Think in Threads: Task Management Built for Planning
August 21, 2026
Most work is more than one task. A "send the report" item often hides a data pull, a review and a note about what the client asked for. When tasks and notes live in separate places, the context behind each task is easy to lose.
Tasks and notes, side by side in one thread.
Think in Threads
Daisy organises work into threads. A thread keeps related tasks and notes together, so you can pick it up and carry on where you left off. A vague task often turns out bigger and slower than expected. A thread shows the smaller tasks inside a piece of work, so you can plan it with its real scope.
Some tasks need no more than a tick. Others need context, and Daisy lets you create a task and attach its own note in the same step.
Capture Takes a Second
An idea you cannot capture quickly is an idea you lose. Press t for a new task, n for a new note, p for a new thread and h to go home. Press 0 for the Inbox or 1 to 9 to open a thread.
Research Stays with the Work
Notes support Markdown, so an AI chat reply pasted into a note keeps its formatting, and .md files can be imported. The research sits in the thread beside the tasks it supports.
Prioritise, Do Not Hoard
Lists grow until nobody trusts them. In Daisy, unfinished tasks auto-delete after 10 days unless starred. Colour shows how long a task has waited: yellow on day 5 and red by day 9, which leaves time to decide whether to do it or drop it. Notes never expire, so a thread can be resumed whenever you return to it.
✓ Completed
Kept permanently.
A history of finished work.
⏰ Undone
Yellow, then red, then deleted.
Star a task to keep it.
Reporting and Sync
Every completed task stays in your history. Finished tasks can be exported as CSV for any date range, which suits invoices and client updates. Tasks and notes sync across devices, so a thread started on a phone is available on a laptop.
Daisy is in beta and free to use.
