What is Today?

Today is Tandem’s suggested plan for your day. Instead of staring at a full task list and deciding what to work on, Tandem generates a prioritized view each morning based on your deadlines, priorities, and workload.

How it works

Tandem looks at all your active tasks and sorts them into three buckets:
  • Must do — tasks flagged must-do that are due today or overdue
  • Suggested — good-to-do tasks Tandem recommends for today based on deadlines and priority
  • Review — tasks worth keeping an eye on — coming up soon or worth reconsidering
Today’s plan is generated fresh each day and cached so it’s fast to load.

Accessing Today

Click Today in the task list filter, or from the CLI:
tandem today
The CLI shows your must-dos, suggested tasks, and Tandem’s reasoning for the day’s plan.

When Today updates

Today regenerates each calendar day. If you complete tasks or add new ones mid-day, the list doesn’t automatically change — but you can refresh it to get an updated suggestion.

Tips

  • Keep must-do tasks honest. If everything is must-do, nothing is. Today works best when must-do is reserved for things that genuinely can’t slip.
  • Check Today first thing. It’s designed to be your starting point, not something you check after you’ve already decided what to work on.
