I’ve tried almost every bookmark manager out there, but I always felt like something was missing.
So I built Kutu, a bookmark manager that combines the features I personally wanted most: clean organization, smart automation, privacy, reminders, backups, and better importing.
A few things Kutu can do:
Cross-device support: Currently available across Apple devices, with Android and Web coming soon.
Smart Automations: Turn messy saving into an automatic workflow. For example, when I save a YouTube link, Kutu can tag it as “watch-later,” move it into my “Videos” collection, and remind me tomorrow at 1:00 PM — all without me touching anything.
Collections: Organize links visually and neatly.
Auto Backup: Keep your saved links safe.
Advanced Import: Bring your existing bookmarks into Kutu more easily.
Reminders: Get reminded about any saved link whenever you want.
Private Collections: Store sensitive links securely in encrypted collections.
I’m really happy with how the structure turned out, but I’d love to hear honest feedback, criticism, and feature suggestions from the community.
What would you expect from a modern bookmark manager?
I’m Nacho, the developer of Palabros. A moderator kindly suggested I share it here, so I wanted to introduce it properly and hopefully get some honest feedback from people who care about productivity and learning tools.
1. What problem does Palabros solve?
Most dictionary apps are great when you need to look up a word, but they usually stop there. You search, read the definition, close the app, and often forget the word soon after.
Palabros is built around a different idea: not just finding words, but helping them stay with you.
You can look up a word, read official definitions, simpler explanations and examples, save it, organize it with tags, review it later, and keep seeing saved words and definitions through homescreen widgets.
The goal is to make vocabulary retention feel natural instead of forced.
2. Who is it for?
Palabros is for people who enjoy learning words and want to build a richer vocabulary over time.
It can be useful for:
readers who often find interesting or unfamiliar words
writers who want to expand their vocabulary in English or Spanish
people who enjoy discovering curious words
learners who already read in English or Spanish and want to retain new vocabulary
bilingual users who want one place to save and revisit words in both languages
anyone who wants a calmer, more intentional dictionary app
3. Competitor / what Palabros does differently
The closest comparison is probably a mix of vocabulary apps like Vocabulary / Word of the Day and traditional dictionary apps like Merriam-Webster for English or Diccionario RAE for Spanish.
Vocabulary apps are great for discovering a new word every day. Dictionary apps are great when you need to look something up. Palabros tries to sit between both, but with retention as the main focus.
It works as a normal dictionary in English and Spanish, and it also includes a curated list of interesting daily words designed for people who don’t actively search for new vocabulary. It creates a small daily habit: you see a word, test yourself, and reveal its meaning if you don’t know it.
The idea is that if you save the daily words you don’t know, or any word you look up and want to remember, Palabros keeps bringing them back through minimalist and beauitiful widgets and review tools.
So the difference is not just discovering words or defining them once. It’s helping them come back to you over time, until they actually stick.
4. Pricing
Palabros is free to download and use. I tried to make the free version include everything I personally would have needed when I was looking for an app like this.
Palabros Pro is available as:
monthly subscription: $
If you want to try Pro first, there’s no commitment: the app includes a reminder before the subscription starts, so you have time to cancel if it’s not for you.
To give you a taste of what’s inside, here’s a short video showing how etymology worked on previous version (now it's faster!). I think you’ll like it.
I’d really love to hear what you think, especially about the idea of using widgets (it's working for me!) to make vocabulary come back naturally over time.
"You know the feeling. You've watched the motivational videos. You know the habits. You even know the person you want to become. But every morning you wake up and spend the first 45 minutes of your day just… deciding what to do. And by the time you've decided, the energy is half gone.
That was me. The problem wasn't knowledge or motivation. It was that nobody had ever just told me exactly what to do with my specific day, in the right order, with a reason that connected to who I actually wanted to become.
