The Problem
Everyone has a to-do list. Most people hate theirs.
Not because the tasks are impossible — but because the list itself becomes the problem. You open it up, see forty things staring back at you, and your brain locks up. Which one first? The urgent one? The easy one? The one you've been putting off for a week?
You spend ten minutes deciding, lose your momentum, and end up doing none of them. Or worse — you do the comfortable one that didn't really need doing, and the important stuff slides another day.
This is analysis paralysis, and it's the silent killer of productivity. The issue was never your ability to do the work. It was choosing where to start.
The Solution
What if your to-do list just told you what to do next?
Not a vague suggestion. Not a sorted list you still have to pick from. One task. Right now. Based on how much time you actually have.
That's Frogcake. You tell it how much time you have, and the algorithm analyzes your tasks to find the single best thing to work on.
🎯 The Algorithm
The algorithm doesn't just sort your list — it weighs multiple factors to find the optimal task for right now. It balances urgency with sustainability.
You customize the weights. The algorithm adapts to how you work.
No scrolling through a list. No agonizing over what matters most. Frogcake already figured that out.
How It Works
When you add a task to Frogcake, you can give it a priority level, a joy rating, a time estimate, a deadline, a category, tags, notes, and more. You don't have to fill in everything — but the more you tell it, the smarter the algorithm gets.
When you're ready to work, you tell Frogcake how much time you have. It immediately filters out anything that won't fit. Then the algorithm finds your best next task.
You get one task. A built-in timer keeps you on track. When you're done, you come back for the next one.
Why "Frogcake"?
There's a saying attributed to Mark Twain: "Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day."
The idea: do the hard thing first. Get it behind you. Watch your day get better from there.
But sometimes you need the opposite. Start with something you enjoy — eat the cake — and let that momentum carry you forward.
Frog + Cake = Frogcake.
The algorithm is the default — it finds the best task automatically. But if you ever want to override it, you can choose Eat the Frog (hardest first) or Eat the Cake (easiest first). It's weird, it's memorable, and once you know the story, it makes perfect sense.
More Than a To-Do App
Under the hood, Frogcake is packed with features that scale from casual personal use to serious professional workloads:
Flexible task management
Create one-off tasks or set up repeating ones — daily, weekly, monthly, with configurable frequencies. Build task hierarchies with parent and subtasks. "Ice" a task to shelve it temporarily, or "punt" it to push it down the road.
Multi-user support
Multiple people can use the same Frogcake pond. Assign tasks to specific users, filter views by person, and track completions across the pond.
Time tracking built in
Every task gets a countdown timer based on your estimate. If you go over, the timer keeps running — so you always know the real time investment. For professionals, Frogcake converts elapsed time to billable increments automatically.
Rich filtering and search
Sort and filter your pending tasks by priority, joy level, category, assigned user, or keyword. Find exactly what you need without wading through everything else.
Productivity statistics
Track tasks completed and time spent across any window — today, this week, this month, this year, or all time. Export your data to CSV whenever you want it.
Customizable to the core
Adjust punt durations, algorithm weights, categories, and display preferences. Frogcake adapts to how you work — not the other way around.
Who It's For
Frogcake works for anyone with a to-do list and a tendency to stare at it.
If you've ever thought, "I have so much to do that I can't figure out where to start" — that's exactly the problem Frogcake solves.
Your to-do list shouldn't paralyze you.
It should mobilize you.
