today turns into a small celebration panel: Day won. It's the only scoreboard Kairo keeps.
