Your tasks. Your time. Your flow.
Apps like Notion and ClickUp overwhelm users with endless features, settings, and nested hierarchies that kill momentum.
Designed for enterprise teams, not individual students or freelancers. Cold, sterile interfaces that feel like work, not flow.
Tasks in one app, calendar in another, focus timer in a third. Context-switching destroys deep work and wastes 20+ min/day.
No app truly supports building daily habits and recurring systems. Routines are an afterthought, not a core feature.
A unified productivity system that combines task management, time-blocking, deep focus, and habit routines into one beautifully designed, human-first platform.
Rich metadata tasks with priorities, tags & deadlines
Visual time-blocking with drag & drop planning
Deep work sessions with focus tracking & stats
Automated recurring systems for daily habits
Productivity insights, streaks & performance data
Long-term milestone tracking with progress rings
Thick 3px black borders, hard offset shadows, raw structural honesty. No gradients, no blur — just bold, confident UI.
Wobbly borders, sketch-like elements, and doodle philosophy. UI feels like a high-quality paper journal.
Buttons press down on click (shadow → 0px). Cards lift on hover (+6px shadow). Every interaction feels physical.
Three-column layout: Navigation · Canvas · Details. Ruled-paper time-blocking column. Dense but breathable.
Client syncs every 30s. Optimistic UI updates with rollback on failure.
RESTful endpoints with versioning. OpenAPI docs auto-generated by FastAPI.
Full offline support via IndexedDB. Syncs when connection restores.
JWT tokens, bcrypt hashing, CORS policies, rate limiting on all endpoints.
Add task with title, priority, tags, due date, and estimated time. Attach to a project or goal.
Drag task onto the time-blocking canvas. Assign a time slot in your daily planner view.
Launch Pomodoro timer linked to the task. Enter deep work mode with distraction blocking.
Mark tasks complete. Log focus time. Update goal milestones. Maintain streaks.
Review daily/weekly productivity scores, focus hours, completion rates, and habit streaks.
Implementing optimistic UI updates with proper rollback when the backend sync fails. Handling race conditions between local and server state was complex.
CORS configuration, JWT token refresh flows, and keeping TypeScript types in sync with Pydantic schemas across the stack.
The three-column neo-brutalist layout needed to gracefully collapse on mobile without losing the design identity and tactile feel.
Building a smooth drag-and-drop time-blocking interface with snapping, collision detection, and undo/redo support.
Rendering complex productivity charts (heatmaps, streaks, time distributions) performantly without heavy chart libraries.
Smart task scheduling based on energy levels, past performance, and deadline proximity. AI suggests optimal time blocks.
Two-way sync with Google Calendar and Outlook. Import events, export scheduled tasks, unified calendar view.
React Native app for iOS and Android. Full feature parity with offline-first architecture and push notifications.
Shared projects, team task boards, real-time collaboration, and role-based access for study groups and teams.
