Today and Focus

Nextcloud Deck Today queue and timed Focus sessions.

Today shows what is due across all your boards. Focus gives one of those cards a timed block of work.

01

The problem with per-board due dates

Deck keeps due dates inside each board, so seeing everything due today means opening every board. Today reads across all your synced boards instead.

02

Today collects, Focus executes

Since Deckloud 1.3.8, these are two screens with two jobs.

  • Today is the home screen.

    Cards that are due, overdue, assigned to you, or mention you, from every board in one queue. Deckloud opens on it.

  • Today owns triage.

    Complete a card or move its date in the queue, with undo. Overdue cards share one row under Due today, and Move all to today reschedules them at once.

  • Focus owns the session.

    Open Focus from the timer in Today's top bar. Pick a card and a 10, 25, or 45 minute plan. On iPhone, the timer runs as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and moves on to the next card in the queue.

  • A month calendar.

    Today also opens a month view of your due dates, to see the weeks ahead.

03

A two-minute daily habit

Each morning, Deckloud opens on Today. Clear or reschedule what is overdue and check that the day is realistic. Then start a Focus session on the card that needs a real block of time.

FAQ

Practical questions

Does the Today queue need setup per board?

No. It reads every synced board on its own.

Is this a separate task system?

No. Today and Focus are views of your Deck cards. Completing a card or changing a due date changes it on your server.

Do Focus sessions need Deckloud Pro?

No. The Today queue is free, and 3 Focus sessions a month are free on each device. Pro removes the limit.