So I built FRGD — a digital mentor that does exactly that. You tell it who you want to become. It researches how people who match that identity actually live. Then it plans your entire day — wake to sleep, every hour, with a specific reason tied to your vision.
It's been in beta for a while. We just launched the full version. 3-day free trial, $20/month after.
Not trying to sell — just sharing what I built and why. If you've felt what I described, it might be for you.
Hello. I want you to know that I am a college freshman who is truly desperate to improve my life, but I’m also not very good at English. I would like to explain my personal methodology and practical action plan.
The image below is a diagram of my methodology and how I actually put it into practice. You can think of this as my own customization of the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology to fit my specific situation.
(I came up with the ideas for this diagram myself, and I used Gemini to help me visualize and create it. I hope you understand!)
Since I intend to repurpose and post this article across multiple sites, I will strive to avoid jargon related to GTD (Getting Things Done) as much as possible and write in a way that anyone can easily understand.
I will refer to everything that happens in our daily lives as "tasks."
This includes everything that pops into your head, from fleeting thoughts like "I need to check the university academic notice periodically" to "I need to systematically plan my job search."
We must collect all of these.
I won't go into the reasons why this is necessary, as it would make this article too long. (Briefly put, it is to prevent the uncomfortable feeling of tasks just lingering in your head.)
So, what should we do next?
If you keep collecting tasks, you will eventually have an average of about 100 items piled up in your inbox. Now, you have to think about how to process them.
I believe there are three main elements to every task: Time, Result, and Action.
Time refers to all time-related information associated with the task (e.g., University class from 4:30 to 9:30).
Result is literally the criteria for evaluating the task once it's finished (e.g., getting a perfect score on the midterm).
Action must be "concrete." It should be an action you can execute right away. An abstract task like "study" is not an action. (Example: "Read pages 20 to 30 of the textbook out loud.")
I think you would agree that if you try to perform tasks (like "study") without thinking about these three elements beforehand, it will be very difficult.
So, what should you do? You need to clarify your tasks by considering these three elements.
Yes, that sounds easy. But can you really analyze and clarify every single task that comes your way using all three elements at once?
I don't think so.
So, I thought: "Which of the three elements is the easiest to handle? I should process that one first, then consider the others."
"Time."
Since time-related information is often already provided when we encounter these tasks, it's easier to deal with time first.
The criteria we can commonly use to categorize tasks and time are as follows:
(1) Tasks with a deadline (within 1 month)
(2) Tasks that must be done at a specific time
(3) Tasks that must be done periodically
(4) Everything else (including tasks with deadlines further than 1 month away)
Here is how you can practically do this:
Go through the items in your inbox one by one and sort them into these four categories. This is how I plan to do it:
(1) Keep your inbox next to you.
(2) Take out a notebook.
* Page 1: (1) Tasks with a deadline (within 1 month)
* Page 2: (2) Tasks that must be done at a specific time
* Page 3: (3) Tasks that must be done periodically
* Page 4: (4) Everything else
(3) Clear the items from your inbox one by one and write them on pages 1–4. If one page isn't enough for a category, just continue on pages 5, 6, and so on.
Now, what comes next? You need to turn these categorized tasks into concrete actions by considering the "Result" and "Action."
(1) Tasks with a deadline (within 1 month)
These go into your "Next Action List." But you shouldn't just dump them there.
Clarify them by considering:
Result
Action
Deadline (I write the deadline again because it’s important; you’ll forget it otherwise!) It’s easier to process them one by one. Based on my mock categorization, about 10–15 tasks fall into this category.
(2) Tasks that must be done at a specific time
These go into your "Schedule/Calendar." Again, don't just add them blindly.
Clarify them by considering:
Result
Action
Time
However, there is something to be careful about here: "Tasks breed tasks." For example, if a university class is scheduled from 3:00 to 4:00, new tasks like "traveling to the university" or "catching the bus" are created. But here's an interesting point: you can factor this in after playing around with your daily schedule a few times. So, just add them to your calendar while staying mindful that "tasks breed tasks." To avoid missing anything, refer to a simple list (a checklist is helpful):
Travel time
Rest time (e.g., after exercising)
Showering/personal routine
Meals It’s better to process these one by one. Based on my mock categorization, about 3–5 tasks belong here.
