To do

Harbor separates expiration dates from tasks. A passport has an expiration date stored on its document. Renewing that passport is a task you complete. A bill can have a payment task with a due date and amount.

Where to-dos come from#

From the Inbox card's ticked clause, or you add them by hand. Each has a kind, pay, file, renew, fetch or review, a due date, and for payments an amount. One document can carry two: a tax assessment says pay by the 14th and object by the 28th. A to-do can also have no document at all, such as "ask the building manager about the meter reading", and tasks without a due date appear under No date.

The list#

The To do page groups them: Overdue, Today, This week, Later, No date, with Done kept below. Home shows the same things under Needs attention, beside upcoming expiries; only the to-dos get a checkbox.

Three rules run through every place they appear:

• Overdue is the only red. A date that has not passed is amber at most. Upcoming tasks are not marked overdue.
• The badge counts overdue and due today, and nothing else. Future tasks remain in the list without increasing the badge count.
• Nothing is deleted when it is done. Closing keeps the row, who closed it, and when, so you can check when someone marked it complete. This records the action in Harbor; it does not verify a bank payment. Dismissed is a third state for the obligation that was never yours.

Repeating#

A repeating to-do, monthly, quarterly, yearly or every two years, creates its successor when you close it, dated from the occurrence you closed rather than from today, so a bill paid three days late does not drag the series later. Dismissing ends the series.

What Harbor does not do#

Reminders stay in the app. There is no email digest or calendar feed in this version, and Harbor never marks a bill paid on its own, because it cannot see the bank.
