Use case
Daily errands without the mental load
Pick up prescription, return library books, call the bank, buy birthday card — life admin never stops. TaskKoala turns your errand list into a tree of leaves and picks one thing at a time so you actually get through it.
Why errand lists linger
You keep a mental list of small tasks that never feel urgent enough to do right now — until three of them become problems. A shared notes app or paper list helps you remember, but not decide what to do in the twenty minutes you have free.
Plant a tree called “Errands” or “Life admin”. Each task is a leaf. Anything time-bound — prescription expiring, appointment to book — gets marked high priority. Open focus on your lunch break and knock through leaves one by one.

Plant a tree
Name one tree for this area of life. Free includes one tree; paid plans give you unlimited trees for separate projects.

Add leaves & priorities
Drop in everything on your mind. Mark time-sensitive work as high priority so it surfaces first.

Enter focus mode
Let the koala pick one leaf at a time — high priority first, then a fair random choice from what remains.

Tips for daily errands in TaskKoala
- Quick capture — add a leaf the moment you think of it, from focus or the leaves page.
- Batch with focus — twenty minutes of focus mode can clear more leaves than an hour of list-staring.
- Not today for bad timing — wrong moment? Defer without deleting the task.
- One tree is enough — the free plan’s single tree works perfectly for personal errands.