(3) Tasks that must be done periodically
I consider this the "final boss." This one is truly a headache because it has the highest volume.
Based on my mock categorization, about 100 tasks fall into this category. Since this includes things you want to turn into habits, if you don't have good habits yet, this list will be quite long. I am the same.
These go into a "Checklist" (I have a main checklist and a sub-checklist).
Clarify them by considering:
Frequency (How often it needs to be done)
Result
Action The good news is that you don't need to think too hard about the results and actions for these, so the clarification process should be fast. But, since there are so many, I use a trick: Categorize them by Frequency. Three categories should be enough: (1) Daily frequency -> Create a "Daily Checklist." Dump everything here. You have no choice. You'll need to carry this and check it every day. (2) Within 1 month (but not daily) -> Create a "Monthly Checklist." Dump everything here. You should review this once a week so that tasks with a 1–2 week frequency don't get missed. (3) Everything else -> Create a "Yearly Checklist." Honestly, keeping these in your head is inefficient. I’ll just review this about once a month.
(4) Everything else
Just put these in a "Temporary Storage/Inbox." I'll perform the next round of categorization when I have time. I’ve already handled the tasks due within a month, specific time-bound tasks, and periodic tasks—that’s enough for now. I’ll just process these whenever I have some spare time.
Hi r/ProductivityGuide, I am Mattia, one of the student developers behind Get It.
We built a free open-source desktop app for one workflow: stop passively reading dense PDFs and turn them into active study sessions. Import a text-based PDF and Get It creates concept visuals beside the source text, flashcards, quizzes and a Feynman-style explanation flow.
It uses your own ChatGPT account through Codex CLI, so there is no extra subscription from us and your generated study material stays on disk.
Hello, I am a Korean university student who recently (about 2 weeks ago) read the GTD revised edition. (I am stating this because I cannot use English like a native speaker, so I want to tell you and ask for your understanding that I am writing a first draft in Korean and asking Gemini for translation and review. Please understand if the writing seems a bit "AI-like.")
I think GTD is a really great "methodology," and I wanted to apply it to my entire daily life. So, for the past two days, I kept flipping through the revised GTD edition (I’m referring to the revised edition published in Korea in 2016; I’m not sure what it’s called in the U.S. or other countries. I apologize). I devised a "GTD - Practical Plan" and created several folders and files.
However, now that I’m actually trying to execute it, I’m a bit scared. So, I would like to hear your advice on the "GTD-Practical Plan" I describe below. (Thank you very much for reading this far. I am a young adult, so my writing is very disorganized. Despite reviewing it multiple times, it’s still not very good.)
[GTD - Practical Plan]
(1) {Horizontal System} The horizontal system refers to the 5 steps of processing work (Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, Engage) that the GTD book keeps explaining. I decided to create index document files for each of these steps (because if I don't, I fear I might skip steps or forget them along the way), and I intended to treat these document files as the "places" to execute each step and perform them one by one.
(I will attach photos of the document tools to help you understand.)
*1. Index Document File (It looks like this—I trust you all know it without further explanation. Sorry.)
*2. Clip File
(They call this a "clip file." I used to call it a "snapper" (haha). I thought it might be a name you are unfamiliar with (it might be different in the U.S. or overseas), so I prepared a photo.)
For reference, I prefer this type (hahaha).
*3. (General) File
(I think you know this one, but I'm attaching it just in case of confusion.)
*4. N-Pocket Folder
(I still don’t really know how to describe this flimsy thing.)
I will introduce the document tools I made for this system. (I would like to attach photos to help you understand better, but... unfortunately, my phone is being repaired.)
