If you are like me, you carry more commitments in your head than your mind was built for. Now, you drop them into Deadlinewatch in seconds. From there you keep the shape of your deadlines current as circumstances change. Promote what just jumped the line, quiet what can wait, and see how your upcoming weeks shape up.
As deadlines are met or put on hold, they're off the list and you pick up the next one from the top. There is virtually nothing to learn. The interface is intuitive, and your existing workflows stay intact. Deadlinewatch sits alongside them doing the job it was specifically built to do.
Below is a quick overview of the typical loop. For a closer look, with screenshots of the tool, go to the demo page.
The tool only works if you add the deadlines. A title and a date is all that is required, at minimum. Most deadlines take under 20 seconds to add, and you can use the provided spreadsheet to import in bulk. Optionally, group them by a stream, set them to repeat, change when the reminders are sent, or add subtasks, notes, and a description.

Your home base. This is where you go to see and manage every active deadline. They are listed soonest first, grouped into Priority, Overdue, and Upcoming sections. Every control you need sits right on the card, so you can update the deadline without ever leaving the list. A Pressure gauge across the top shows the workload in the next 90 days, so a heavy week is visible today. You also get up to three plain observations about your upcoming work each morning.

The planning view. Same information, shown differently. The Curve shows where the load spikes over 90 days, 6 months, or 1 year. The Heatmap lays those weeks out as a grid and pinpoints the clusters. The darker the color, the more deadlines converge around that date. Drag a deadline to a new date and the shape redraws with it.

If a deadline is not actively worked on, it falls into one of two categories: On Hold or Completed. Deadlines On Hold have gone cold, but you would rather keep them than delete them. They can be reactivated anytime. Completed deadlines are the ones you delivered, kept as an archive. Each has its own home in the sidebar, away from the main views. Nothing gets lost or forgotten, but only what matters stays in view.
