Managing dozens of client project folders manually is a massive waste of time. Every single day, I found myself digging through layers of directories, backtracking, and losing track of active tasks. So, I built a custom, standalone desktop application to fix it forever!
In this video, I demonstrate my new custom To-Do List Manager and File Previewer. It instantly indexes client directories by year and month, lets me preview dashboards and charts with a single click, and opens the exact folder with a double-click. No more messy File Explorer. No more wasted time.
Watch until the end to see the upcoming features, including a smart sub-task checklist with real-time progress calculations!