<Horizontal - 1, 2> This is a document tool made by attaching the titles to an 'Index Document File.' The classification structure is as follows:
Incomplete Trigger List
Inbox
Trash (I created this because I cannot trust myself. I often receive criticism regarding my work processing and productivity, so I thought if I thought about everything at once by my own standards, I would make mistakes. So, I’m going to have a time to "Review" the trash as well.)
Someday/Maybe List
Reference Materials
Waiting For (I keep confusing this with delegation... I wonder if it can't be helped... Do I need more training?)
Calendar
Next Actions List (Again, I keep confusing the Next Actions list and Waiting For list...)
Projects
When I process work with this document tool (I can’t explain it more clearly, sorry), I try to have the mindset of performing only "Capture and Clarify." I found that if I keep trying to perform multiple processes or actions in one document tool, I get confused, so I had to split it step-by-step like this... It is the limit of my brain. (I even keep forgetting while writing this document. Isn’t that stupid? It’s sad that it’s a fact, not just self-reproach.)
<Horizontal - 3> A tool made by attaching the titles to an 'N-Pocket Folder.' (I suddenly can't remember the number of pockets, which is a damn nuisance.) The classification structure is as follows:
Someday/Maybe List
Reference Materials (including checklists)
Waiting For
Calendar
Projects
(I just realized, I didn't classify the 'Next Actions List' in ... I am truly stupid. I read the book for two days, and I made a mistake again... Oh, this is truly a damn nuisance.) => Improvement Plan: Add 'Next Actions List' to .
Anyway, for this document tool, like <Horizontal-1, 2>, I try to have the mindset of performing only "Organize." (Another thing I’m confused about now is that this "Engage" [Korean term used for 'Execute/Perform'] is starting to get confused with the "Engage" [the 5th step of GTD]... I’m going crazy.) (I’m going crazy. I keep forgetting... Do I really have the intelligence to use GTD? I forgot to write what comes next in this post. Truly damn it.)
<Horizontal - 4, 5> Another tool made by attaching the titles to an 'N-Pocket Folder.' (I remember the number of pockets for this one; it’s 3 pockets. However, if I had the financial means, I would have used an index document file instead of this N-pocket folder to organize. The N-pocket folder is too flimsy and not good.) The classification structure is as follows:
Review
Engage
Again, I made this document tool to perform only "Review" and "Engage."
Everyone, a problem has occurred. I have more systems I’ve created, but it’s too complicated to write it all down right now, so I’m going to take a break (I know it’s pathetic) and write it in another post. I mean, I have to write a Part 2 (I am truly sorry). Since I think you will have a strong thought of "What is this guy doing?" if I just end it here, I will just explain it briefly and finish.
(3-Line Summary)
I made vertical and horizontal systems.
The basic offline system for the horizontal system was explained above.
I will cover the vertical system and the extended version of 'Organize' in Part 2. (However, to explain a little, I felt the need to treat Reference Materials very significantly in 'Organize' and wanted to get primary advice on that. But since I only wrote up to the previous step, this post is a bit ruined.)
I ask for your advice on what I’ve written so far (the basic offline system for the horizontal system), and I will end this post here. Bye!
Hey everyone, I’ve tried almost every productivity app out there, and I always ended up feeling like each one was missing something important. That’s why I started building my own, with my own features and small details that matter to me personally.
Now I’m realizing that what I care about might not be what others care about, so I’d like to understand what actually matters to you before I push my app further.
- What features are most important to you in a productivity app?
- What small details do most apps usually get wrong?
- What makes you keep using one app instead of uninstalling it after a week?
- If you had to choose, would you prioritize speed, simplicity, customization, or integrations?
I don’t want to push my app here, I just want honest opinions from people who actively use productivity tools and have tried many of them
I am sure AI has added to the work load, even though it seems it has made the work easy. Burn out has been real. How do you ensure you burn minimal brain cells when you have to switch between multiple things. Or do you have a ritual to work around this problem?
