Anchor - List three tasks. Get it done
Sometimes when I had too much thought in my mind, I get an analysis paralysis. I cannot decide anything because too much what-if thinking loops in my head.
For example, I saw my house like a wrecked ship and I still have many things to do with my computer like learning, writing an article, experimenting, or playing game. Just thinking about it makes me numb and I feel like a computer disconnected from power source.
Along with my journey in learning React and Next.js, I want to make an app that solve real-world issue, at least for me. So I made Anchor.
How it works
Anchor lets you define three tasks to be done. Your only job is to get it done, but don't forget to check the tasks you have finished.
The reset button is available to help you realign your plan if somewhere in the middle of your work, you just remember someting related needs to be done.
Anchor will praise for your effort when you finish all tasks and suggest you to take a break 🙌
Dark mode
Anchor supports dark color scheme and it will changed automatically based on your device settings.
Progressive Web App
Anchor is a Progressive Web App (PWA) built using React and Next.js. It can be installed to your phone, tablet, and desktop. Yes, you're not reading it wrong. Anchor is fully supported to be installed on any device. Here's how Anchor looks like on Debian 13 with GNOME desktop.
Preserving privacy
The data processed by Anchor is stored locally on your device and is not sent to any server.
Responsive design
Anchor is designed with mobile-first in mind. Phone is the most used device in our daily activities. So, I think that it would make sense if I made an app that easy to use on phone.

Offline mode
Anchor also support offline mode so you don't need to worry when you're in an off-grid area like in a private island 🏝️
Install Anchor
You can install Anchor or any PWA website by searching something like "Install app" or "Add to home screen".
When using Brave browser or any Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, or Vivaldi), find "Install <app_name>" button on the address bar to install Anchor to your device.
To install Anchor on phone, open page settings on your browser and look for "Add to home screen" option.
Open-source
Anchor is open-source app and you can see its source code on GitLab. Feel free to open an issue if you find something's not working or suggest a feature you want to be available on Anchor.
