What is Deadline Guardian?
Deadline Guardian is a notification tool designed to keep you informed about upcoming deadlines based on their importance level. Rather than sending alerts for every task with a due date, it prioritises notifications so you focus on what matters most. The tool helps you avoid deadline surprises by giving critical deadlines immediate attention whilst allowing less urgent ones to remain in the background. It's suited for people managing multiple projects, students juggling coursework, and professionals who need intelligent filtering rather than notification overload.
