# Dona

> Back-to-basics web to-do list with customizable lists and themes

Dona is a to-do list that runs in the browser, made by a three-person team that describes it as a back-to-basics app built around a fast interface. Tasks are grouped into lists that can each have an emoji and a color, and the web app's settings cover light, dark and black themes, a compact view and keyboard shortcuts you can reassign. An account is free to create, and the site lists no paid plan.

## Key features

- **Lists with emoji and colors:** Tasks are organized into lists, and each list can be given its own name, emoji and color. The onboarding text describes the lists as fully customizable.
- **Customizable keyboard shortcuts:** The shortcuts for creating a task, creating a list and switching between lists can be reassigned, and a setting shows the shortcut hints, hides them or reveals them on hover.
- **Light, dark and black themes:** The interface comes in light, dark and black themes, with an automatic option in the settings, plus a compact view for denser lists.
- **Due dates and notes:** A task can be scheduled with a due date and carry a written note. Settings offer three date formats and a choice of the day the week starts on.
- **Search and JSON export:** The web app's interface includes a search with a results view and an Export as JSON action alongside the actions for clearing and deleting a list.
- **Email or Google sign-in:** Accounts are created with an email address and password or with Continue with Google, and the interface language can be set to English or German.

## Good for

- People who want a plain to-do list in the browser
- Users who care about interface polish and theming
- Keyboard users who like to set their own shortcuts

## Worth knowing

- The site links only to the web app at app.dona.ai and lists no desktop or mobile apps.
- There is no pricing page: the site says only Try for free and Sign up for free, so any limits or future paid plans are undocumented.
- The marketing site is a homepage and an about page with a footer dated 2023, and has no help center, changelog or feature documentation.
- The site and the web app's interface text mention no reminders, recurring tasks or sharing with other people.
