Home is the Index. One row per item, most urgent first, each with a gear-shaped gauge and the days left to its next job. One look tells you what needs doing.

Home with four items: one overdue banner for the FPV drone, then Espresso machine, Commuter e-bike and Retro handheld with their gauges and days left.

    The count

    How many items you have, and how many need you. Overdue and due soon are printed in spot ink, only when there are any.

  2. 2
    Tabs

    All, Due soon, Overdue, Daily drivers, then one per category you use, and Archived once something is archived. Each shows its count.

  3. 3
    The overdue banner

    Every overdue item gets one, most overdue first: how long it’s been, the job, and a Done button that stamps it.

  4. 4
    An index row

    The gauge, the item, its next job and interval, and the days left. A component’s jobs roll up underneath: “Battery pack · Charge & test battery pack”.

Reading a gauge

The gauge is a gear. Its ring and teeth are the time left until the job is due; they empty as the day comes closer and wind back up when you stamp it.

Ink
Plenty of time. More than 30 % of the interval is left.
Spot orange
Due soon. 30 % or less is left; the days turn orange too.
Hatched orange
Overdue. The ring empties and turns to hatching; the days show how long ago it was due, with the word Overdue under them.
Hatched grey
No jobs yet. The gauge waits for one.

Finding things

Search
Tap the magnifier and type. Names of items and components match, without minding case or accents. The tab counts stay as they were.
Daily drivers
The tab lists the gear you use every day; their storage-only jobs are paused. 04 Jobs and countdowns ›
Archived
Sold it, lent it, put it in the loft? Archive keeps its history and takes it off the list. The Archived tab brings it back; Unarchive puts it on the bench again.
Delete
Asks first: “Its tasks, components and history go with it.” Archive is the gentler choice.
