Action item tracker: every action with an owner and a date

A free action item tracker that flags any action without an owner or a due date, and anything overdue. Use it in your browser, copy open items, or download a CSV.

Every action gets an owner and a date. The tracker flags the ones that do not.

Use the tracker

Add each action, the owner and the due date. Missing owners and dates are flagged in red, and so is anything overdue. Tick items off when done.

Your list is saved in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere. Press Copy open items to paste them into chat, or Download CSV for a spreadsheet.

Rules that keep actions moving

  • Start with a verb. "Send," "draft," "ask." Not "pricing" or "screenshots."
  • One owner. A name, not a team.
  • A real date. Not "soon" or "next week."
  • Review it every meeting. Start with the open items. Close or re-date each one.

Pull actions out of messy notes

Have a transcript or rough notes? The meeting minutes generator pulls out the actions and tells you which ones have no owner or date.
