FAQs

Where do my tasks go when I close the app?

Saved automatically on your device. Reopen and everything will be where you left it.

What's the difference between DO NOW, DO NEXT, and LATER?

DO NOW - your focus list for this session. DO NEXT - important but not urgent. LATER - a parking spot for ideas beyond this week.

How do I edit or delete a task?

Double-tap any task in the Organise step to edit or delete it.

What is the colour line on tasks for?

Optional labelling - tap the strip on the right of any task to assign a colour by project or person.

Can I wipe all my tasks and start fresh?

Yes - Settings - Reset. You can save your lists first if you want to keep a record.

Can I use it on multiple devices?

Tasks are saved to your device only. Use Settings - Your lists to copy tasks and paste them into a new session elsewhere.

Is my data private?

Yes. Stop the Spiral runs entirely in your browser using local storage - nothing is sent to a server, no account is needed, and nobody else can see your tasks. Clearing your browser data will remove them, so use Settings - Your lists to save a copy if you need one.
