DueThread — Tasks & Follow-ups

Tasks, follow-ups and reminders in Chrome. See what you owe, what you’re waiting on and who to chase today. No account needed.

DueThread is a to-do list and follow-up tracker that lives in Chrome. Use it for the work you owe and for everything you are waiting on from other people: a signed contract, revised drawings, a reply to a quote. Each follow-up keeps the date that was promised separate from the date you will next chase, so a slipped deadline never drops out of sight. What you can do • Add a task or follow-up in one line. "fu @Alex revised drawings fri" records the person and sets Friday as the chase date. A preview shows how dates were read before you add anything. • Record each chase and each revised promise. The first promised date stays on record. • Mark a request received, or cancel it, and keep its history. • Group work into projects. DueThread can file new items into a project from the names you give it, and you can always move them. • Get separate reminders for deadlines and for chase dates. Choose gentle or persistent reminders, quiet hours and a morning summary. • See today's missed deadlines and the follow-ups to chase in one list. • Review what is overdue, what is ready to chase and what has arrived in a period you choose. • Copy a project status update to paste into an email or report. When a deliverable depends on several people • Ask each person for their input against the task it feeds, and link work that has to come first. • Each task shows how many of its inputs are in, with the inputs listed underneath and who owes them. • Get warned when an input is promised after the deadline it feeds, is overdue, or has no date agreed. • Record partial deliveries, and inputs that arrived but still need checking. • Free on 3 open tasks at a time. Tasks and follow-ups themselves are unlimited. DueThread Pro (US$29 a year, one payment, no subscription; try it free for 14 days) • Workflow tracking on every task. • The People view, with each person's promise record: how often they deliver by the date they give, and how late the rest usually are. DueThread then suggests chasing habitual late deliverers earlier. • One chase message per person, listing everything they owe you, ready to paste into email or chat. • Workflow templates: save a task with its usual inputs and create it again in one step, with dates counted back from the new deadline. • A timeline for each project and a printable project report you can save as PDF. • Unlocked with a licence key that DueThread checks on your computer. Nothing is sent anywhere. Capture without leaving the page • Open DueThread from the toolbar with Alt+Shift+D, or keep it open in Chrome's side panel next to any website. • Select text on a page, right-click, and add it as a task or follow-up with a link back to that page. • Type "dut", a space and your item in the address bar. Private by design • No account and no sign-in. Your tasks stay in this Chrome profile on this computer. • No ads, no analytics, and nothing is sent to any server. • It does not read the pages you visit or change your new-tab page. • Export a backup file at any time and import it on another computer. Good to know • Reminders appear while Chrome is running. A reminder missed while Chrome was closed shows when you next open it, within six hours. • There is no sync and no mobile app. • You choose your working days during setup. Public holidays are not excluded.
