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.
- In the welcome flow, connect an external calendar if you want to see your existing meetings. Choose Open Juno when you’re ready. Your private Juno calendar is ready to use.
- 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. - Start the morning ritual with Plan my first day on the planner invitation or Plan in the toolbar. 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. That helps you see what fits when planning with your calendar.
- 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.