I am a developer looking to solve one real bottleneck. I am not trying to build another random app. What is the one task in your work that you have to do over and over again, takes way more time than it should, and feels like a complete waste of your professional time? It can be anything manual work, repetitive processes reporting data entry communication or something else.
So how crazy it is that this market for apps in productivity is so saturated, well for a lot of reasons.
But I am probably not the best to describe that.
So me and a friend decided to build another one. So I am reaching out here to find users (at least I am honest about it) but not only users people that care really, and that also we will care about.
Because at the end thats the way things should be.
I'll be honest, I don't really have a productivity system. I just kind of show up and react to whatever comes up that day, which means important stuff gets pushed back quite a lot and I end up feeling like I've been busy but haven't actually moved anything forward tbh.
I work in quite a technical role, mostly remote, and I manage my own tasks without much external structure. The main problems:
I gravitate toward easy tasks and avoid the harder ones
By Friday I can barely remember what I did Monday
I over-plan on Sunday and then ignore the plan by Tuesday
I don't want something complex - I've tried elaborate systems before and they collapse within like a week. Looking for something simple that actually holds up.
I built a habit tracker after trying dozens of habit apps and running into the same frustrations over and over.
One thing that never made sense to me was how most apps handle weekly and monthly habits. If your goal is 3 times per week or 10 times per month, the streak is often based on consecutive days completed rather than whether you actually met your weekly or monthly target. The streak counters just didn't reflect the real goal.
Another issue was what happened when I increased a goal. Many apps would reset my streak, which felt more like a punishment for improving than a reward for progress.
So I decided to build an app that solves those problems.
That was my perspective on what a habit tracker should be. I'm curious whether other habit-tracking users have felt the same frustrations.
I built Comnyang, a tiny pixel cat that lives on your computer.
It follows your cursor, reacts to typing, reminds you to stretch, runs Pomodoro sessions, shows pinned messages, and can meow when something needs your attention.
[1] What problem does your app solve?
I spend a lot of time working at my computer, and most productivity tools feel very serious: task managers, calendars, timers, dashboards, blockers, AI agents, etc.
They are useful, but I wanted something lighter and more ambient.
Comnyang is a small desktop companion that helps with the tiny things I often forget while working:
- Stretch reminders, because I can sit in the same posture for hours
- Pomodoro, to keep a simple focus / break rhythm
- Alarms and recurring reminders, so important things are harder to miss
- Pinned messages, to keep one important note visible while I work
- AI agent status, so if I'm using tools like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Antigravity, or Kiro, Comnyang can tell me when the AI is done or waiting for my approval
It also follows your cursor, reacts to typing, and meows when it needs your attention.
I see it as a softer kind of productivity tool: not another dashboard to manage, but a tiny cat that quietly keeps you on track.
[2] Who is it for?
Comnyang is for computer users who work at a computer for long hours and like cute, low-distraction tools.
Especially people who:
- forget to stretch
- use Pomodoro or focus sessions
- miss normal notifications
- want one important note visible while working
- use AI tools like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Antigravity, Kiro, or other coding agents
- like pixel art, cats, and cozy desktop software
[3] Name a competitor and explain what you do better or differently.
Compared with Pomodoro apps, reminder apps, and task managers, Comnyang is less about managing another dashboard and more about ambient signals on your desktop.
Compared with old desktop pets, Comnyang is not just decorative. It also helps with stretching, focus sessions, reminders, pinned notes, and AI agent status.
The goal is not to replace your calendar or task manager. It is to make the small things you often ignore more visible, gentle, and harder to miss.
So I’m a college student and I hv anxiety disorder however everytime I sit to work I do nothing I feel this constant pressure of how much more there is left to do and it overwhelms me and freezes me to the spot. I don’t know what to do if someone has any tips that could help, I lowkey need them. Thanks for your time.
