About BasedTasks

Last Updated: May 21, 2025

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Ocean Bennett! I built BasedTasks because I needed a straightforward way to organize my day, keep track of my goals (like drinking enough water!), and manage all those little details that can easily slip through the cracks. I love creating things, and my hope is that this app can help you as much as it helps me.

What I really wanted was a tool that was simple, private, and didn't require creating an account or downloading anything. That's the core idea behind BasedTasks: **your data stays with you, on your device.**

What Can BasedTasks Do For You?

BasedTasks is designed to be your personal, private digital assistant that lives right in your browser. Here’s a quick look at what it offers:

• Manage Your To-Do List: Add tasks quickly, include detailed notes, set due dates, times, categories (like Personal, Work, Health), and priorities.
• Recurring Tasks: Easily set up tasks that repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or on a custom schedule.
• Reminders: Get desktop notifications for your important tasks so you don't miss deadlines.
• Sub-Tasks & Agenda Items: Break down larger tasks or plan out discussion points for calls and meetings.
• Track Your Water Intake: Log your water consumption, set a daily goal, and see your progress. Hydration reminders are also available!
• Calendar View: Visualize your scheduled tasks on a monthly calendar.
• Multiple Profiles: Keep different areas of your life separate (e.g., "Personal," "Work Project"). Each profile has its own distinct data.
• Progress Summary: Get a quick overview of tasks completed, active tasks, and your average water intake.
• Notification History: Review past task and hydration reminders.
• Customizable Settings: Adjust your water goal, notification preferences, and more.
• No Account, No Downloads: It's a Progressive Web App (PWA). Use it instantly in your browser, and if supported, "install" it for an app-like feel.
• Privacy-Focused: All your data is stored locally in your browser. I don't collect your tasks, notes, or personal logs.

A Bit More About Me

I'm Ocean Bennett, and I'm based in the United States (Massachusetts, to be specific!). I'm passionate about creating tools that are genuinely useful and can make a positive difference in people's daily routines. BasedTasks is a personal project that grew from my own desire for a simple, effective, and private productivity app.

I'm always thinking about how to make BasedTasks better and more helpful, while sticking to the core principles of simplicity and privacy.

My Hope for BasedTasks

I truly built this app to solve my own organizational challenges, and I'm sharing it with the hope that it can help you too. If you're looking for a straightforward, private way to manage your day and boost your productivity, I hope you'll find BasedTasks valuable.
