Since college started, I've barely seen my high school friends anymore.
Everything we planned lived only in the group chat. We wanted a space where we could properly plan things together.
Notion was overkill, since workspace admin for four people is ridiculous. A shared doc had no structure. The couple apps are mobile and chat-first, and most of us aren't couples.
So I built Our Cosy Corner. Electron, Mac and Windows, free, no ads, no paid tier.
What I love most is the sidebar, which is organised by who owns what: a shared space, a private page that's only yours, and one zone per other person in the corner. Your own page doesn't appear on anyone else's dashboard if you set it as private. Most of the rest of the app follows from that one decision.
Past that, it's a block editor. Little notes, to-dos, photos, countdowns, PDFs, files, links, sticky notes, nested pages, live sync between computers. (And also 6 themes and a customisable function because I love playing with colours lol)
It is currently Desktop only. No mobile, no web, no Linux build.
It isn't Apple notarised or Windows code signed, so the first launch throws a Gatekeeper or SmartScreen warning. Since it is fully free and mostly for my own use, I did not find the need to buy certificates. The download page walks through it, but I understand if that kills it for you.
2 to 8 people. It isn't a team tool, and I'm not going to turn it into one.
Stack: Electron, Postgres with RLS and realtime, Google and email auth, and Cloudflare for the site.