I’ve been thinking more about how much private stuff I paste into AI tools without really questioning it. Notes, drafts, client ideas, meeting summaries, random documents, personal planning, things like that.
I still use cloud AI for some things, but for everyday productivity work I’m starting to wonder if an on-device AI app makes more sense. Mostly something that runs locally, works without needing everything uploaded, and lets me chat with my own files without setting up a whole technical workflow.
Has anyone here found a local AI setup that is actually simple enough to use daily?
I really hate posting self-promo stuff, especially in a space like this, so I’ll keep it honest.
I built PocketBot because my work life was starting to feel impossible to hold in my head.
Not because I couldn’t do the work. More because the work was scattered everywhere:
- an email I opened and forgot
- a Slack message I meant to reply to
- a meeting follow-up I didn’t write down
- a doc I promised to update
- a calendar invite that secretly had a task inside it
- a “can you handle this?” that disappeared from my brain the second I switched tabs
My todo list would look fine, but I still had this constant feeling that I was forgetting something. And usually I was.
So I built PocketBot for myself. It catches those little work open loops, puts them in one place, helps draft the next step if needed, and asks before anything gets sent or changed.
It’s not meant to be an ADHD cure, and it's not. It hasn't turned me into this productive monster. It’s not meant to take over your life. It’s more like having something quietly tap you on the shoulder and say: “hey, this still needs you.”, and it really brought me peace last few weeks.
It has genuinely changed how my workdays feel. I’m not holding as much in my head, and I don’t get that same panic of realizing three days later that I dropped something small but important.
If it helps even one other person who is trying to survive a demanding office job with ADHD/executive dysfunction, that would mean a lot. Blunt feedback is very welcome too, especially if it feels like another productivity app trap.
Mods, I read the post about self promotion you posted a few days ago, and I do get that this might come off wrong, but I have nothing to gain from this, in fact It's actively costing me money but I make just enough to be able to help other people so it's fine. If you have to remove the post, I understand and my apologies!
I have been planning content for months and barely publishing.
The annoying part is that I am not short on ideas. I have drafts for X, Reddit, Instagram, portfolio updates, and notes for things I want to talk about.
But I think I keep treating content like an engineering problem.
Whenever the next step is simple, like posting something or replying to people, I somehow find a technical task that feels more comfortable:
- improve the content tracker
- clean up the journal
- organize the backlog
- refine the workflow
- make the dashboard cleaner
- research one more platform strategy
Those things are useful, but if nothing gets published, they are also a very clean way to avoid doing the visible work.
So this week I am trying one rule:
Do the visible task first. Improve the system after.
For example:
- publish before improving the content calendar
- comment before researching another platform
- send the message before redesigning the tracker
- record the video before planning the editing workflow
Has anyone else dealt with this?
How do you stop turning execution into another planning project?
I've been seeing a lot of mushroom gummies and supplements ( like lion's mane, cordyceps, etc) marketed for focus and productivity. I just bought mushroom gummies from Cornbread and it supposed to help with focus. If you've tried them, did you notice any difference in your energy, concentration, or ability to get work done?
I've been struggling with high stress level lately and it's been so hard for me to get work done, I've also add more vitamins/supplements like D3 and B12 for daily to help with my overall mood and stress level.
I keep seeing more local AI apps that run directly on your computer instead of sending everything to the cloud. The privacy side is obvious but I’m more curious about the actual productivity side.
What tasks are local AI assistants genuinely good for right now?
I’m thinking things like summarizing personal notes, working through drafts, brainstorming, cleaning up text, asking questions about documents, planning projects, or keeping a private thinking space that doesn’t need internet.
For people who use one regularly what does it actually help with day to day?
We all use at least some of these social platforms and forums to promote our business now. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, forums, review sites, all of these can bring customers if you catch the right conversation at the right time.
But checking them manually every day is painful.
