The Progress view gives you a concise, visual snapshot of how your week is going without leaving Cody. It surfaces the data already embedded in your tasks — completion timestamps, creation dates, and urgency levels — and turns it into actionable indicators: a rolling chart, weekly totals, a streak counter, and an overload warning when your plate is getting too full.

​
Accessing the Progress View

Open the assistant panel by clicking your pet (or pressing Win+Shift+C), then select the Progress tab from the navigation bar inside the panel. No additional setup or sync is required — the view is populated entirely from AppState.tasks stored locally.

​
7-Day Completion Chart

The chart plots the number of tasks you completed on each of the last seven days, including today. Completion is determined by the completedAt field on the Task interface: 
export interface Task {
  // ...other fields
  completedAt?: string  // ISO 8601 timestamp set when status changes to 'done'
  status: TaskStatus    // 'pending' | 'done'
}
Each bar in the chart represents one calendar day. A task counts for the day whose date matches the date portion of its completedAt timestamp, using your local timezone. Tasks completed more than seven days ago do not appear in the chart but still count toward your streak.

​
Weekly Stats

Below the chart, two counters summarize the current calendar week (Monday through Sunday):
  • Completed this week — total tasks with a completedAt in the current week.
  • Created this week — total tasks with a createdAt in the current week, regardless of status.
Comparing these two numbers tells you whether you are reducing your backlog (completions > creations), keeping up (roughly equal), or accumulating debt (creations outpacing completions).

​
Streak Tracking

Your streak is the number of consecutive calendar days on which you completed at least one task. The counter resets to zero if a full day passes with no completions.
Use the streak as a lightweight habit-building tool. Even on a light day, completing one small task — like filing a note or replying to a pending email suggestion from Cody — keeps your streak alive and builds momentum over time. Aim for a consistent streak rather than a high single-day count.

​
Overload Alert

The overload alert appears when the number of pending tasks in urgent or high priority — including any that Cody has automatically escalated because they are overdue or due within 24 hours — exceeds an internal threshold. When the alert is shown, Cody recommends reviewing your task list and considering postponing or delegating lower-priority items.
Cody automatically escalates task priority as due dates approach:
  • Tasks due within 3 days are escalated to high priority.
  • Tasks due within 24 hours are escalated to urgent priority.
  • Tasks past their dueAt date are marked as Overdue.
The overload alert fires when the total count of urgent and high-priority pending tasks crosses the alert threshold, giving you an early signal before the situation becomes unmanageable.

​
Day-Status Traffic Light

A color-coded indicator appears in the top bar of the assistant panel at all times, not just in the Progress view. It reflects the current state of your day at a glance:
ColorMeaningCondition
🟢 GreenUnder controlNo urgent or overdue tasks; no meetings starting within 30 minutes
🟡 AmberAttention neededAt least one task is due today, or a meeting starts within 30 minutes
🔴 RedAction requiredAt least one task is urgent or overdue
The traffic light is updated in real time as tasks change state or as meetings approach, so it always reflects your actual situation without needing a manual refresh.

​
Data Storage

All progress data is derived from the tasks array in AppState, which is persisted locally to %APPDATA%/cody-desktop-assistant/cody-data.json. No data is sent to external services. A daily backup is automatically written to cody-data.backup.json in the same folder, so historical completion data is preserved even if the primary file is ever corrupted.

Export your tasks

You can export all tasks to CSV (compatible with Excel) or back up the full app state to JSON from Settings → Export. This is useful for reviewing long-term trends outside of Cody.

Recurring task completions

When you complete a recurring task (daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly), the current instance is marked done and a new instance is automatically created. Each completion counts individually toward your streak and weekly stats.
