Riah To-Do
What is Riah To-Do?
Riah To-Do is a free Windows tray to-do list that opens beside the system clock. It is built for a short daily list: click the tray icon, write today's tasks, check them off, and click away. The core note stores data in one local JSON file with no account, cloud sync, or telemetry (public README, observed 2026-08-05).
Who is it for?
Riah To-Do is for Windows users who want a task note that appears where they already look and who find larger productivity apps too heavy for today's list. It also suits users who want optional board, AI-tool, or Obsidian-filing features without making those features mandatory for the tray note.
What it does not do
Riah To-Do is not a cloud-synced team planner, calendar, reminder platform, or cross-device task database. Its privacy promise is local storage, so users who need shared lists or server-side backups should choose a tool designed for those requirements.
FAQ
Is Riah To-Do a Windows tray to-do list by the clock?
Yes. The public repository describes it as a Windows tray to-do list by the clock: click the tray icon, write today, and click away.
Does the note need Node.js?
No for the core tray note. The public README says Windows PowerShell is enough for the note; Node.js 18+ is optional for the board page and AI tools.
Where are my tasks stored?
The default list is stored in one local JSON file under the user's application data directory. The README also documents options for pointing the file or directory somewhere else, including a synced folder.
Does Riah To-Do sync across computers?
Not as a built-in cloud service. The project explicitly says there is no sync. A user can choose a synced folder themselves, but that is an external storage choice rather than a Riah-hosted collaboration feature.
Honest comparison
Compared with a full task manager, Riah To-Do is faster and more local for a daily list; compared with a plain text file, it adds a tray surface, task interaction, and optional filing.
