The home dashboard focuses on motivation and clarity at a glance. Instead of overwhelming users with long task lists, the interface surfaces a few key indicators that reinforce progress and highlight daily priorities. These elements provide immediate visual feedback, helping users stay consistent while making it easy to see what needs attention today.

Key features include:

• Daily login streak — encourages consistency and reinforces habit-building by showing how many days in a row the user has engaged with the app.

• Today’s tasks overview — provides a quick snapshot of daily progress so users can immediately understand what has been completed and what remains.

• Goal progress tracking — visual progress bars help users see how small daily actions contribute to larger personal goals.

The account settings page allows users to customize their experience and manage basic profile information. Because KanDo is designed to support consistent daily engagement, personalization and notification preferences help users tailor the app to their habits without adding unnecessary complexity.

Key features focus on identity, personalization, and reminder control, giving users flexibility while keeping the interface simple and easy to navigate.

Key features include:

• Upload profile picture — allows users to personalize their account and create a sense of ownership within the app.

• Change display name — gives users the flexibility to update how their identity appears within the platform, particularly when interacting with shared features such as friends or accountability partners.

• Copyable profile link — enables users to quickly share their profile with others, supporting social accountability and collaboration features without requiring complex friend search systems.

• Theme color selection — allows users to customize the visual appearance of the app. Personalizing color themes can increase user comfort and engagement, especially for users who prefer specific visual environments.

• Notification preferences — lets users control daily reminders and goal notifications, helping reinforce habits while ensuring users can manage the frequency of alerts to avoid notification fatigue.

The Goals feature connects long-term aspirations with the daily task system in KanDo. Inspired by the behavior model described in Atomic Habits, the design encourages users to break large goals into small, achievable actions. By translating abstract goals into daily tasks, users can focus on consistent progress rather than feeling overwhelmed by the end result.

KanDo supports this process by allowing users to create goals and automatically generate small, actionable steps that appear within their task boards. This helps users maintain momentum while keeping their long-term progress visible.

Key features include:

• View goal progress and details — Users can quickly see how much progress they’ve made toward a goal through visual progress bars and target dates. This helps reinforce motivation and provides a clear connection between daily actions and long-term outcomes.

• Add goal using AI — Users can describe a goal and receive automatically generated tasks designed to move them toward that outcome. This reduces the cognitive effort required to plan steps and helps users start taking action immediately.

• Edit or delete goals — Goals can evolve over time, so users can update details or remove goals as priorities change.

• Edit goal privacy settings — Users can choose whether goals are public or private, giving them control over which goals are visible to others.

• Add friends to goals — Shared goals allow users to collaborate with friends or partners. While each user completes tasks on their own board, both users’ progress contributes to the shared goal, creating a sense of accountability and teamwork.

The Tasks page is the core workspace of KanDo, where users interact with their daily responsibilities. The interface is designed to make tasks easy to view, organize, and complete, while supporting different productivity styles. Because people with executive dysfunction often struggle with overwhelming task lists, the layout prioritizes clarity and flexible viewing options.

Users can switch between a board view and list view, filter tasks to focus on what matters most, and quickly create new tasks when something needs to be captured. These features help reduce friction and make it easier for users to take action.

Key features include:

• Board or list view — Users can view tasks in either a Kanban-style board or a traditional list. The board view supports visual progress and task movement, while the list view provides a more familiar structure for users who prefer a linear format.

• Task filtering — Filters allow users to narrow tasks by categories such as due date, priority, or source. This helps users focus on the most relevant tasks without being overwhelmed by everything on their board.

• Create new tasks — Users can quickly add new tasks from the Tasks page. Making task creation fast and accessible ensures ideas and responsibilities can be captured immediately before they are forgotten.

The Integrations page allows users to connect KanDo with tools they already use in their daily workflow. Many people manage tasks across multiple platforms such as calendars, school systems, and productivity apps. Rather than requiring users to manually recreate tasks, KanDo syncs with these tools so information can flow into the task board automatically.

This helps reduce friction and ensures the app fits naturally into a user’s existing productivity ecosystem.

Key features include:

• Connect or disconnect apps — Users can easily enable or remove integrations, giving them control over which tools contribute tasks or events to their KanDo workspace.

• Search for apps to connect — A searchable list of supported integrations makes it easy for users to find and connect the tools they rely on most.

• Request new integrations — If a desired app is not currently supported, users can submit a request to have it added. This feature helps prioritize future integrations and ensures the platform continues evolving based on user needs.

• Automatic background syncing — Connected apps automatically sync tasks and events in the background, ensuring users always see up-to-date information without needing to manually update their boards.

The Friends/Support System feature introduces a social layer to KanDo that helps reinforce motivation and accountability. Research on habit formation and goal completion shows that people are significantly more likely to follow through on goals when they have a support system or accountability partner.

Rather than creating a traditional social media experience, this feature focuses specifically on goal encouragement and progress sharing. Users can connect with trusted friends or family members to share updates, celebrate milestones, and stay motivated throughout their goal journey.

Key features include:

• Activity feed — Users can post updates about their goals and see progress updates from their friends. This creates a shared space for encouragement and accountability.

• Friend connections — Users can search for friends, send requests, and manage their support network. Friends can be added through username search or by sharing a profile link.

• Friend requests and management — Users can accept or decline friend requests, giving them full control over who has access to their support network.

• View friend goal progress — Users can view their friends’ active goals and recent task activity, helping them stay engaged with each other's progress.

• Encouragement notifications — Friends can send a quick “cheer” to show support for someone’s goal progress. This triggers a notification that provides positive reinforcement and motivation.

• Privacy controls — Because goals and personal progress can be sensitive, users can choose which goals or tasks are visible to others, ensuring the social experience remains supportive rather than intrusive.
