Write your tasks freely. Click a line to start timing it. Leave the line and it renders beautifully. That's the whole idea.
Most tools demand your attention.Built for people who write tasks the same way they think — freely, quickly, without ceremony.
This one earns it.
01 — Focus mode
Click any line to edit it as plain text. Leave the line — it renders into a heading, a tagged task, a checkbox. No toolbar, no mode switch, no friction.
Use ### Name for a section. Name | task for a one-liner. [ ] for a checkbox. Write naturally — the tool understands.
02 — Task timer
Click any line in your notes and hit Start. The timer runs. Pause it when interrupted. Stop it — and the time is logged, appended to the line, and grouped under the right name in your Time Log.
The status strip elevates with an amber glow when you're actively timing. The vertical TIMER label and amber spine signal the running state without shouting at you.
03 — Name & project tagging
Two natural patterns — no new syntax to learn. Use ### Name to open a section with multiple tasks under one person or project. Use Name | task for a quick one-liner.
Both render the same amber label. Both group correctly in the Time Log. Works equally well for people names and project codes.
04 — Time log
Every completed task is grouped by person or project, with a total time per group. At the end of the day — or a billing period — click Copy for a clean plain-text report ready to paste anywhere.
No export wizard. No CSV. Just structured text that makes sense to a human.
05 — AI tidy
Write fast and messy — that's how thinking works. When you're ready, click ✦ Tidy. Claude reads your list, fixes spelling and grammar, removes duplicates, and makes every task start with an action verb.
Your notation — checkboxes, name tags, headings, bullets — is preserved exactly. Only the prose gets polished.
Most productivity tools are built to hold data. This one was built to be used daily — which means it has to feel good to open, not just functional to interact with.
The palette is parchment editorial: warm ivory page, pure white surfaces, warm near-black text that reads like ink. The amber accent appears only where it earns its place — active timers, name tags, the running state spine.
The vertical TIMER label. The elevated status strip. The Typora focus mode. These aren't features. They're the reason you'll open the tab again tomorrow.
No account. No email. Just a username and a PIN.
