A day-sized system, not a to-do list
One large. Three medium. Five small. That's the whole day.
Rolyx organizes your life by role, caps a day at nine sized tasks, and runs on habits with a floor that actually holds. It works completely offline, with no account required.
Why yet another to-do app
Most task apps have no ceiling. Rolyx does. On purpose.
An unbounded list can only ever grow faster than it shrinks, so every day ends "behind". Rolyx locks the size of a day at nine tasks across three sizes, ranks your work by the role it belongs to, and helps you build habits one at a time.
The methodology
Six ideas, one system
Roles
Every task, habit and project belongs to exactly one role: Parent, Employee, Friend, etc.

One Large, three Medium, five Small tasks. Nine slots, sized by effort. These caps are a ceiling to make sure you're not agreeing to too much every day.
Read more →Capture & Someday
Jot down ideas, tasks, and notes on the go. They get dumped in that day's inbox. Someday holds things you haven't committed to yet, until you decide to.
Read more →Floor & Target habits
Every habit gets two numbers: a target (the ideal week) and a floor (what you refuse to go below). Missing floor is what the system watches.

The ritual: clear the inbox, check every role and habit floor, plan the next week, lock it in a calendar. Same steps every time. It's there to let you know when something is being neglected.
Read more →System Pause
For a genuinely disrupted stretch (illness, a newborn, moving, etc) one toggle suspends the system entirely and leaves only the habit floor standing until you are ready to come back.

Your data lives in your browser. That's the whole app.
No account, no server, no network call required to use Rolyx. EVERYTHING is stored on your device, and it's a complete install from the first task you add. Sign in with a magic link and a synced copy shows up on your other devices. Local storage stays the source of truth; sync is a second reader of it, never the owner.