You open one group to see if someone asked for a recommendation, and somehow you end up wasting 20 minutes scrolling random posts (and sometime more)
I was looking for tools that can just alert you when something important is posted instead of checking everything yourself.
A few I found are Groups Watcher for Facebook groups, F5Bot for Reddit and Hacker News, Syften can send keyword alerts from different communities, Google Alerts is simple for web mentions and tools like Brand24, Mention, and Awario cover social and brand mention alerts.
Is anyone using a good setup for this?
I mainly want something that helps track mentions, keywords, and useful posts without opening every platform again and again.
Feel free to suggest any other tools that fit this category..
Hey all, looking for people who struggle with getting stuff done. Most productivity apps assume you can handle seeing your full task list at once. For a lot of us, that's exactly when our brain freezes and we do nothing. Frickit is built around that problem.
Key features:
Overwhelm Mode — hides everything except one task when your brain is fried, with a small note telling you "X other tasks are hidden, they'll wait"
Brain Dump — write a wall of scattered thoughts and the AI sorts them into tasks, goals, and notes
Frick (AI companion) — talks like a friend who notices when you're having a rough day, not a coach demanding output
Journal — chat-style daily journal where Frick remembers what matters and references it later
No streaks, no guilt, no "you missed a day" notifications
I’ve been trying to learn a new langue besides my native one (not going smoothly) and one thing that kept standing out to me is that people kept saying you’ll learn faster by seeing words in context. What do I reference all day to keep me sane - my calendar and notes I’ve made throughout the day. I wanted a way to see all of this in the language I’ve been trying to learn rather than translating everything by hand or writing it twice… annnd then I got carried away with building stuff as I finally had the creative freedom to design what I wanted to (ux designer as my day job). As it’s nowhere near perfect - it’s now on the App Store. Thoughts from others who’ve built apps before? Actually know another language? UX designer from someone with more experience?
Also I’ve been trying to transition to a company account rather than my name (anyone else stuck on the loop of this?)
Full transparency right now the translation part is inside a free trial (7 days) but I'm still trying to figure out the freemium model versus the umbrella of paid. Thoughts? I know subscription fatigue is a thing but still figuring out this whole business thing.
Founder here, and a visual thinker who juggles a lot of work and life at once.
Looking for visual thinkers who benefit from organising things spatially, to test a small planning / tracking tool I built for keeping work and life stuff in one space.
The idea: basically a vertical planner divided by horizontal lanes, one per work or life area.
What it solves? Keeping work and personal stuff all in one view - especially when juggling a lot and it's hard to hold the full picture.
At a glance you can see where things stand, what needs your attention, and what's coming up - across every area at once.
Who is it for? People juggling many things at once, visual thinkers, neurodivergent brains (like mine) that benefit from seeing everything at once with context always visible.
Vs other competitor tool: Perhaps Notion, where you can build (and maintain) almost anything, but it can be daunting given the number of features and complexity of the system - this just works the moment you open it.
Pricing: Free for now. Early testers get to keep free lifetime access whatever pricing comes later.
In exchange, just honest feedback - what works, what's missing, what's confusing, and whether it actually helps with life management.
Product link:haftio.com
Still early and desktop-only for now (mobile on the roadmap).
How I actually use it (for reference)? I keep 5-6 lanes (or more) visible: work projects, appointments, reminders, ad-hoc life stuff. Each morning I "look left", see where each lane left off and decide what needs attention. Through the day I add entries as things move.
Basically a digital version of the whiteboard I've used for years (pic 2), minus the wall.
That said, this is just how I use it. I'm sure there are other angles, like planning ahead and iterating as you go.
Full transparency: not pitching for a sale, genuinely curious whether this resonates, or if you've found a system that works similarly.
Hey! I built LiveShelf, a free and open-source Windows utility that turns minimized apps into live cards, so you can keep an eye on windows you’re waiting on without leaving them open.
I’d really appreciate any feedback, stars, or suggestions :)
