What Juno is
Juno is a personal daily planner for people whose work is scattered across tasks, calendars, emails, issues, and meetings. You gather commitments, decide what matters, and shape a day you can actually finish.
Use Juno to build a daily planning routine:
- Capture tasks from your own notes, email, calendar, and work tools.
- Plan against the time you really have with calendar-based planning, not an optimistic empty day.
- Focus on one task at a time with focus mode and track what actually happened.
- Shutdown with the shutdown ritual so tomorrow starts from a clean state.
Your first 30 minutes
- Sign up on juno.do and confirm your email.
- Open the onboarding flow and complete the calendar connection step (skip if you only want tasks for now).
- Add 5–10 tasks you already know matter this week. Use the
+button at the top of any column or press C while hovering a column. - Open Plan in the toolbar to start the morning ritual. Review unfinished work, choose priorities, and schedule tasks around your calendar before confirming the plan.
- End the day with Shutdown to mark progress and decide what rolls over.
What to do first
- Pick a primary context (Work, Personal, Studies — whatever fits) in Settings -> Contexts so new tasks default to the right bucket.
- Add time estimates to the 2–3 most important tasks. This unlocks calendar-aware planning.
- Connect a calendar in Settings -> Calendars so meetings show up next to your tasks.
- Connect one source of outside work in Settings -> Integrations, such as Gmail, Outlook, Linear, GitHub, Jira, Asana, or Todoist. Start with the integrations overview if you are deciding which one matters first.
Start small
- Start with a few commitments you already know need your time.
- Try a morning ritual with those tasks; your list does not need to be complete.
- Connect one integration, use it in a plan, then add others as needed.
- Check your meetings before adding work. Estimates, schedules, and calendar projections are how Juno tells you whether the plan fits.
